gcj post making fun of this man
Americans have a deep-seated deranged longing to be in a situation where absolute brutality can be hypothetically justified. Self-defense violence fantasies continue to be unhinged. There’s a shitload of supportive comments in the AMA too.
There was a giant gap between the shop owner and the thief before he lunged for the first stab. He wasn't realistically in any danger at that point and easily could have backed off. This is hardly a justifiable self-defence even without the clear intent to keep stabbing until the guy is dead.

My main issue here is: why are you playing some weird two-step game here, where you admit that this was not at all a legitimate use of force in the name of self-defense, then also make excuses for the guy doing it? Or talk some weird shit about how "If anyone steps to me, I'll put that punk down in two seconds."
It just feels like you're givin' off the same energy as the guy with the " 'Within the Law' Could Cost me my Life. No Lives Matter." bumper-stickers that we had posted on here earlier this week, and I don't understand why you think saying any of this is necessary in this situation.
