Stop hitting them. They were injured and he had 2-3 co-workers and several customers that could assist if needed. They were never a real threat to anyone, the threat of a metal rod alone would have made them run out of the store. The beating was pure adrenalin and instinct, of course it was instinct of a convicted murderer.
The best way to stop people from acting like wild animals is to stop treating them like one. The way some of you are cheering about people being beat on the floor make me think you see the color of the skin and your personal bias takes over. If these were pretty upscale white woman being beat by a black man your tune would change,as would the courts.
Bullshit. I wouldn't change my tune one bit and neither would the courts, the case was clear cut and dry, he committed NO CRIME. He feared for his life and may have saved it. I'm cheering for him because it was such a clear case of self defense which I strongly support.
And you need to watch the video, he only hit them when they tried to attack him again (by getting up). At that point they were still a threat and he could reasonable assume by their prior actions they were coming back after him.
Here's how lethal force could be applied, I shoot you and knock you down, you get up and take one move in my direction or act like you're reaching for something, I'm shooting you again, even if you're on the ground. Know why that is legally allowed? You're still a threat and I feared for my life. You can apply this exactly to how this went down.
