It's always interesting to read what all the "hardcore" people have to say. "I always bring my tec-9 wherever I go"..."fools wouldv'e been capped if it was me"...etc. IDK, I guess I'm not ethug enough, but I think he would've have a hard time justifying shooting someone because they snatched his ipad and ran off. Was his life ever in eminent danger, since I wasn't there I can't say for sure, but I doubt it based off the story given. It's all about being smarter and safer from the beginning so the likelihood of these things occurring is reduced, if not eliminated. GL to the OP, I hope the police catch them.
