Texas store owner arrested after killing robber


I read the article, “Texas store owner arrested after killing robber” on Fox News. The owner of store has been arrested for murder after shooting a robber who attenoted to steal beer from his shop. The event shows us a debatable issue. Should we see the store owner who killed robber as a murderer? Killing people for whatever reason cannot justify. We humans do not have any right to kill other people. However, if you are in the situation that you could die by someone if you don’t kill him, should you kill him or be killed? The store owner killed the robber to defend himself. Some people dispute this opinion. They might claim that his act is excessive defense. However, how can we expect what the robber will do? If he did not shoot the robber, he could be killed by him. In general, the main argumentation is that the arrest of the store owner who killed the robber is right or wrong.The article seems to support their opinion through emphasis of the word ‘robber’. They claims that the store owner acted in self-defense. I agree with the article’s opinion. Killing someone cannot justify for any reasons. However, the point is that the owner did not try to kill someone. He just wanted to ensure his safety. We should treat his act as self-defense.
