A guy that tried to rob a store got jump kicked in the back by a store clerk who is said to have black belts in six different arts including an unnamed form of kung fu.

I wish we could do that to every crook!

Good story. But would the owner lawfully be allowed to kick the fleeing man in the back? Granted, there was a knife involved, but the threat was already over as the man ran out.

Maybe one of the LEOs will explain whether or not he was allowed to do what he did.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would actually pursue that one. If they did, they should definitely let him off due temp insanity or something. I mean, dang! He just had the threat of possibly losing his life! LOL! I doubt if I can understnd why he chased an armed person without being armed himself, dropped down into a fighting stance, and then did a jumping/leaping lumbar kick towards a glass door, and then pulled out a cell phone while outside the store (who was inside watching for shoplifters and, I dunno... the till?)...hence, the temp insanity defense.

Peace

maybe he pictured what he would do incase something like that ever happend for years and years in his mind and how cool he could look and possibly hitting the news as kung fu man. when it finaly happend.. that was the end result.. jump flying kung fu kick to the back of a fleeing armed criminal..lol NOW, if mr crimal had turned around into charging kung fu man what might have happend?? I Sence mr kung fu man would have a blade in his gut. BUt who knows.. defintly not me

Well if he was in Texas he would be allowed, he could have shot the guy in the back. In California however, I don't know.

You can shoot someone in the back in Texas?

As long as he still had the weapon or was fleeing with property then yes, you can shoot him anywhere.

I used to have a cool video of a robbery here, two guys in ski masks robbing a store clerk. All of a sudden you see them both look at the front door and then run out, followed by the sound of several shots. It was a citizen who drove up and saw it. He popped a few rounds at them as they ran off, too bad he missed.

God Bless Texas!

Let's get some common sense laws around here!
