He had an IQ about as high as room temperature, a moron at best. Judging by his past behavior nothing of value was lost.

Can you imagine the feeling of dread the robbers had when 3 employees pulled a gun out and started shooting? 

Talk about an "Aha!" moment of awareness.

To quote our former (thankfully) President, it was a "teachable moment."

I remember years ago when the Police or Sheriff in a city offered firearms training to store owners.  They felt the robbery rate was climbing.

Law Enforcement in another city down the road commended the practice.

After the first two instances where the trained store owners killed robbers, the robbery rate in the trained city dropped to near zero while the one in the city condemning the training doubled.

Even the dumbest crooks can learn that easy lesson after an example or two....

When I was a kid the police chief in little rock got on the radio, tv and news papets saying they were putting armed plain clothed officer in the stop and robs witth orders too shoot too kill any robbers. They were have about a dozen a week,  nonehappened on the 1st 2 days, on the 3rd day they shot and killed 3.  No other robberies happened for 16 months.
