    Florida gas station owner arrested after shooting beer thief, deputies say

    A gas station store owner in Florida was arrested after he allegedly shot a man who stole roughly $36 worth of beer from his shop.

    Mehedeun Hasan, 22, was charged with attempted murder after deputies with the Polk's County Sheriff's Office said he shot 43-year-old Rennie Defoe, Jr., Fox 13 reported

    Defoe, police said, stole three 18-packs of Natural Ice beer from the store on Tuesday night and hopped into his Toyota Camry.

    Hasan and his 61-year-old father, who co-owns the store, witnessed Defoe take the beer. Hasan is seen on surveillance footage running toward a private area of the store, and returning with a handgun.

    Both Hasan and his father run after Defoe, but not before Hasan seemingly drops the gun and kicks it.

    Afterwards, security video appears to show Hasan pointing the gun directly into Defoe's car window and shooting as he backs up and drives away.

    Some point after he was shot, Defoe crashed his car, the news station reported. He was transported to a hospital with gunshot wounds in his left arm and chest, and remains in critical condition.

    Deputies said Defoe, who was recently released from prison, has a criminal history, which includes charges of robbery, domestic battery and drug possession.

    Hasan has no criminal record.

    You'd kill someone for stealing three 18 packs, but you won't kill someone for trying to put you in a cell for life. I just don't understand it.

    There is a chance you might be in the right with a thief.

    These days I think it might be better to be carried by six instead of judged by 12.

    The gunshot was more humane than the "natty ice" - 18 packs?

    Non-compliance is a capital offense anyway. Just ask any gun toting officer.

    At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?

    He didn't threaten the owner with the car... I don't think he will walk.
    Pretty blatant theft though... owner could have damaged the car instead of shooting at the thief.

    Valuable lesson learned here, folks.

    Some animals are more equal than others.

    Just because Officer Friendly can blow you away for nothing, doesn't mean you can.

    Thieves caught in the act should be killed. Death IS a deterrent. If he shot at the car than I'm sure he would have gotten "unlawful discharge," "discharging a firearm in city limits, or such. Shoot a thief. Shoot those that come for you for shooting the thief. Whether family or the family coerced "law enforcement" agency that comes for you. Stand or don't. Wear your chains lightly or shuffle of the mortal coil.
