佛罗里达州。5月23，2014。
一个人拿着box cutter刀到convenience store对着店主。店里还有一个人（一位顾客），面对别人生命受到威胁，拿出自己的pocket knife和罪犯扭打起来。最后罪犯死了。
该好人得到居民的大力支持（大家都称呼他英雄）。但是他表示拒绝。说既然有人死了我怎么能被称为英雄。并且还开始失眠。
事后知道，那个罪犯是个吸毒的。这大概也解释了为什么在发现有人用刀见义勇为后，罪犯为什么会缠斗而没有跑。罪犯的母亲亲自到好人家里拥抱了该英雄。表示，很爱自己的儿子，尽管他有罪。但是好人做了应该做的事情。
有录像证明店主的生命受到威胁。所以一位前地区检察官说应该不会有任何像zimmerman那样的麻烦。
两个人，哪个是好人，哪个是坏人？这还是比较明显的。
两把刀，坏人用的刀没有杀人，好人用的刀倒杀了人。哪把是好刀，哪把是坏刀？坏人可能是冲着店里的现金诱惑去的。你说现金是好的还是坏的？
正如我们一直说，无生命的物件没所谓好坏。不是刀杀人，是人杀人；不是枪杀人，而是人杀人。商店里卖的所有的box cutter都无所谓好坏。而是坏人用刀去杀人，而好人用刀去保护生命。枪也是一样，坏人要用枪去实施犯罪，好人要拥枪去保护生命。
Newly released surveillance video shows what happened when a man tried to rob a convenience store in Fruitland, Florida. It started as armed robbery, and ended in a deadly struggle between a customer and the robber.
“This isn’t exactly ‘Stand Your Ground’, but this is what ‘Stand Your Ground’ was written for.”
Written for an incident like this: a customer stepping in to save a clerk’s life from an armed robber. 37-year old Anthony Shebester was at the counter buying cigarettes, when the bad guy came in with his face covered and jumped over the counter with a box cutter.
Shebester thought fast, pulled out a pocket knife and went over to help the 61-year-old convenience store clerk. The two tussled and Shebester stabbed the robber in the chest. Minutes later, he died.
“This is kind of the opposite of what you see in the Jordan Davis and Trayvon Martin cases and those sort of things where you have a video of the ability of somebody to show a reasonable fear of eminent death or great bodily harm.”
I watched the surveillance video with attorney Randy Reep who used to be a prosecutor. He says it’s perfectly legal to use deadly force to defend another’s life.
“It’s interesting because if you’re wrong, you’re responsible for all the things you would be responsible for if it wasn’t reasonable that you used deadly force.”
Shebester’s dad says they appreciate the outpouring of community support but his son is having a hard time sleeping at night and does not want to be called a “hero.”
“He said ‘how can I be a hero when somebody died?’”
The robber was 42-year-old Jeff Lohman, whose mom showed up at Shebester’s home and hugged him.
“She said I just want to come over and I want to congratulate you that you saved that store clerk’s life; that my son would’ve possibly killed him because he needed his drug money and he has been on drugs.”
Lohman’s mom was afraid something like this was going to happen. And although she loved her troubled son, knows Shebester did what he had to.
“Randy do you think there’s any chance that this man could be charged with murder?”
“No, certainly not correctly. That is self-defense or the defense of another, clear, almost law school textbook of the circumstances where you’re allowed to do that and he did it appropriately.”
