In reality the deciding factor was most likely race aka..........the robber black the store clerk white.....that would be my analysis of the situation.
These are entirely different situationsUnder Section 776.041, Florida Statutes, self-defense is not available to a person who is attempting to commit, committing, or escaping after the commission of a forcible felony.
Can Force Be Used to Defend Property?
In California, the owner or person in possession of the personal property can use reasonable force to protect their property from harm. Furthermore, a person can also use force to protect the property of a family member or guest from harm.
Reasonable force is defined as the amount of force that a reasonable person in a similar situation would believe is necessary to protect the property from harm.
The deadly force used in the protection of the property is authorized in the following circumstances.
- To defend a habitation or property against someone who intends to commit a felony by either violence or surprise.
- To defend a residence or property against an intruder attempting to enter that property violently with the intent of committing violence against someone inside.
