Sounds like his actions put a lot of others at an increased risk. Of course he didn't know whether these guys had homicidal intentions or not and was likely working on a worst case scenario is possible assumption. Tricky situation. I would of let em go, no sense killing people or pissing off armed criminals over some money, especially when it's not even mine.

She calls the business next door instead of the police? Strange. Glad it worked out for them, well, except the one who got shot. He shouldn't have been committing a crime.

If you do the crime, you gotta do the time........and if you get killed in the middle of it all then get what you deserve.
REALITY BITES DOESN'T IT?! :shrug:
