Fighting Crime with a Vodka Bottle in Place of a Gun

What we need is a law making it illegal for an employer to restrict or punish an employee for self-defense! If an employee is at risk of an aggravated assault, then they have a right to use any legal means of self-defense at their disposal! Without risk of losing their job for exercising that right!

A-men' to that Art, being that the gangster was black, if Al Sharpton, Jackson, or Jeremiah Wright see this video, they would be calling that guy with a vodka bottle a racist.

It happens probably nightly. A citizen fights off a criminal in order to protect his property. But it doesn't always make the nightly news. In this case it did.   

But...

How much easier and safer would have been this takedown of a punk in New York City if the clerk had been equipped with a hand gun rather than just a vodka bottle?  How much less of a burden to the taxpayer too, who will now have to incarcerate the criminal?

And just think of chilling effect it would have on criminals if shootings of miscreants during crimes like this were on the nightly...
