In the US criminals have the right to walk into businesses and steal. If 50 criminals crash a store overpower the people in the store and do a mass robbery, nobody has the right to stop them, except the police.
People are not allowed to use weapons to stop the robbery.
Are the laws the same in all countries?
Personally, I believe once you commit a crime, the person you are offending should have the right to defend themselves and their property. But hey, I am not a criminal so I am not big on giving criminals the right to steal.

But are you sure the store owner cannot produce a gun and tell the robbers to leave. I can see why they can’t start shooting unarmed people for stealing.

@eladar saidSure, why not.
A mechanic is having his tools stolen at night. He could not stop it, police could do nothing, so he electrified his tool chest.
The guy breaks in, tries to steal the tools, but gets electrocuted and dies instead.
The mechanic gets put in jail for murder?

@divegeester saidLol, I already explained it. You cannot stop it. Look at the looters, nobody can stop them either. If I walk into your house kick the crap out of you and take something worthless from where you live, then you cannot stop me. You have nothing to stop a person who can over power you.
Eladar...?

@eladar saidIs this an hypothetical or an actual case. There's an actual case that's similar to this we can discuss; Katko v. Briney, 183 N.W.2d 657 (Iowa 1971).

@eladar said50 people crashing a store and helping themselves to the goods could happen anywhere.

Maybe the bigger question to be asked is ...
Why is this happening in America ?
And not anywhere else with anywhere near the same frequency ?
