A black teen ran out with a $2 beer. Then a Tennessee store clerk followed him and shot him dead

A jury found a grocery clerk guilty of killing a 17-year-old boy who left the store with a beer he didn't pay for in Memphis, Tennessee, in a case that had sparked protests, authorities said.

Anwar Ghazali was convicted of second-degree murder after a four-day trial, Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich said Friday."This defendant took it upon himself to be the judge and jury and the executioner over a $2 beer," prosecutor Lora Fowler said, according to CNN affiliate WMC.The shooting happened in March 2018, after Dorian Harris walked out of the Top Stop Shop with a beer without paying, Weirich said.

By the time the cops got there, he would have been long gone

That's not the point, don't steal. And im sure that's not the first thing he sells stole. Quit feeling sorry for criminals.

Everybody seems to overlook the fact that if this kid HAD NOT stolen the beer, he would still be alive.

Guilty of killing a thief? He was doing society a favor.

😏😒😞😔😟😕🙁☹️😣😖😫😩🥺😢😭😤😠 🤬🤯😳

But it's okay for police to shot people!

We’re having a lot of problems with foreigners in the city. Being too harsh. This behavior is accepted in their home country not in the USA. Stand up for real AMERICANS!! This poor 17 year old child is dead. Over a few dollars of beer. How very sad.

So, he was found guilty of murder. Why didn't you just say that?

That is democracy.. please dont politicize everything..

For a $2 item you shoot at someone? WtF?

And he should have been found guilty. What kinda shit is that shooting somebody over a fucking beer?

A theft is a theft...no mattee the amount stolen.

The guy with a gun was a Muslim immigrant Anwar Gazali. He shot up one of your own in YOUR country and let him bleed to death like a pig when he should have called the police. BRING BACK THE CHAIR. FRY HIM.

What the hell is wrong with you people? We have a corrupt GOP crime syndicate stealing billions of dollars and none of you care--but a kid steals a two dollar beer and you're responding with, 'Good' and other nonsense because he's dead? Way to prioritize serious offenses.

Killing a kid for $2 dollars. There is no excuse for that. A life has no value. If you get the death penalty, GOOD!!!!

KaivanShroff What do people think life is worth? Senseless murder of a young person can't be reversed

rtyson82 Shit if it was a cop they’d promote his ass

Stealing a beer =/= death penalty

rtyson82 File this in the 'fucking obviously' category.

Good! One less Thief in the world

Bluff City. In HOT pursuit with a gun very seldom turns out favorably, unless he/she is a uniformed police 👮🏻‍♀️ 🚔 👮🏾 officer.

So sorry to hear of this tragedy and so sorry the under age kid made the bad decision to steal an alcoholic beverage he knew he couldn't legally have. But the grocery clerk should have called the cops immediately if he thought he shot the kid and let them sort it all out.

Shot and killed him for a $2 beer obviously the clerk wanted to murder someone and waited for the perfect Moment

Thanks for %trying% anyway...

Damn, I’m glad I never went to that store in my teens 😳

Unbelievable senseless mind of the grocery clerk, unbelievable injustice vs works of justice.

A human life is worth a lousy $2? Now the next question: Was the teen black or white? How about the clerk?

What beer cost $2 ?

Omg

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

BlackLivesMatter

Good!

Good guy with a gun

We live in crazy times

Colt 45? 🔫🤔

Clerk’s name was Anwar, and he killed an American. If the clerk was white, his race would be in the headline. 🖕🏼🖕🏼you,

Store clerk found guilty of murder for chasing, fatally shooting teen who stole $2 drinkThe former convenience store employee was accused of gunning down a teenager that stole a beer from a Tennessee convenience store. Good. My question is: how much does someone have to steal before it’s okay to shoot them? Seriously bad mistake. 'Grab and run' is common in convenience stores. Nothing in the store is worth a life. Now, if a thief points a weapon at you and your life is in danger that's another story.
