But the security was out of line to kill him. Extrajudicial killings should be punished. Theft doesn't deserve a death penalty.
Your attempt to conflate theft with robbery is intellectually dishonest. Theft involves non-confrontational stealing. No confrontation- no chance of the innocent victim getting killed.
Robbery always involves a confrontation. Since the suspect is threatening the safety of the victim there is perfectly legitimate right to use that level of force against the criminal.
Period.
