[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3817309, member: 745"] John Correia mentioned "proportionality." Regardless of the shop proprietor not being over 65, there is definitely a dis-proportionality when you consider the age difference and physical differences in the build on the younger man compared to the 'soft' physique of the much older proprietor. The knife amounts to at least an equalizer. Also note the premeditation of the younger man. He came with obvious intent to harm or otherwise force submission upon the proprietor by an assault. I don't believe he was there to beg for a bag of chips. Lacking neither a person of equal stature to the assailant on hand, nor a cop standing by, I believe the proprietor did well by taking advantage of what he had on hand to defend himself - especially in the confines of the bodega, and, with no escape route.
