Default Memphis store clerk who fatally shot teen over theft of $2 beer found guilty of murder

A Memphis store clerk was convicted of second-degree murder Thursday in the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old boy who left his store without paying for a $2 beer.

Anwar Ghazali, 29, faces between 15 and 60 years in prison for the death of Dorian Harris, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal. He is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 23.

The shooting took place on March 30, 2018, after Harris walked out of Ghazali’s store with a beer he didn’t pay for.

Ghazali, carrying a handgun, followed Harris outside and fired several times, prosecutors said. He reportedly told a witness upon returning to the store: “I think I shot him.”

Harris was shot at least three times and bled to death. His body was found two days later in a nearby abandoned yard, The Commercial Appeal reported.

Ghazali's attorneys said the shots were not meant to kill Harris but were supposed to be warning shots. Prosecutors noted that surveillance video showed Ghazali re-enter the store and continue serving customers after his brief pursuit of Harris. The clerk did not report the theft or the shooting.

“The defendant took it upon himself to be the judge, the jury, and the executioner over a $2 [drink]. That’s why we’re here,” state Prosecutor Lee Fowler said. “Why are you using deadly force to defend a [drink]?”

Harris' family has filed a civil suit against the store's owner.

Never fire warning shots. If you don't mean to kill, don't shoot.

Anwar Ghazali did the job white men are too afraid to do. Anwar probably didn't understand how the (((American legal system))) works and how if a white or non-black shoots a nigger for bad behavior (((IT))) does not smile kindly on that person.

Anwar probably comes from a nation with a legal system that makes more sense and isn't steeped in Talmudic doctrines and precedent and where if someone steals from your store you are allowed to deal with the problem however you so choose without legal repercussions.

Or in the rest of the world. When I was at college back in the 80's, one of the students in my rooming house was from Burma (somewhat before it became Myanmar), and we had a lot of good conversations. He asked me about crime in America.
"When someone murders someone, why don't you just kill them? It's what we do? I don't understand why you Americans favor criminals."
