PARIS — Outrage is growing in France over the decision to bring voluntary homicide charges against a jeweler who shot and killed an escaping robber, but the country's top security official on Tuesday urged fearful storekeepers to let justice take its course.
The 67-year-old jeweler, Stephan Turk, was confined at home with an electronic bracelet after the shooting last week that left a teenage robber dead in the street outside Turk's jewelry story in the French Riviera city of Nice. An accomplice escaped on a motorbike as the body lay in the street.

They should have given the Jeweler a metal. That place has been a hot bed of jewelry heists and the police are getting no where. One less mouth to feed in jail. Frank...

"Outrage is growing in France"

Sounds like a country that is getting tired of rolling over? Think they will decide they need a constitutional right to defend ones life and property one day?
