Since 41 cents is well established as being much to low of a number to justify beating the shit out of somebody... what is the commonly decided dollar figure these days where this becomes justifiable?
Just curious. Because if you know a figure is too low, than you surely must know when the figure is "just right".

If someone owes you twenty bucks and won't pay it back, fisticuffs are justified.

Wouldn't have helped much here, since her glasses got punched off. Hell, he might have even made a grab for it. Come on! How is adding at least one death on top of everything else NOT an improvement? If it's the robber it would be, for society anyway. I doubt that guy adds much positive value to it.

It looks like Larry Holmes attempting yet another comeback.

Truly people killing one-another over a punch and half the price of a condom is the sign of a safe society. This kind of logic is exactly why I feel civilians should NOT be allowed to carry firearms. And as others have mentioned, considering she was taken by surprise, at best she wouldn't have had time to draw it, at worst she would have given him an opportunity to steal the gun.

Lets try to steer clear of anything gun-rights related.

I would have let him have it when he tried to snatch it. Screw that over a buck forty-one.

After he punched her out,he should have went to the pumps and let gasoline run everywhere. He then should have lit the cigar with a match and tossed the match behind him while walking away in slow motion as the Chevron exploded in a ball of flames.

Punching someone in the face when they aren't expecting it isn't as banal as you are making it out to be. It can be quite deadly (some soccer ref in Utah was killed a few months ago that way). But more to the point, anyone who is willing to just randomly punch someone in the face, a woman no less, for no reason (or in this case for no reason that's justifiable) is an absolute psychopath and it's only a matter of time before that person seriously hurts or kills someone. And let me amend my last statement. It's too bad someone in line didn't have a gun. At the very least he could have held him there until the cops were called.

Wait until we find out the dude hit his knee on the counter and sues the company and then they fire the girl.

The criminal can get shot, or punched back, or he can fall of a cliff for all I care.

Well not only is the guy a coward for hitting a women would most likely half his size but he is a also a shitty puncher as well.
