"Logan Police say David Abbot, 37, from Chapmanville had taken money from Jesus Canul, 26, of Logan (pictured above right) who had just cashed his paycheck at Wal-Mart.

Abbot threatened Canul with a sharp object, possibly scissors, during that robbery.

Once he took off with the money in the parking lot, reports indicate Canul, who has a concealed weapon permit, pulled out a gun and allegedly shot Abbot in the head. Abbot died at the Logan County Medical Center.

Canul claims he was acting in self defense, but Bennett says there are clear legal definitions for that."

So, if Canul had shot the perpetrator while he was being robbed, he'd be OK. But instead he shot him while the robber was running away with his paycheck, so he's facing a murder charge.

I say fuck that. David Abbot robbed a man's paycheck with a weapon. The world should be happy he got his head blown off for his efforts.
