Cotton candy vendor in critical condition, after being punched by teen

I am not letting anyone punch me. If I have to shoot them first, so be it.

As far as the cotton candy vendor goes, the teenager's defense may be "he needed punching". The old guy is a convicted sex offender. All that said, I just wanted to illustrate a case where unarmed was still deadly force.
Nothing in that article about the cotton-candy vendor being a sex offender, but it did mention that the confrontation started when he yelled at the teen when the teen took some cotton-candy without paying.
It is possible that the cotton-candy thief knew about it and thought he could get away without paying. I am curious why no charges have been filed.
