I never thought about it before but, Billy had a motive to shoot the clerk! The clerk tried to cheat Billy on the slushy! If we as the audience are supposed to feel bad about the clerk, that went right out the window with the slush!!!! Lol

Slushy cheating = justifiable homicide in my expert legal opinion

Why should he need a motive. It's just a convince store clerk. Hell, he should have been allowed to blast JT just for the fun of it too.

You don't just shoot a man in cold blood who can take a chicken drumstick to the bone in one shot like that..

Naw, JT is the one who wants to fight Vinny over the 200 dollars.
