That you're bothered enough to LJ about it means he touched a nerve. Listen to those warning bells seriously. He may be socially awkward, but that neither excuses his behavior nor makes him any less dangerous. At any rate, he's loitering and I'm sure it's no benefit to the store to have a lurker who doesn't actually make purchases. Imagine the mothers of little children who won't stick around because he's there.
Talk to the friend who owns the shop. He/she won't be lying to you so you'll have a better idea of what's really going on.
To make a point (albeit drastically), Hitler & Stalin weren't "that bad just yet" either.

I firmly believe in "better safe than sorry"
