Bravissimo!
I think I probably would have decorated the floor with his brains.
Kind of a shame that the vile worthless thug got a warning
Guarantee he pulls a gun on someone else.
The clerk should not have been armed. Owning a gun doesn’t work. He should have called the police instead; the police are the only ones who should have a gun.
And think of the emotional trauma and loss of self esteem the potential robber will suffer.
I would have shot him because he may come back - with friends!
What a man.
I love stories with a happy ending.
Now if that would only become more contagious.
“gimme three steps”
The robber wasn’t wearing a mask. Who knows, he may have been planning on killing the clerk (no witnesses)
Is this real? It looks like bad acting to me.
This SOB is apparently still on the loose.
Two comments about this. First of all the clerk used a very impressive martial arts technique.
That is, the perp had his gun hidden behind him in his right had, and turned while trying to raise the gun to point it at the clerk. With his left hand, the clerk “stopped” the perp from raising his gun, while with the clerk’s right hand, he pulled his own gun and put it in the perp’s face.
A “stop” is the technique. And while only delaying the perp from raising his gun for a fraction of a second, it was a fraction of a second that changed the whole equation.
The second thing is that he should have killed the perp.
Freeing an armed robber to rob again is no different than freeing a rapist to rape again. While he spared himself the inconvenience of an annoying inquest, he cast forth this criminal to likely rob someone less capable, and maybe to even kill them first to avoid the possibility that they were armed.
It is the “Matador Rule”. If a bull survives the ring with a matador, it is always killed, because the bullfighters know that bulls are intelligent enough to remember the fight, and adapt, so that the next time in the ring they would be far more dangerous, even lethal.
The same rule applies to criminals. If they foul up trying to rob or kill you, you had *better* kill them, or you are to blame for everyone they rob, and maybe kill, in the future. And many are so stupidly fixated on their modus operandi, that they may return to kill you.
The m.o.’s of criminals can be amazing in their stupidity. If they rob a convenience store and get away with it, for example, they might continue to rob convenience stores half a dozen times in the future, even if they are caught each time. Often they are so dumb, that they will try to rob the *same* convenience store over and over again.
So save everyone a whole lot of grief and shoot them to death.
SWEEET! Wish I could say I had the honor of serving in the same unit as him.. :^)
