I hope that shopping bag he used to hit him upside the head contained something very heavy.

I like the way the accomplice slips away.

I was trying to see what it is....at first I thought a gallon of milk....but, too small?

I hope it was very heavy, as well.

Nice work, he waited until the barrel was angled away t o the right of his left shoulder, and went in with an under the barrel grab and rolled the pistol up and out of the perps hand. Luckily it did not discharge, but if it did, the round would have went up into the ceiling.

Then he snogged that idiot with whatever he had in that bag...three cans of Tuna? I wish there was sound. Would have loved to hear the smack.

It wasn’t 2 seconds from the time the perp entered the store to the time the Marine’s fist was connecting to his face.

And you sure did not at all- that fella never knew what hit him- that other skinny punk/thug couldn’t get out of there fast enough- I hope the marine pummeled the other punk off camera till he was seeing stars-

Some things are fun to watch on a loop. The criminal would’ve had to go in shooting in order to avoid the Marine’s swift reaction.

Ha. Bravo Marine. I’ve watched it a dozen times now. Very satisfying to see the punk disarmed so quickly.

They just had the guy on Fox News. He said he had some energy drinks in the bag, And the last thing he said was Epstein didn’t kill himself. I hope he runs for congress.

He had keys in his left hand and dropped them as he went for the gun.

Talk about cool under pressure.

Yes, one of the smoothest takedowns ever.

Watching the YT video, at 0:13, the Marine clearly has his left hand on the robber’s right upper arm, pushing the arm away, but does not have his hand on the robber’s gun. Then the Marine leans in with his punch with the Marine’s right hand and the bad he was holding, and the robber falls back ward to the ground, and the video stops. I suspect that at that point, the Marine lands on top of the robbers arm with the Marine’s knees, and then takes the weapon from the robber.
