There’s more. The ‘security expert’ they interviewed toward the end said the items were ‘replaceable’ so he should have let them take them. That had to be the reporters opinion. Storeowner had to buzz them in so what does that tell you about the neighborhood? The attitude of the ‘security expert’ suggests his opinion is good for his own business. In the meantime the small businessman barely getting by can only depend on his biceps. They were impressive.

The ‘security expert’ was ‘trained’. Nyugen wasn’t. Something tells me we need more vigilantes.

I'm pretty sure that he was called because he knew the answer she wanted.

That’s one way to handle it, for sure.

“There’s more. The ‘security expert’ they interviewed toward the end said the items were ‘replaceable’ so he should have let them take them.”

What items? The shop owner was defending his life, no articles had been taken. A whole store full of stuff and the guy jumps the counter where the owner is...

Many of the comments on Twitter want the owner to go to jail.

People are wholly unprepared for the level of violence that’s coming.

They thought that they could defund the police, throw cops in prison, and let criminals walk free without consequence.

They're actually trying knife control in the UK. There's boxes set up on the streets of London for the thugs misguided youths to anonymously drop off their knives. "Save a life, give up your knife". G Gordon Liddy once said oftentimes knives can be more effective than guns. They're always loaded and never go BANG when you use them.

Smokestrom-that’s the name of the store. Johnny’s got some really good google reviews. I’d pay $100 for a $5 item and tell him to keep the change.

I even looked at condos in that area. Internet voices said the crime is not worth it. It’s all of Las Vegas.

A 12ga. short barrel firearm would be safer for the owner.

But then the owner runs the risk of breaking his own merchandise.

He may be in trouble for moving the body after the robber stopped resisting.

No one died, so there is no body.

He wasn’t moving the body in an attempt to conceal what had happened.

I love the way the guy dragged the “dead” guy from out behind his counter. That was some awesome Chuck Norris stuff.

In the USA we have a TV show where you make knives and swords at home.

Some piss poor advice from the cop...don't resist?, let them steal?

Does that include rape?

My property is my life, expect me to act accordingly.

A few more of these videos and punks will think twice before they act.

Me, too. Nothing disturbing there. At all.

Quite the opposite. Enthralling, exciting, uplifting, encouraging and wonderful come to mind.

Yep. Nothing disturbing at all.

Want disturbing?

This dumbass FAFO'd, gets stabbed in the neck, and stands around looking stupid for a few moments before dropping dead.

A group of men were involved in a fight in a shopping center.

And if you liked that one, here's a bank robber getting shot in the neck. He actually returns fire, wounding the guard who shot him as blood spews out like a garden hose before he assumes room temperature.
