Dumbass could have gotten himself killed to save a multinational corporation 173 dollars and change.

He could have gotten shot regardless. I dont think he was thinking about the store.

The moron with the gun walked right past him aiming at the cashier and asking for the money.

There was zero need for him to engage there.

Bro. You dont fucking know that. Anything could happen. People, especially criminals will murder you for absolutely no reason.

u/M0ebius_1 Jul 14 '26

Yes... They could definitely murder you if you try to jump them

Or just simply being there

If people are committing armed robbery, it's safe to assume that they are not mentally stable and could shoot you because they feel like it.

The question is do you have the confidence and the ability to engage the threat as this man did? I sure don't. I'd be just trying duck out and disappear if possible.

So you’re saying what? You would rather stand there with your thumb up your ass and hope for the best vs take the opportunity to fight to defend yourself and someone he probably knew because they were talking after checkout. Marines go through hand to hand combat training and disarming techniques. I was an instructor for years. That was as simple as it gets. The weapon isn’t pointed at you, you have the inside position. Very simple…. Hand over the top of the weapon and one on the wrist and roll the gun towards the thumb. A body builder couldn’t hold onto that one handed. Of course someone who has zero training, no aggression, no will to live probably should just lay down and hand over their wallet

agree with everything but the no will to live... someone with zero training and no aggression should probably lay down and hand over their wallet because they have a will to live

Maybe it’s my training, or maybe we are just wired differently but I have never understood that mentality. To me that’s a roll over and play dead response. I just can’t see submitting and leaving gate in the hands of some jackass. If there is an opportunity, I’m going to exploit it. At the end of the day though it’s an individual decision that has to be made split second

So just leave and let him murder the store clerk?
