What others are saying
Shoulda winged the sucker
Should have winged his damn ass. He's on a path to soon upgrade from the Louisville slugger to serious deadly hardware.
What was that gun?
Uhm. Hate to say it but that looked like a Hipoint carbine, not a shotgun. Might not seem like a difference, but hey.
Definately gives new meaning to the term moonbat
Bat vs Gun?
What was the point in pulling a gun on this theif, if the clerk ends up giving the criminal money any way? He should have held him at gun point until the cops arrived. He'll just rob somebody else, again.
I think this is a hoax
A twofer hoax: boost your store and owner image and promote islam.
Seen too many staged crimes/racist incidents/discrimination complaints to not know one when I see one.
ENABLER
Baseball bat robber
If given the chance that thief would have beat that clerk to death with that bat without remorse. I doubt there would have been any mercy on the robber's part. Just pure hate.
Good idea not to shoot
Actually, it was quite smart not to shoot. The local police dept or Sherriff's dept would have shook the store owner down for money. First, they'd confiscate the gun and make him pay to get it back. Then, they'd charge him with some misdemeanor and make him pay court costs and fines to get out of it.
It's sad this happens to gun owners, but sometimes the criminals have more rights. Deterring a potential attack is the best thing a gun could be used for
Converting with the maker
Should have sent him to see The Big Boss
And this is why
You don't bring a bat to a gunfight.
Saving the taxpayers some money
Hopefully we have figured out a tax free solution to reform. If the perpetrator tries again, then he should be shot. {I would have had no objections to him being shot, but in this guys state, that could have been a problem because of balance of power rules}. Owner was smart, less lawyers this way.
Defintely a hi-point 9mm carbine
Too bad he didn't squeeze the trigger.
Call your Congressman!
and demand more bat control laws!!!
Sad ending
Who knows if the thief will be back, but he'll tell his buddies how he made $40 dollars. When I worked at a county jail, I witnessed a lot of inmates (especially repeat offenders) declare themselves to be in God's hands, even though their recidivism had nothing to do with religion. They wanted to do anything but take responsibility for their actions. Same thing with the thug in the video who should have gotten a felony for attempted robbery with a weapon.
deterrent
You almost never hear about these time where a gun acts as a deterrent.
Good on this owner defending himself.
I guess there's hope for the punk to become a decent man yet.
Praying is about all you can do when you're staring down the buisiness end of a 12 guage held by someone you just threatened with a deadly weapon to rob. I hope he felt the Hand of God there that day and heeds it, and I hope he is blessed for doing so. First he needs to pay his debt to society and the man that spared his life.
right personality type
This thug instantly goes from being ready to beat a guy's brain in with a bat to praying on his knees .... perfect candidate for conversion to Islam.
rats.....
I thought we were going to see something really entertaining... like brains all over the Twinkie display rack. Try to do better next time.
hipoint
it looks a HiPoint 995 9mm.
HiPoint
Actually I believe that the gun is a HiPoint Carbine
Then he gives him money?
Talk about "sanction of the victim"!
You gotta be kiddin'
Had I been that clerk, that (dumbass) thug would be held at gunpoint till the cops arrived....dead or alive.
Just wait until the Statists get to their ultimate dream of Disarming the Law-abiding.
Then the criminals and the government can rob them at will.
Convert
If this is the same incident I read about in the news, you're forgetting the part where the store clerk converted the robber to Islam.
So the next time he enters a convenience store it will be with a bomb instead of a bat.
Larry
Damn Larry, I thought I was hard core.LOL.
Shotgun
I think that is an inexpensive and common 9mm carbine. Still, interesting video. I doubt the guy gets to the mosque.
