Surveillance cameras have captured the shocking moment a brazen thief shot and robbed a man in broad daylight at a Florida gas station.

The incident occurred on March 30 around 7pm at an Exxon gas station off West Sunrise Boulevard in Lauderhill.

Police say that a driver and a passenger in a black Chevrolet Camaro were circling the gas station looking for their victim. They eventually settled on a man wearing a gold chain who got out of his car and walked inside to pay.

Bling...

1) Be armed.

2) Be aware.

3) Be armed.

I’m curious how the victim was able to afford an $8500 chain and gold plated rims?

Fake...this is Broward county..no crime there. Ask the Amazing Sheriff...

1. Execute the shooter on the spot.

2. Learn a lesson guys, wearing bling will get you robbed.

3. It is Florida — a shall issue state — always carry.

Blame the victim? Idiot. Do you do the same thing to rape victims?

I have Negro Fatigue Syndrome. I don’t care.

‘Without community involvement, it makes our job very, very tough,’ Santiago told 7 News. ‘Even with video, even with witnesses, it’s important that the community gets involved. Contact the Lauderhill Police Department.’

...

The community is a colony of the Democrat party.

I can afford a nice car, but I’m reluctant to buy one. Driving around where I live is fine, but I also travel to the inner city, often have to park on the street, etc...

A friend of mine with a Sarah Palin bumper sticker got his car windows smashed “downtown” and have heard many similar stories.

I stay with my 12 year-old toyota rust bucket, as it isn’t causing me any major problems, repair outlays are low, and it offers good “urban camouflage.”

I hope the white guy didn’t get his BMW scratched by the gas nozzle as he drove off.

A lesson from the 70’s “Flash and Funk will get ya killed”.

[Moonman62]

That’s not blaming the victim. It’s a valid question.

Without white privilege how can a person afford such things?

[wally_bert]

I avoid urban areas as much as possible.

Downtown Columbia isn’t that great but it could be way worse.

In Atlanta 20 years ago when I was there working for a jewelry store that dealt in that sort of bling primarily, I can say that the bling like that pretty positively identifies a man as a drug dealer.

There are two extremes. A victim bears no responsibility for another person choosing to rape/kill/rob them, but -- if you stagger around downtown at 1am, drunk, wearing a tiny dress with your ass and tits hanging out -- you're not responsible for being raped, but is no one allowed to say "what were you thinking putting yourself in such a vulnerable position? Why didn't you take precautions, instead of making yourself the easiest possible target for an animal?" You may have a "right" to do something, but you can't obstinately divorce yourself from the reality of the potential actions of others in our fallen world.

Same thing applies to situations where a person goes around looking rich in an area where you really, really shouldn't stand out.

The guy couldn’t even run away because his pants were sagging to his knees! lol

[clintonh8r]

In what way did he “blame the victim”?

[dinodino]

He asked how the robbery victim could afford his possessions.

[clintonh8r]

Did you see his passenger? He got hizz azz outta dey quick!
