I’m glad the robber was white.

It is kind of disappointing that there is no story to tell exactly where this occurred. That would be nice to know.

I thought that was kind of unusual too.

It occurred in TX. This kid is lucky that he didn’t gunned down by the store clerk or another customer. You gotta be insane to rob a store in Texas.

More details.

This took place in a Missouri gas station. The fireman is also a (former) Marine and wrestler, and basically squeezed the stuffing out of the perp, which is why he was so cooperative with the cops.

It is kind of disappointing that there is no story to tell exactly where this occurred. That would be nice to know.

MIDLOTHIAN, TX – A Mansfield firefighter and former Marine took down an armed robber with his bare hands, and it was all caught on camera at a Midlothian gas station. And now, Daniel Gaskey is being hailed as a hero.

The robbery took place June 26 at the Exxon Oasis Food Store on 9th Street in Midlothian, according to Midlothian Police Sgt. Nick Harp.

Security video captured the incident, showing Gaskey standing at the counter getting ready to pay when a white male, wearing a black mask and red and black jacket, enters and shoves him aside. Gaskey, at first, moves back and puts his hand in the air, apparently mistaking the man, identified by police as Dylan Bearden, for an impatient customer

Cop, patting the perp gently on the back seems to be saying “There, there, everything is going to be all right. You're safe now.”

Compare and contrast: in some Northeast city (NYC?) recently, a subway car full of people huddled in fear as a thug literally beat someone to death in front of them. /someone got a link handy?

“You gotta be insane to rob a store in Texas.”

Yes, I know. The video is from the Michael Berry show. His show originates in my hometown which is where I still reside. That is why I was curious. ;-)

On the Washington DC metro subway, a young black.man stabbed a white man to death. Bystanders huddled in fear as the perpetrator stabbed his victim over and over.
