Man tries robbing clerk trained in martial arts ... it doesn't go well

Choke holds are citizen brutality!

[Eleutheria5]

Good for him.

[ClearCase_guy]

Choke holds are racist.

[bankwalker]

He needs to add a striking art to his arsenal.

[9YearLurker]

Not really. He reportedly now claims he would have simply handed over the cash if the robber had just asked.

[BradyLS]

He was rude. He deserved everything he got. Now, if he’d been polite and asked nicely...

[Tallguy]

All fine & dandy until the perp is armed. Glad it worked out though!

[KeyLargo]

So choke hold OK for civilians but not police officers?

[G Larry]

Happy ending, but I’ll stick w CCW.

reminds me of this:

Dude got THUMPED!

[lowbridge]

The guy was trying to rob the place without the use of a weapon. Therefore it was a peaceful robbery. Why was the clerk bringing violence to a peaceful robbery?

[metmom]

Nice.

[AlaskaErik]

Why would any clerk count his till on the counter where customers place the items they are buying? That, in and of itself, was a dumb move.

[Eleutheria5]

In case some polite robber should come along and say, “Hello, may I please have all your money?” and then he’d gladly give it to him and say, “Thank you. Come again.”

[kickstart]

In a just world, he would have been able to maintain the chokehold until the scum was dead.

She’s beautiful! I normally prefer women who carry a gun, because they can relax and not worry about thugs. She’ll do just fine with or without a firearm.

[Feckless]

Baby Mama: Why did that Racist main have to choke my baby? He spoda just gibs him de money. He’s a good boy, tryin’ turn his life ‘roun’. Him Dindu Nuffins...

[Polynikes]

It worked out just fine. Remember it was on video. Grappling arts work just fine for controlling some one you don't really want to kill. MMA striking & kicking while effective don't translate well in front of a jury.

Take a MMA match and put street clothes on the participants. What you see if you watch 30s is “fighting”. Its illegal for civilians and a job loosing excessive force charge if you are a security professional.

If the dirt bag gets a bottom feeder lawyer he can make life miserable for you. That's just the way it is these days.

[Polynikes]

LEO’s are governed by different ROE as defined by their departments. If the out come is death its still a possible manslaughter charge for a civilian.

"Why would any clerk count his till on the counter where customers place the items they are buying? That, in and of itself, was a dumb move.

Yeah, and what an idiot for not locking the door 1st. NEVER cash out until the door is LOCKED!

[ThomasMore]

Maybe they should advertise... All you can steal... take-out!
