    It’s always someone robbing a store that gets shared. It’s never some guy in a cowboy hat stopping a store for wage theft, which is an order of magnitude or two greater drain on the economy than armed robbery.

    And probably less dangerous too.

      Yo you want the Marlboro man to just show up and settle labor disputes by exceptional gunslinging?

      When I started writing my intent was to mock you but then I realized that that’s exactly what I want.

    Damn. What an incredibly stupid thing to do. Attacking someone pointing a gun at others. That “hero” is dead or responsible for someone else’s death in a different timeline. All for some cash. Unless he somehow knew the gun wasn’t loaded or something.

      This wasn’t his first rodeo. He knows how to wrangle in a criminal. A bleak reminder to all you would be criminals. No where in Tarnation does a gun guarantee victory.

        His ability to “wrangle” the perp took way too long. This should have been much faster in handling such a situation. He’s lucky the perp was bad at using / holding a gun.

        This could have been much worse.

        Maybe that should also be a reminder to all the people carrying guns thinking they’ll be able to defend themselves or others with them.

      Very very nearly got the woman shot in front of the freezer and had to “wrangle” the guy across half the store cause he couldn’t take him down. Old man is extremely lucky that guy dropped the gun and didn’t have a knife in his pocket.

    Ahh I was thinking I needed to see another shooting video like I need another hole in the head. But thankfully, it was genuinely heroic.

    Wait, this isn’t right… aren’t these guys supposed to be struggling and crawling around on the floor from fake injury and pain like they do in the movies??
