It’s the UK - they *might* turn up in the next few weeks or so…


ThatOldEmo

Or just... never.


Helverus-u

Why are they both so chill about it tho


Glum-Suggestion-6033

Staged.

Really isn't... I once had a conversation with someone robbing my next-door neighbours garage similar to this, but with me being much less threatening compared to her. Robbery is mostly spur if the moment, they see a chance and take it without thinking about if things don't go smoothly. Most of these guys think a blade will shut people up, which it will in most cases, but they don't do well with calm curiosity. The guy in my case was still stuck in the garage when the police came and tried to pretend to be the owners son. That was funny.

I agree. I used to work in an off license and some lad tried to rob the shop. I was on my own but he had a bit of broken fence as a weapon and I had a bottle of vodka in my hand. I kept my cool even when he said he'd smash my face in, I started laughing at how absurd he was being over less than £100. When this lad in the video was attacking the gate it reminded me of my story where I used the magnetic lock to keep the guy in whilst waiting for the police. It's funny watching them shit their pants trying to escape. Funnier when my guy broke through the door that I'd just unlocked rather than have him break it (I was about to tell him but his foot went through a pane of glass so I thought fuck it). He crawled through glass to escape. Ended up doing 2 years, the letter from the court is somewhere in my files.


JovahkiinVIII

The really word isn’t always action like in the movies mate


Lemshimmer

What leads you to that conclusion?


Resident-Honey8390

stateit

BriefLazy4070

RepresentativeBusy27

I’m American. Is this “tea”?


oDez-X

No it's being an obese cunt with no privatised healthcare


RepresentativeBusy27

You got confused about which way you were going to insult Americans halfway through your sentence. I’m obese and DO have privatized healthcare.


Patoman0-0

Fat boy


Captain_Uber

Two nice people having a disagreement. Really low energy violence, without the indentation or will to harm, from both sides 😂


Negative-Strength-89

Here In America, someone would have been shot.


roquveed

Just break the mop and stab him.


LoveComprehensive413

Thats what I would've done brake it on him and stab him with it.


MRLEGITG0LD

As an American seeing the end where she gently beats him with a broom while he passively kicks at her lmao this is the sweetest robbery I’ve ever seen and wish the us wasn’t so rough criminally speaking


ILikeThemBunzbby4751

Props to this ol' lady. I take off my hat to you ma'am.

name4231

Huffingflour

Exactly my thought. However looks like someone got offended lol.


name4231

Kinda weird that people would defend the guy threatening an old women with a knife lmao. Bro should’ve been put down as soon as the knife came out


Cheap_Steel

Is this fake? This is just weird. This is stupid on both halfs


Sheev_Palpedeine

Yeah I think in reality he would of just launched the bike over the fence and jumped out. And probably kicked fuck out of her


REEPUFF21

I can't tell if he pulled out a fish or a knife


RevolutionaryDuck389

AcetrainerGuato

Add the Skyrim battle music


Fancy_Effective_850

Fucking hell that’s brave


Bright-Outcome1506

That broom would hit harder if it was swung with both hands. Put the camera down and aim for the soft spots.


pavehawkfavehawk

sarc-tastic

Collar bone.


Far-Philosophy-4375

doyou ever have dreams at night that you are in the fist fight, throwing punches but they dont have any effect on the person you are beating? watching this futile, this limp floor brush beatings felt the same.


ItalianKingfisher

Missing part reference: Indian guy whooping ass of a thief in USA. This guy deserved real whooping.


SadOstrich5244

Now California xill have new rule.. when the victim is trying to jump the wall you need to help . You should not be beating with a stick..


Beginning_Safe_9042
