A Robbery Gone... Good?

"Wow..." is about all I have to say about this!

Check it out

"wow" pretty much sums it up for me, too. although it's a shame that outcome had to come from an attempted robbery.

Nice story, great outcome.

Wow, nice outcome!

Say what?! Haha, great outcome but the wanting to become a Muslim bit at the end was a real, "Where the heck did that come from moment?!"

Dude tries to rob store. shop owner pulls gun on him. Perp gets down on his knees crying and prays, saying hes got no job and needs to feed his family. shop owner is sympathetic, gives perp $40 and a loaf of bread. Perp says he also wants to be muslim. shop owner says a prayer with perp. handshake. done.

Am i the only one who thinks this is insane? Seriously, send that guy to jail. No sympathy.

That actually made me slightly sceptical this might be Muslim propaganda but, didn't want to take away from the heartwarming story.

Are you still jaded from the one-winged plane landing?

Kwesi · #12 06-09-2011, 04:19 PM

It most definitely is being used as propaganda (that's actually how I found it) but it was, like you said, a very heartwarming story. I still think the robber should be thrown in jail but maybe he'll change his ways?

Thanks for the video breakdown. It does sound pretty crazy. The next time Im caught in a criminal act Im just going to drop to my knees and yell "I WANNA BE MUSLIM!"

That could backfire on you depending who you're robbing!

MatticusMania · #15 06-09-2011, 04:38 PM

I can always use the alternate line, it'd probably do me better in the US to shout "Jesus told me to!"

6jase5 · #16 06-09-2011, 04:51 PM

Whatever, put the guy in jail. Not even remotely heartwarming to me. I volunteer at several homeless shelters and you can get food for yourself and your family without having to pull a bat on someone.

i pulled a knife off a guy that pulled one on me at an ATM in college and it was amazing how "save me jesus" kept coming out of his mouth right before my size 13 went in.

1000-1 odds this guy robs another store within 30 days. It worked once for him, maybe again.

alec · #17 06-09-2011, 05:48 PM

I hope the store didn't get identified! That storeowner just put a sign up saying "earn $40 - rob me now"

DerHoggz · #18 06-09-2011, 07:46 PM

I would sooner believe he was appeasing the guy with the gun.

Probably the most badass thing ever said on TB.
