Holy shit, did the robber die?


kcexactly

No, he is alive. The instagram account for the smoke shop said he lived. The employee also said the robber called his mom after the stabbing to tell her was going to die.


existonfilenerf

Turn up the volume he clearly states, "I'm dead. I'm dead." My guess, he ded.


Velkyn01

Maybe he just heard something mildly funny.


zZaphon

Not necessarily


enonmouse

Yeah didnt see his shoes come off... only way to be sure


Mrjokaswild

Someone needs to update medical science with this important info.


CrawdadMcCray

Yeah but the fact that he’s saying “I’m dead” clearly indicates he isn’t at the time, whether he died later is the question


lessenizer

he wouldn’t be saying “I’m dead” if he wasn’t currently dead, dude


Nightshade_Ranch

He got better.

No, last words would be, “go ahead, shoot me!”

Slamcockington

This just created a pit in my stomach. I've said this twice in my life, knowing for sure I was going to die. Somehow I made it through both times.


ATSOAS87

That was disturbing to hear. Dude's life just slipping away for nothing.


Mrjokaswild

Obviously not nothing, they had vapes in that store as well with a tip jar that had like 5 whole dollars in it. Times is tough.


UnlikeSpike

What the guy did was fucked up but hearing him say that was just saddening, man


dylanr92

I don’t see it as sad. I saw it as now that’s he’s dead he won’t be robbing all those other stores and hurting many other people.


NathanCollier14

Yeah, but where are his shoes?


tchitch

A family member works in the shopping center. I saw a picture of the guy who got stabbed lying on the ground in a puddle of blood talking on his cell phone. He was calling his mom to say goodbye. Medics took him out sitting up and alive.


[deleted]

Robber survived and stabby man is doing an AMA as we speak lmao.


devil_lettuce

Why you not link it?


dusttailed86

It got deleted, link is in one of the other posts. He answered three or four questions and then deleted everything, probably because of his lawyer, but the a a link is archived. Funny his last response is 'lawyer said it was fine'


averagedickdude

The lawyer: It is not fine

Said he survived at the hospital, so he’s not dead yet.

Lol, the article uses Angy Ngo as a source where he attributes the robbers to being in Black Bloc attire (an antifa dog whistle.)...


Soft_Turkeys

Or the comments on twitter. Apparently either all thieves deserve death or a shopkeeper can’t use lethal force if thieves don’t use a gun. Not one reasonable opinion to be found

All thieves deserve death. You had it right from the get go


[deleted]

In the midst of an armed robbery or potentially threatening robbery, yes. If a kid’s shoplifting clothes or even just some food, arrest them…fine, throw them in juvi for the night…they don’t deserve to die And again, any politician who steals deserves the former


Soft_Turkeys

No. They don’t.


Quick1711

Was just in Vegas. Definitely not the same place it was before covid. Lot of homeless people downtown.


hamster12102

Unfortunately the case with most the western cities after/during covid


IAm-The-Lawn

May as well just say every city, above a certain size. COVID did a number all over the country.


No-Satisfaction3455

no lowest unemployment numbers ever, you must be a russian bot /s seriously the country is deeply hurting, and everyone wants to just push on when there is no way that is sustainable.


IAm-The-Lawn

The previous economic model had an expiration date; COL increases were going to eventually make those minimum wage jobs unviable. You’re right, people want to go back to business as usual but it’s just not financially possible for a lot of people. Maybe retirees will start working these jobs on the side?


No-Satisfaction3455

i'm a "retired" veteran and im struggling in which bill to skip or balance in credit cards. idk how people without stable income are meant to survive this. Good thing the 5% raise last year means i'm only negative 10-20% with inflation. people who have never lived impoverished are in for some really rude awakenings, as the gap widens.


IAm-The-Lawn

I’m sorry to hear about your financial struggles, I have friends and family in the same position. I was myself the last few years before I got lucky with a new job. I agree with your take, there are folks who haven’t had to do the belt-tightening before who are in for a humbling life experience. I sincerely hope that things stabilize soon, and I hope against hope that housing markets (including rentals) will even come down a little bit.


No-Satisfaction3455

good luck to you as well. Lentils are still cheap ;)


medici75

lentils pinto beans black beans buy pounds if each…jasmjne rice 20 dollars for 25 pound bag…buy spices and soy sauce and flour so you can make flat bread….1500 calories a day is what u need….people have no idea what is coming….buying tv’s and video games instead of food


CritikillNick

Every city, it’s not a western thing it’s a world thing.


maybe_little_pinch

My friend wants to move to Vegas because she thinks it will be safer than Philly. I asked her if she considered moving to a non-city and she was like "but the suburbs are boring" and I was like well maybe, but didn't you have a drunk guy shit on your front stoop a week ago? Maybe you want boring.


--GrinAndBearIt--

> "but the suburbs are boring" THATS LITERALLY THE POINT BORING = NOT GETTING SHOT OR STABBED


geraldgreen

I think as long as you dony t live on or near the strip then vegas is nice place to live. I’ve lived here since 2004 and I love it. But I live in henderson green valley ranch area with is a pretty nice and safe area


mistakemaker3000

Lmao, few things here. Homeless have always been downtown in droves. Rent in Vegas has skyrocketed and evictions have been enabled.


poobly

That’s how it was when I visited before covid


GreyLordQueekual

Always had the homeless problem, they just don't corral them as tight anymore.

[deleted]

Business owners know the police and courts don't do anything about robbery, so they're just handling the robberies themselves. The store owners and employees have done a damn good job recently.


Stjeansurvivor

They shouldn't have to but it's good that they are.


arabmoney1

Between that attempted-robber getting his arm nearly blown off by that 80 year old store owner with a shotgun, the guy getting stabbed to death by the bodega owner, and this guy... maybe criminals should start thinking twice before they try it. Even if they live in an area with pro-crime DAs, seems store owners are fed up and not hesitating to defend themselves.


FrigDancingWithBarb

I haven't seen the other two


arabmoney1

https://nypost.com/2022/07/12/video-compilation-shows-events-that-led-to-deadly-nyc-bodega-stabbing/ and https://news.yahoo.com/video/video-shows-norco-liquor-store-015035596.html


Unikatze

Holy crap. He's been charged with murder. Will be interesting to see the trial outcome.


JeffWingrsDumbGayDad

IIRC the charges for NYC bodega owner were dropped. The dead guy's girlfriend still hasn't been charged for some bizarre reason.


takimbe

we know exactly why she wasnt charged. NYC's DA is progressive and soft on crime.


[deleted]

Haha, because crime rates and corruption always go down during Republican administrations 😝😝😝


takimbe

straight to the partisan blaming huh? lol. Its not the democrat or republican administration, it falls on the local DAs, some of which are progressive to the point of ineffectiveness, and not necessarily supported by either party.


[deleted]

Haha, you’re the one who blamed being progressive. “But you’re being partisan!” 🤣


challenger_RT_

Good they were dropped. I got arrested for some BS similar to this in 2021. It was pure self defense (have to love California/LA) Charges dropped $18k later on laywers and bail. People shouldn't have to spend an absurd amount of cash to prove theyre innocent. It's obvious this was self defense. If the dude fell and he kept stabbing him while laying on the floor that's different. He was still fighting him after the first stab.


arabmoney1

The bodega owner? Yeah, it was ridiculous but charges were dropped. That DA is a lunatic and should be behind bars.


Unikatze

Good to hear the charges were dropped. I imagine you have to make an arrest regardless and sort it out afterwards.


takimbe

When the City council and mayor all come out saying it was clear self defense, I think the DA just has to realize hes wrong, take the L, and drop the charge. The NYC DA is one of those progressive justice DAs, like the one in SF that just got canned by the people there. Even if he had moved forward, no grand jury would vote to take it to trial.

Of course it’s liberal DA’s every fucking time, and liberal cops not doing their job and liberal teachers for not teaching them right and liberal parents and liberal and liberal…


lordm1ke

In Chicago the cops arrest these criminals multiple times, but they get no bail and are out on the street committing violent crimes again the next day. If you are caught committing a violent crime (anything with a firearm especially) you should not be getting no bail or low bail.


[deleted]

because the cops don't know how to properly police anymore. the drug war put an end to meaningful police in this country


Smileyrielly12

Problems happen in all types of communities. It's not black and like that, liberal or conservative.


takimbe

The cops definitely are not liberal. They are more in the thinking of 'even if I arrest this guy, the progressive DA will just let him out the next day, why even bother?' Its not even liberal DAs. The more apt term is 'progressive.' whatever you want to call them, its clear their shit isn't working. SF, arguably the MOST liberal city in the nation, just recalled their City DA. If thats not a sign that their policies arent working in practice, I dont know what is.

This being blamed on “liberal DA’s” is hilarious


Ray_Mang

I’m left leaning but ultra liberal DA’s are really ruining some places in the US with their lack of criminal prosecution


knave-arrant

Because shoving people In prison isn’t fixing the problem. I’m not siding with the people in this particular instance, but you can throw all the prostitutes in LA in jail but they’re just going to go right back to doing it. There are some “crimes” where the criminal is also the victim. We are where we are because ultra conservatives ran this sphere of our country for so long they effectively gave people no way out of their shitty places in life.


slamdunk23

[deleted]

This is Las Vegas. It’s like walking into a Michelin restaurant talking about Wendy’s.


asheronsvassal

That’s a pretty overtly simplification of the boudin situation. You’re forgetting to mention that cops basically boycotted arresting people when he announced he wouldn’t accept testimony from cops who lie on police reports as evidence. SFPD are a special flavor of useless, and my roommate is a SFPD officer who openly brags about how useless he can be without any repercussions.


Ok_Fly_9390

DA's, pretty much only prosecute small crimes. You know, 16 years for an ounce of weed? The police aren't going to investigate the real crimes that might get them hurt.


--GrinAndBearIt--

.................and the theft is caused by decades of stagnent wages, rising cost of living, and the erosion of community. Hmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder who caused that? Probably the poors. Definitely not the people who are actually in power, so keep blaming the destitute.


kcexactly

It is only a matter of time before small time criminals graduate to more serious crimes. We need bail reform to fix the bail reform. Every day you hear about some thug out on bail killing someone. Signature bonds for violent crime is destroying our community.

Cigars can Yun upwards of $20 each. I'm sure there are more expensive cigars


Salty_tryhard

Not that its relevant, but this isnt a premium cigar store. Looks like a head shop with some vape products and paraphernalia, they may have some cheaper cigars too.


14sierra

Also you rarely get store prices for stolen goods


Stop_Drop_Scroll

I’m not sure it’s that kind of smoke shop lol the term has certainly changed in the last 15ish years. It’s most likely a vape/bong/backwoods type place. They probably do have some real cigars there, but they went behind the counter which to me looks like single use vapes and rollies.

Unfortunately this article is from a 'I like to piss off Liberals because I don't have any self-identity whatsoever' website, so naturally you're going to get chuds in the comments who unironically think a District Attorney can be 'pro-crime'. Good on the employee for defending themselves and their store, though.

Lief1s600d

[deleted]

I mean, just look at the website that posted this article. It's right-wing trash. I'm full left, but I support that worker's right to defend himself. It is not on the victim to show self control when they are uncertain how the criminals will behave. You never know if someone robbing you will harm you or just take your stuff. I will always support self defense.

rowrin

2018 we had a similar incident in Las Vegas. 4 teens in hoodies rushed a smoke shop and starting grabbing stuff. One started making their way behind the counter when the owner at the far side of the counter started shooting. Whole thing lasted like 3-4 seconds. Owner still got charged and sentenced for murder because the kid flinched and turned away at the sight of the owner with a gun just before the shots were fired. Prosecution basically argued after hours of being able to replay the security camera, that at the time the kid was shot, he was facing away from the store owner and thus the store owner should have known he was not in any danger. It's pretty insane. The victim had literal fractions of a second to process a handful of masked shapes rushing his store to determine his level of danger while the criminal has the backing of the law when the same few seconds can be replayed for hours in a courtroom. It's like the ultimate game of red-light, green-light weighed in criminals' favor. The same DA that charged that smoke shop owner is still in office. Though he's up for re-election this year and with crime being the way it is and how fed up people are with the rampant shop lifting on the Strip at night he might opt to not stir shit up with this incident purely for political reasons.

SwampShooterSeabass

Hi there! You must be new to this world. This has happened REPEATEDLY. There’s been countless incidents where store owners, security, cashiers attempt fight back and recover merchandise or detain the individuals as allowed by law but then not only do the employees get punished or arrested, the criminal that was injured in the process then sues the victim business and wins thousands or millions of dollars. This has only inspired people to commit crimes knowing that either they come out successful by actually stealing or they come out successful by suing the place after getting caught for some sort of injury. This also has made stores more hands off and avoid stopping thefts out of a risk of a lawsuit even if the law gives them the right to do so

I have absolutely zero qualms with anyone getting violent on thieves like this. Feels entirely justified.


Thatguywiththepipes

Yup. People will say "is whatever he's trying to steal worth more than a human life?!?!" Well, apparently to the robber it was more valuable than his 👀


xray-ndjinn

The robber said “I’m sorry” just after he got stabbed in the back of the neck.


rowrin

No he was calling for his friend who bailed on him, "Help n****, he's got me!"


greenprotein

That last stab to the neck was perfection


eastsideempire

Nice job! Love the thief saying “I’m dead” as he’s getting stabbed. Wonder if his injuries were worth it for the chance of stealing a few $$ of cigarettes. Frankly I don’t think the thief is even worth 1 cigarette. Glad the cashier wasn’t harmed.


greenprotein

The stabs was very satisfying to watch. Good arm workout

Dear God did the article seriously use Andy Ngo as a source of....anything? He called the robbers "black bloc" because he's got nothing of value to offer. Please do better.

What's black bloc?


belowmyinfluence

black bloc is a tactic used by protesters who wear black clothing, ski masks, scarves, sunglasses, motorcycle helmets with padding or other face-concealing and face-protecting items - wikipedia It's literally how the dude was dressed. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about


KeithWorks

Antifa. Everything bad is Antifa. Andy Ngo is a well known grifter and liar.


FuzzyWanderer1

Click the link and (re)read what Ngo posted. He said "dressed in black bloc" meaning dressed in all black clothes with no distinctive markings... which "Black Bloc" (and Antifa, BLM, street thugs, criminals, just about anyone avoiding identification) undeniably does.

milkcowcafe

Do you have a source for the LA thing?


radatamata

I hate when people say that there is "no threat" shown by the 2 kids in this video just because it happened already and we see it on video. The store owner clearly did not know if they were armed, or will attack if he started to defend his store. Literally anything could have happened there during the present day, and the owner did not take his chances. In another timeline, the owner threw a punch at the kid stealing his property and the owner was the one who gets stabbed and possibly killed just because how these people are saying "there was no threat". In another another timeline, the 3rd kid, who was not seen until the end of the video, runs in and starts shooting at the owner who was trying to defend his property with his hands only.


deltazero9

Why do articles say three robbers. I see only two.


gwdope

This might blow your mind, but the other one was probably out of view of the camera!


deltazero9

Well only two ran out so by out of camera you mean outside of the store....


FroggyNight

Watch the door after the first robber dips out. You’ll see another one go from left to right after him.


legion_XXX

Those were very deliberate stabs in very vulnerable locations on the body. Look how he went limp, dude stabbed him at the base of his neck and likely paralyzed him instantly. This is absolutely brutal.
