This one isn't a rickroll either
The fact he didnāt push or refuse the guy when he led him out of the store makes me think this wasnāt out of desperation as much as him or his friends just playing too much GTA and thinking that holding up a store is a cool thing to do.
If he was doing it out of necessity he likely wouldnāt of taken no for an answer.
Not necessarily true, he probably froze in fear as he realized what he just did. I have a nephew who had some shit going on in his life and he ended up getting taken by police- despite the fact he'd just been throwing rocks at people and trying to run away from home and threatening to kill himself or others he didn't fight the cops at all. The times where video games *do* lead people to do something like this are incredibly rare
Take my upvote for actually creating a rational and concise argument!
All you salty people who canāt take another persons opinion/joke/something that doesnāt relate to you in the slightest look!
This is how you reply to something you donāt agree with *without* starting an argument.
Claiming that video games cause violent actions will always backfire. Itās an old, but unfortunately still common, argument that has been proven wrong (https://rdcu.be/cWcKa). Itās only natural for people to get agitated.
Stop blaming video games for stupid shit like this. I grew up playing those types of games and always knew the difference between gaming and real life.
Using video games as the scapegoat is the best way to shift the attention away from gun control, mental health, or poverty, all of which could be factors that led this kid to do this.
Itās easy to find something to blame! what were your parents doing? They let you play GTA when you were 5? Thatās the problem!!
Parental control!
I didnāt let my kids play resident evil until they were 7, ( they are staying in a nice prison)
Obviously Iām kidding about my kids.
Video games donāt make you do things!!
Or he was set up to do it by a parent or other caretaker. Happens more than you'd think sadly. Glad the kid didn't go through with it, hope they get the help they need
Another sad reality is, when I see adults try it, usually most people in the comments hope for a violent or even deadly repercussion as a response, without even the slightest sentiment regarding what may have lead that person to feel the need to do that.
Threats a threat even if it's a scared child, sad but true this is why restraint and caution is a thing that you have to take into consideration when dealing with ANY armed individual
Are we sure he was attempting to rob the place? It didnāt look like it. The kid put the gun on the counter. Thereās no audio. For all we know the kid asked the guy if he wants to buy a gun. Then the guy could have said show it to me, then said no, escorted him out. Also it could be only a BB gun. Still dangerous because he could be shot by police or someone else if they see it and he doesnāt drop it when ordered to but nevertheless my point that we donāt know for sure whatās really going on here still stands until someone can prove otherwise with more facts about what happened.
This passed my mind too. A scenario is that they know each other and the kid brought the gun to show it off "Hey Uncle, look what I found in my dad's closet!" kind of thing. Anything is plausible, including the first assumption that this was a wholesome reaction to a robbery. I'd love to see a source article
Exactly. What I don't understand is why he let the kid keep the gun? Shouldn't he have taken it from him? I know it's dangerous to attempt but he's close enough to him, can easily overpower him, and it's also dangerous to let a child walk away in possession of a gun.
Without context itās hard to know whatās going on. The way he sets it down maybe he was asking you trade the pistol for something the guy was selling and when the guy saw it he ended the conversation.
Boy: "You fix stuff here?"
Guy behind the counter: "Yes, we repair watches, clocks and stuff. How can I help you?"
Boy: "Can you fix this?" Pulls out the gun.
Guy behind the counter: "Ah, no. Sorry. But let me show you where the gun repair shop is."
Kids was at least a gentleman about it.
Kid: here is my gun. Kindly feel like your life is on the line and give me all the things that sparkle here kind sir.
Him: come here let me talk to your parents real quick
*Gently walks robber out of store* My god.
Unexpectedly wholesome. I was expecting him to smash that kid.
He was just moving him away from the camera.
That makes it more wholesome
That makes me feel better about it.
*Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora in the distance*
Jojo!!!!!!!!!
XDD
š fucked his lil ass up off screen
Right? I figured he'd grab hin and slam him into the ground. No, real good guy
"If ur gonna bodyslam an underaged mfer, don't do it on camera."
Now THAT would be unexpected
Something we can't see can indeed be unexpecting like me being in your drawer

Why would he assault his own kid?
āNow go outside and come back and try it with some feeling this time.ā
And to his parents, i'm sure.
Stuff like this that makes me think that American police can handle crime less violently than they do. A little humanity goes a long way.
Youāre not throwing your life away on my watch kid.
Are we sure that the kid wasnāt just checking to see if the shop did toy gun repair?
Could be, could be
Probably not.
Are we sure it wasn't just a little person?
It seems like the kid just needed someone to escort him home.
Or on my watches š¤£
I see what you did there. Good one!āļø
Nice!
This is perfect, and the fact that upvotes are at 420, even more perfect

For everyone thinking. No, this is not a rickroll.
I wouldn't think that, because there is standing bank robbing there in the URL
Yea, I didn't think it was a Rick roll until they said it wasn't. Then I became suspicious.

Trust me, this one is.
š¤£ no. Teller was my brother. Bank was pissed he didnāt just give him money.

"And beat me out of the sight of the camera in his store." "Did you win?" "š"
Kept saying āI donāt have Time for this kidā
makes you wonder whatās going on in that poor kids life that led him to even try this..
The fact he didnāt push or refuse the guy when he led him out of the store makes me think this wasnāt out of desperation as much as him or his friends just playing too much GTA and thinking that holding up a store is a cool thing to do.

Just think about WWII. How many people killed each other on all sides. So violent. NONE of those mfers had video games.
Books drove them to murder. Books causes murder!

This gets so many upvotes from me!
Playing GTA doesnāt make you want to rob stores wtf
Or he was set up to do it by a parent or other caretaker. Happens more than you'd think sadly. Glad the kid didn't go through with it, hope they get the help they need
Don't agree at all... tried cause he felt it was the answer... but not every one is about that life
This is the dumbest fucking comment ever, and is based purely on a fucking idiot passing off his assumptions as fact
The amount of people thinking that playing video games results in real life behavior. Is crazy, especially for reddit
Could be a gang initiation
if this was a gang initiation, he definitely got killed right after this.
Seriously.. how old even is this kid? He's barely taller than the counter, holy shit.. how on earth did he even get here?
Couldāve been someone else telling them to do this
Another sad reality is, when I see adults try it, usually most people in the comments hope for a violent or even deadly repercussion as a response, without even the slightest sentiment regarding what may have lead that person to feel the need to do that.
Too many not kid related TV shows. But the most sarcastic answer is too much GTA video games.
10 bucks says the store owner is a Father
You mean THE father.
nah, a father
OUR father.
Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day
Our daily bread
The gun probably was obviously fake. Might even know the kids parents or older siblings
You spelt 'Good Father' wrong.
At least he tried
Well...... Yeah
āYou fail all the robberies you donāt attempt.ā -Miguel JordĆ£o
There was an attempt to be taken seriously
Just a kid, and the gun may have been fake. Either way I think the store owner just didnāt want the kid to ruin their life.
You're not that guy pal trust me you're not that guy
I love that meme. š
Bro could NOT give LESS of a fuck wow
What is for sale here?
Looks like watches based on all the clocks on the wall.
What time is it?
It's time to stop! (probably what he said)
Life lessons
Yo!š (Yeah I know)
Second chances.
This is kinda wholesome tbh. In some places that kid would be dead.
Do or do not there is no try...Master Yoda
Counter dude showed restraint, I would have given that kid a smack to the head just out of principal and then probably would have gotten sent to jail.
Man I was afraid I was about to see this guy smash that kids head into the wall immediately
Does Self defense argument work against a literal child
Yes if heās pulled a gun on you lmao
Threats a threat even if it's a scared child, sad but true this is why restraint and caution is a thing that you have to take into consideration when dealing with ANY armed individual
awesome
Get outta here you little scamp. (Ruffles hair)
is this canada?

That's what happens when recruiters ask for a 10 year experience to fresh graduates...
He didn't even take the gun away from the kid. Seems he was forced to do the robbery by an adult.
Are we sure he was attempting to rob the place? It didnāt look like it. The kid put the gun on the counter. Thereās no audio. For all we know the kid asked the guy if he wants to buy a gun.

That kid just got a second chance at lifeā¦
Iām left with to many questionsā¦
I think that dude was trying to do that kid a solid and save him from his life spiraling. Some compassion and a good talk might be what this kid needs
Owner: Itās going to cost you $999. Kid: How about free99? *shows gun*
Are those clocks on the wall because there's like 10 of them
He learned his lesson, next time heāll have the gun out before he goes into the store
āGood good, now letās try again but more aggressive this timeā
wasn't even threatened he was disappointed š
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
Was that a little kid!?!?!! WTF!?
"With all due respect, pls leave the store"
Bless his heart.
Dude was like come with me we're gonna tell your mother about this
Bro walked him off the premises š
Kid didn't even hold the gun right. Both knew they didn't wanna hurt the other. Big guy took mercy on him.
He's like "God damn it Mowgli, Take ur ass home before ur mom kicks both of our asses!"
I thought he was the robber and the kid was an old lady store owner until I read the comments.
Ok, letās go before I call you mother.
Is.. is that a child
He wasnāt that Guy
Is he/she 6
Hard to tell my guess is around 8-14 y.o
Do you think he has an automation set up to turn off the lights when heās not behind the counter?
If āboy byeā was a person.
"You're in the wrong store, son."
Only Canadians are this polite.
that's probably some fake gun because i don't think anybody would be that chill next to someone with a gun no matter the age
"You see that shop over there?"
Alright little feller, let's just head home now, okay? See you next time.
Watched expecting it was a midget but realized it was just some dumb kid.
Looks like the kid is trying to trade it at a pawn shop or something
Holy shit that has to kill your confidence in life never the same after that haha
You can usually tell if someoneās gonna shoot you. Kid was so scared he just slid the gun up the counter barely holding it up.
I canāt have your blood on my hands. No seriously I have a lot of fake velvet hands to show case my watches.
He probably knew the kid.
I said bring me some GUM from home son! Take this shit back home and grab a few Qtips from the bathroom!!
He directed him to heās competition
Kid: I'm robbing you Cashier: no Kid: ok
Who else high as rn ?
Now imagine what a cop would have done. Guy's savage.
just learning the ropes what's the big deal?
He said ābankās over thereā.
Good god was that a child?
Unripened Adult.
He tossed the kid into the oncoming traffic
I hope he took the gun off the kid after escorting him out.
Is that a child?
Guess thatās the normalest day for the fella
Now, where is your Mother?!
HOLY SHIT, that guy is amazing!
Boy: "You fix stuff here?" Guy behind the counter: "Yes, we repair watches, clocks and stuff. How can I help you?" Boy: "Can you fix this?" Pulls out the gun. Guy behind the counter: "Ah, no. Sorry. But let me show you where the gun repair shop is."
What an absolute fucking Gigachadš®āšØš¤£
I really hope that kid is alright. What kind of home life do you have to have to think thatās ok?
When your "100% OFF" coupon is expired.
is that a kid?
This makes me so sad
Desperation getting younger
Kids with guns, kids with guns. Easy does it, easy does it, they got something to say no to.
I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, WAS IT EYE OPINING FOR THE KID? DID THAT MAN SAVE HIS SINNER SOUL?
Bro was like "cmon lets go find your mom"
Guess you can say that robbery would be a wase of time š
Stay in school, kid
"Nah u doing it wrong, lets start over"
Iām assuming it was a toy gun. If not, dude would have taken the gun immediately.
Shoot that little shit. Consequences.
He did his best
Woah, there! Minimum age to rob stores is 14
That is a bit depressing
'Come back when you're 18, son.'
Store keeper: "is that a gun? I'm going to have to ask you to leave." Would be thief: "Oh, well ok then"
He sets it on the table lmao
It was a jockey. His horse was outside.
![gif](giphy|mQq7gea3UDDoI|downsized)
Kids was at least a gentleman about it. Kid: here is my gun. Kindly feel like your life is on the line and give me all the things that sparkle here kind sir. Him: come here let me talk to your parents real quick
Thatās just really sad.
r/kidsarefuckingstupud r/unexpected
Looks like kid was trying to pawn a gun.
Thanks for robbing, let me walk you out.
"Come on kid, next time do like we practiced and pistol whip me a bit"
did you guys hear the story of the cashier that calmly walked an armed robber out of the store
