He isn't wearing a mask he wanted to go to prison!!!

[FactoryFugitive]

That was the most insecure, least confident robbery I've ever seen.

He wasn't trying to rob the store..he was telling the clerk...he carrying the shot gun.. because he in a rough neighborhood... because why would he walk around the store first... instead of running to the cash register and saying...STICK EM UP MF ITS A ROBBERY!!..and the clerk had to get his gun from the backroom 🤦🤔

I’m pretty sure that’s not what happened I’ve seen this story on the news

[luealreadydead]

Biggest mistake was keeping his gun in the back room.... ALWAYS keep it on you! Cuz next time he might not have an advanced warning! Luckily this hit was a moron & decided to run a store with a full size shotgun& no skill🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂🤣😂🤣😭😭💀💀

After reading the comments (aside from the dim witted cxnts) my heart is warmed to see the amount of people who use common sense and are not sheeple of the media! S/o to y’all🙌🏾

“I’m not from around here “ IDGAF - BOOM

[torturedsoul]

possessing a firearm is not against the law and how he is holding it is not in a threatening manner. I do not see this man doing anything wrong.

[donnaandraylawrence]

Right to keep and Bears arms is all I see here Doesn't look like he's Robbing anything

[aprilharris]

Good for the store clerk. Way to be alert...

[seangannon]

Hold on…. So you’re saying an armed citizen stopped a violent crime using his weapon??? Never would have thought that would happen.

[markkulyas]

keeping your firearm in the back of the store is a really dumb idea.

[kevinwillz]

ummmm this definitely doesn't look like a robbery

[staceynorwood]

He said that he was not there to rob the place, just listen how the narrative of this person is trying to make us

[devon]

He's obviously not a seasoned robber.

[chippandenga]

Doesnt look like that was his intention😅

[chrisking]

I always love watching a video when they don't tell us anything

[alexaigner]

He wasn't robbing the store. He just moved there and was carrying the gun everywhere for protection like a dummy

[kevinpringle]

All allegedly, case is still under investigation. The young man’s mother has assured us, he is a good boy and was on his way to church on that particular evening. See, what had happened was he found the gun outside and was merely looking to return it to its rightful owner.

[jeromebrooks-xrmn]

I guess he just don't want his freedom no more. They'll be waiting for him in prison so they can bust some butt cheeks.
