Samurai weapon called “sasumata” is a two pronged metal bar to mainly deter knife-wielding criminals or sometimes grumbling customers

Japan is such a polite society, even criminals turn themselves in when their heist fails to save the police time.

Smart owner. He went for the getaway vehicle so they can’t escape.

About time shop owners stand their ground. What a great tool to defend and protect.

Actually that screaming lady did help the situation because her screaming would probably rattled those robbers cause many more people would know that there’s a robbery happening in their neighborhood

Yes that U metal rod is best to fight off sword man. Shopkeeper should have that. Sharpen the tips. It's like a fish spear.

if anyone’s curious as to what he’s holding it’s a “man grabber” police in japan and many asian countries use these to pin people to walls or fight off bladed attackers. they work real great.
