51 and out here committing crimes? Get your life together. He needs at least a minimum of 5 years actually served.

[queenempress]

Glad he's ok..Glad his children still have their dad.

[BulletSpoung]

This man needs to be in prison for years and years.

[KevinBlair_]

Thank you for all of the love everyone. I am certainly lucky and grateful to still be here.

Stone Mountain use to be so nice. I wouldn't be surprised if CFA doesn't rethink employees hours at this location.

[cuprunnethover]

He is too old for that foolishness! Get a job, you are 51 years old! You are too old for that!

[Gn-rkkg]

Everyday the usual suspects what a shame

[dalepxp]

He is probably out on other felonies like this or worse charges before all this.

[JaylenPotts-zsqw]

Just horrible this why DoorDash drivers and other fast food workers need to be careful especially in cities like Albany Ga

[gitchitsconi]

Sorry he went through that but I laughed when he said my thumb went in his eye several times so we had a unspoken agreement 😂 give him a raise

[Tyree]

This man is 51 and robbing people? Gosh way to set example to younger people.
What a shame!

[lashawnJ]

It's really sad to see this place deteriorate. Criminals have taken over, and it's no longer a safe area. I'm relieved that he's okay. 🙏🏾

[In-the-year-]

always and I mean ALWAYS the same people... This country is cursed!

[imhereforitall]

This seems like an old crackhead. Guess he did not play that one too well. Be careful sir opening that store. That looked really intense. Wow.

[PolicallyCorrectFreedom]

Worker: Don't call me a chicken!!!!🎉😂

[barneysievers]

There shouldn't b any breakable glass in stores when hurricane glass can be used that will prevent access; especially useful in preventing smash and grab robberies.

[kflowers]

Lol 🤣🤣🤣 big dummy Williams. Happy the worker is okay.

[LeL-qe]

No more Chick-fil-A for Williams he'll now be getting foot longs while in prison! 😂😂

Slamming the gun into the door and closing the distance was a smart move in this situation, effectively neutralizing the immediate threat. However, the eye gouging could have been more decisive; in such a high-stakes scenario, it's crucial to fully commit to the defense or create an opportunity to escape. Going all in or finding a way to disengage quickly is key to survival in these intense moments. We have some great gun disarming techniques on our channel for those interested. Stay safe.

Give that man up to 2 weeks behind bars, that'll teach him!!!?!
