After watching the video I wished the chair had a little more heft to it.

He shouldn't have stopped with the one whack with it. Should have kept swinging it till the robber dropped or surrendered.
Should have been a metal folding chair....like pro wrestling.

This is why I prefer a gun.
That's awesome he stabs the robber with the robbers own knife, guess it's true "don't bring a toy gun to a knife fight" [Beer]

Why is no one commenting on the fact that his shirt says, "Bad Mother F@#$er" ??

No one says anything about the employee cleaning the table during the incident? Customer gets involved and co-worker ignores the robbery.
Not My yob Man.

Robber keeps swinging that muzzle around, had it been a real gun somebody could have got killed over maybe $200???
Old fart fucked up big time, if you ask me, he should not have gotten involved.
Bad call.

Cops walk in, they would have just shot the guy. Would have been much more cost effective for the taxpayer.
Wresting indeed. Metal chair beat down was amazing, but the choke attempt (million dollar dream) was even more Pro Wrestling. :D

My wife like the fancy shmantsy coffee drinks, so I go with her and order a "large regular black coffee". About half the time the "barista" asks, "venti"? I repeat "large". I haven't got a smart ass comment back yet, but it will come.

+1 on that.

Yeah? How'd that work out in Ferguson? It started an entire bullshit movement, complete with nationwide protests and riots, based on the "hands up, don't shoot" lie.
I do agree with the sentiment, though.

Pretty sure they only would have fired if the suspect dropped all his weapons, dawned a blond wig, and approached a car door in his skivvies.

Venti? I'd prefer a cup that doesn't leak.
Starbucks doesn't sell coffee. They sell coffee flavored milkshakes at $4-5 a pop.
My drip coffee maker on the counter makes coffee with locally roasted (not over roasted like Charbucks) beans at about $.50/pot.

Well, good guy is facing a lawsuit. That's BS.

The bad guy's mom said the good guy "used excessive force".

Mom sounds like as big a POS as her son.

I found the Optimus Prime mask pretty funny. Kind of completes the whole mommy is sueing for her son BS who was wearing a kids mask to rob the place. Overall like everyone has said, bad call due the gun could have been real and gone off and who cares if Starbucks loses money. I would have turned around and walked right out the door.

The would-be robber, his mother and his attorney should all be taken out behind the chemical sheds and shot.

This kind of stuff really isn't good for our society. If good guys didn't face legal trouble every time they helped, maybe we'd have more good guys stepping up. And if more good guys stepped up and dealt immediate justice to bad guys, I guaran-damn-tee there'd be fewer bad guys.

agreed, needs to be counter suits- since her thug stabbed him in the neck first... bring momma into the lawsuit as a conspirator... since she seems to think what he was doing was legit.
Excessive force? WTF, he did not use enough force if the oxygen thief is still moving... She should be countersued for conspiracy and raising a dumbass.
The suing party should at least have to pay the legal bills of the defendant if they lose. There needs to be skin in the game to avoid some of the stupidity when people sue because they have nothing to lose.

The problem with "loser pays" is that the game becomes even more rigged in favor of the rich.
Lets say your wife is poisoned by Dow Chemicals and you sue them for wrongful death, they'll say "I tell you what, you walk away now and we'll forget all this, but if you don't win you should know that we've tasked a team of a dozen attorneys to this case and each one gets payed a thousand dollars an hour and they'll each have thousands of hours in the case before all is said and done ... do you really want to risk it?"
I'd rather see cases judged by the judge to determine whether they're frivolous or not and if they are then the frivolous plaintiff and their attorney should be fined (and the attorney should face disbarment if the frivolity is too great or he's got too many of these judgements against them).

Sometimes there is. The kid who sued me for $17M wound up learning the hard way about how much a good law firm makes on a case and how easy it is for a good atty to tear you a new one when you lie about what happened and can't keep all your lies straight between written statements, depositions and trial. The first thing the judge did after dismissing the jury was call this kid and all the attys into his chambers to ask how the unemployed 20yoa POS was gonna pay the $480K in legal fees submitted by my lawyer's firm.
And I learned that it's very gratifying to see a young mind learn something valuable about how the legal system works. And I still smile about it and wonder how paying off that judgment is going for him.

I also like stories with a happy ending. [Coffee]

480,000 legal fees?
Wow!
That suit must have been a doozie
