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.Quote:

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]
Old dude needs some anger management classes!

Why is no one commenting on the fact that his shirt says, "Bad Mother F@#$er" ??
also, that weirdo gets a beat down by a guy wearing flip flops. classic!
That's pretty nuts, I certainly don't care about starbucks enough to do something like that.
Good Law Abiding Citzens are pissed off. I'm sure that dudes not a chi frapachino drinkerQuote:

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.Quote:

Well, good guy is facing a lawsuit. That's BS.
https://www.circa.com/story/2017/09/...itting-a-crime
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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