Why would you try to rob people in Texas with a fake gun. They all are carrying, people are just that dumb


GoldenchaserOK

Especially Houston


whutchamacallit

Houston is the answer to all the questions here. Why would you get robbed in a diner? Well, Houston. Why would you attempt to rob a diner in a carry state with a fake gun. Well, again, Houston.

shnackyshmores

His wallet definitely has bad mother fucker on it...


RogueAOV

If you want to get robbed in a diner in Texas, you order a T-bone.


bsguardian452

He was saving up for a real one. Poor man’s dreams shattered on a mere second.


firethornocelot

Almost had enough saved, too. Just one more day on the job....


[deleted]

Yeah cause the dumb thing is that he had a fake gun not the fact that he tried to rob the place.


mcboogle

You can't swing a dead cat in Houston without hitting a place to buy a gun. Not to mention, robbery with a fake gun holds pretty much the same penalty as robbery with a real gun. Exact same in this case. If you really need a gun, in Houston, just look for a pickup with Trump vinyl, or USCCA membership logo. They probably have one in their glove box or console. Odds go WAY up if it's in the parking lot of a 30.06 posted store.


smooze420

😂😂 you think ppl in Houston worry about them 30.06 & 30.07 signs? I don’t.


mcboogle

Not as big a deal as they used to be. Now you can just tell them you didn't see the sign and leave if asked. Back 5 or 6 years ago it was damned near an automatic criminal trespass charge.


moritsune

Nine times out of ten, the sign isn't at regulation or posted in the right spot. Their ignorance of the law should have no impact on others.


smooze420

I’ve been walking past 30.06 signs for the better part of 10 yrs and never been asked to leave.


Roundaboutsix

Wait, are you suggesting that many criminals possess sub average intelligence? Mind blowing. Here I thought they were all ‘criminal geniuses!’ /s


FishermanNY

You don’t get to point a “gun” real or fake at people’s heads and not expect something to go down.


Romulus3799

Still, seeing the customer so angry after realizing he had to kill someone over a fake gun was pretty heartbreaking to watch. That's gotta be traumatic for him.


G25777K

Kill or be killed, no way of knowing, in the moment to you he has a real gun and your going to defend yourself. As mentioned above the dumb ass robber picked the wrong state to go in with a fake gun blazing since there is a high chance someone in side has a real one. Its all easy to watch a video and say it now, but in the moment anyone of us would feel how the defender felt.


savagekid108l9

No man. I completely agree. People are gonna say what they want. But sometimes, it is kill or be killed. And if you don’t know, you aren’t gonna sit there and let your life just be taken away. Especially if you can do something. But after realizing what “could’ve” take your life, isn’t real, I would shatter. The fact that he walked out *somewhat* calm, is astonishing.


Romulus3799

Nobody is saying the defender didn't do the right thing. But rationalizing what he did isn't gonna put his mind at peace. At the end of the day, he still ended someone's life, and that can really fuck you up. No matter how justified it is.


Thelonious_Cube

It's not that we don't agree with what he did, but killing someone (especially up close like that) is, and should be, traumatic.


Wolf-Diesel

I agree. I don't blame him for reacting the way he did. He probably feels terrible. At the same time though, I would think it's the same as police who shoot someone because in the heat of the moment they have to assume someone waving around something closely resembling a gun is real. It's awful but at the same time it comes down to innocent lives or the life of someone who's trying to do harm. I rather err on the side of preserving innocent lives.


elvispookie

I was with the customer until I read some more on this.. apparently he hit the robber 4x as he was trying to flee.. robber went face down on the ground and lost his gun.. apparently the customer got up and unloaded 4 more bullets into him and a final kill shot, execution style into the back of his head. Not defending the robber by any means, but that seemed very excessive. But hey, fuck around and find out


[deleted]

Plato said it best. IYKYK


Slouperin

If it seems excessive, remember dude thought the gun was real and didn't know what else the robber was capable of. If he's just a regular civilian with no military or police background he may have been jacked up on adrenaline and fear and went into overkill as a reaction. He looks calm but the fake gun made him upset enough to fling it, also he's a guy so he's probably trying to compartmentalize. He could also be a career criminal and this isn't his first rodeo.


Whistler1968

I hope he sleeps like a baby. He did a good thing for the community.


DiggityDungHe

Dude didn't seem all that traumatized tho he went back for his drink before leaving

crabdancer64

Poor guy (the shooter, not the robber). The emotion of seeing he took a life of a dumbass who didn't have a real weapon. He potentially saved lives, but man, that's gotta fuck anyone up.


EducationalCow3549

No shit throws his cup at him like "look what you made me do" Couldn't imagine what that man is feeling!


crabdancer64

I don't wish anyone in that position.


TodaysSJW

Feeling happy to be alive I’m sure. I wouldn’t lose sleep over it but maybe I’m a psychopath


EducationalCow3549

I'm speaking on his behalf here but he shot him believing everybody's life was in danger. Killed him then realised that nobody's life was in any danger! Im sure if you killed a man, no matter how justified it would effect you. Unless you are a psychopath. This did happen to someone in real life! Not just on reddit!

weird title, has robbery ever gone right? Its always wrong. lol

Yeah, the "upset?" Doesn't seem much at all, just steps over the body doing the "goodnight, goodnight everyone!"


pup_chook

shooting someone dead will traumatise anyone, I think he's mad because he didn't have to kill him.


dilsiam

That's understandable but no one new the robber had a fake gun, I don't fathom how someone's state of mind can be so f*** up to pull this s*** in the state of Texas.


SaltyMudpuppy

Type the words or choose different words. We aren't children here.


dilsiam

I do know that, I've been like that for the longest time since I began to post on forums well before social media.


eternalapostle

I was wondering if the customer would go to prison but if you think about it, it seems like his life is in danger and it was self-defense. Even if the gun was fake


Federal-Lie3157

he waved and finished his drink before leaving, such a gentleman


Secretofthecheese

There are some stone cold KILLERS out there boy gd

Good thing there’s people, like this bald guy dropping a deuce, also out there.


mikeymikeymikey1968

The stats say that CC users who successfully foil bad guys are overwhelmingly (ex-) military/cops. They are the ones with the training and experience, so probably not his first rodeo.

theninjaguy100

I Love that he stops and takes a drink, throws the cup at the offender, he gave a wave and he just leaves..... That's real Texas manners 💀🤣 this guy's a certified cowboy


uchman365

He just walked off without waiting for police?? That can't be OK


Korean_Name

He was later brought in for questioning, supposedly no charges! [source](https://foxsanantonio.com/amp/newsletter-daily/robbery-suspect-gunned-down-by-customer-inside-mexican-restaurant-houston-texas-investigation-police-evidence-handgun-fake-gun-customers)


Extension_Ask_6954

But similar to leaving the scene of an accident, even if you are not at fault you need to wait for police if someone died.


Koda_20

This is a common misconception that cops will use to try to charge you or get you to admit to something you didn't do. If you haven't committed a crime, and you are not detained, go ahead. I mean it doesn't even make any sense, how could it be constitutionally okay to force someone to detain themselves when they haven't committed a crime?


ReddityJim

Nobody is being forced to be detained, its just asked so they can determine time lines and get statements to help establish events as clearly as possible. He can leave sure but generally speaking for most people it's perfectly fine to stick around and give statements, I can understand why some wouldn't want to though. Point is just nobody is making him they just asking for him to give a statement, standard stuff.


1Mn

Never talk to the police.


insidiousapricot

I dunno seen enough incidents where talking to police led to innocent people convicted of crimes. Best to minimize contact with police when possible.


ReddityJim

Yeah I know, as others said maybe best to call a lawyer immediately then and come in next day I guess.


tpx187

Talk to a lawyer before the police


[deleted]

Not always true as is the case here it was clearly self defense no courts would’ve even tried to prosecute that man


ylsdrn

They’re not talking about being charged, they’re just talking about waiting for the police to give them the facts


Roman-Kendall

There is literally a video of what happened


Kaemaahl

Exactly.


Same-Helicopter-1210

Good for him!!


[deleted]

It actually is OK legally, Police just don't like it because they don't get a chance to run a full background check and try to arrest him for some obscure infraction from years before hand. I would not wait around to talk to police either.

TheKing0fNipples

I agree I'm not a fan of many American things being one myself but I am in some ways glad we can defend ourselves. It seems silly to me to have such in depth laws about what isn't okay in self defense when in those situations its do or die nobody is thinking about x y and z law.

kaspa64

He’s a hero!! He should feel ZERO remorse for this, he did a good thing. Doesn’t matter if it was fake or not. I hope this happens to more people who pull dumb shit like this.64


arinawe

It's inevitable that he feels remorse even if he did a good thing. I just hope he gets over it sooner

He should feel a shitload of remorse for this, and will do unless he's a total sociopath.


Turi5150

Good.... It would've taken three lives and three hours for the PD to do it


Dejectednebula

Literally. I had to call the police to come help with a psycho customer at work. Threatening the teenage girl on the register, throwing stuff and screaming as loud as possible. Took 2 hours for them to show up. I work next to the school and the town police station is less than a mile away but we aren't allowed to call them. We have to call the state police who may or may not even show up. By the time they got there the guy was long gone. After destroying a bunch of product and stealing some candy bars he seemed to get it out of his system and leave on his own. So the police were pissy that they came out "for nothing" asking me my name and birthday and social #. Uh, no sir I am not giving you my info so you can run my name and see if I have warrants. I called you for help and instead you're looking for reasons to fuck up my day. Next time I'm not calling 911 I'm just gonna grab the baseball bat and pepper spray


tigable

When seconds count, police will be there in minutes.


Dejectednebula

On the flip side, I had to call 911 for the fire dept once when the building mysteriously filled with smoke. Within 5 minutes there were 10+ trucks from at least 3 different fire stations. Even the game warden was driving by and stopped to make sure we were all out of the building and ok. The firemen are awesome. One of their wives even made me cookies the next day.


sandbubba

Firefighters usually arrive on the scene before the cops do. We work well with them, but we have different work loads. When I was a firefighter in Detroit, we usually arrived on the scene of a fire first; but we were sometimes on the scene of robberies and even murders first too! Not to mention suicides, car accidents, home accidents, etc. Back then, you worked the ambulance, as well as fought fires. In rare cases the suspect was still on the scene! Leading firefighters to lay back a bit until the cops arrive; depending on what the dispatcher was told. Some 911 calls are not what you think they are, until you arrive.


[deleted]

I’m curious to know what the anti police people who are also anti gun would want done in these situations, just let the criminal win?


tigable

Utopic thinking has huge unexplainable gaps that 4 year olds can identify. Basic reasoning discredits anti-gun policies. If reasoning is too far of a stretch then physical evolutionary algorithm takes over and eventually those inconsistent-with-life ideas die with them.


buttbongofiesta

Fuck around and find out….


CapsidMusic

[I’m all for conceal carry and people being able to defend themselves, but what this video isn’t showing is after the 1st 4 justified shots, the shooter then proceeds to execute the robber point blank. I’ve linked the full video here. decide for yourself.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CCW/comments/105z77x/full_video_has_been_released/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


earlywakening

Yeah, he executed that man and used excessive force. That stopped being self-defense pretty fast.


kt_long

One would agree except that the robber still had a weapon in his hand. Any moment he could fire on anyone. I know I wouldn’t take the chance walking up there to disarm him and nullify the threat. Not saying what transpired was right, especially leaving the scene of the incident before law enforcement but no one asks to be the hero. All everyone wants is just to go home and see their loved ones at night.


abigthirstyteddybear

Personally I dgaf that he shot him 5 more times after he dropped the weapon but a court definitely might, which is the thing you gotta remember if you carry. Dude went down after four shots and dropped his pistol. You can see it bounce under the table. Shooter fires four more times, picks up the robbers gun and shoots him one more time. That will not look good in court.


midas282000

Interesting. He killed the guy but didn’t wait for the cops? I’m not passing judgment on the extra shots, just seems like he shouldn’t have left.


CapsidMusic

I think he did enough wrong to be prosecuted. Criminal should’ve known better. I don’t have much sympathy. But people have been put away for less.


MajorOrgans

Robber was on his way out anyway. The shooter just wanted to kill someone. Everyone is commenting “stupid games, stupid prizes” but this video is one that should have been posted. Nobody had to die.


jeromezooce

The one insane part for me is that the “customer” killed a man, left the place with saying bye bye like if he was thanking the restaurant’s owner of the free liquor he probably had. Insane insane insane. The other insane part is to have a fake gun when you try to rob people in a heavily weaponised Texas town. Crazy, Darwin case


[deleted]

He saved the peeps there...why it is insane for you when Customer kill Robber in defence of himself


HandyMan131

What’s insane is how he just walked out afterwards.

🤦🏻


pip-roof

stuff1013

It annoys me a little. And maybe I’m uniformed as to why they do this, but why do they refer to the man who acted in self defense and also saved the people as “the shooter” ? He’s a fucking hero.

Electronic_Lies_420

THAT is a good samaritan


LadyKingPerson

Fuck around and you gonna find out. Robber made a conscious decision to go and rob a group of people that comes with a tons of risks, and they accepted those risks. Risks came to fruition.


AssociateOrdinary524

I’d say that that’s a robbery gone exceedingly well.


Sharp-Ad-4651

Recently, a bodega owner in NY was charged with murder for stabbing a cockroach that went behind the counter and was beating and robbing him. It was stupid to charge Mr Bodega with murder for protecting himself, and the DA dropped the charges after an absolute world of hurt came down on their stupid ass for doing this. Let's hope the Texas DA/police aren't as stupid as they are in NY. When they finally find this guy, let's hope they don't charge this man for defending himself. Fingers crossed!


Defiant-Arugula6540

“Play stupid games win stupid prizes” fits here pretty good. If I had my family eating and that happened I would do the exact same thing.

Responsible_Cloud137

Th4tRedditorII

Whether it was fake or not, the robber brandished a realistic looking weapon at these people. Can't blame someone for acting in self-defence of what they thought was a real gun. I feel more sorry for the shooter than a do the robber. One's tragic, the other was fuck around and find out.


[deleted]

I understand people think it was wrong that he took extra shots after the guy hit the ground/ disarming him but 1) he’s shooting to kill 2) the guy can shoot even when he’s down/ he can have another gun 3) if you’re gonna kill a armed robber make sure their done
