Workers Who Stop a Thief with a Knife Are Under Investigation

A man robbing a 7-Eleven for the third time in 24 hours pulled out a knife on two employees who then defended themselves by beating the man.

This is in Stockton, California, where criminals run wild.

The thief came in the first time, pretending he was going to shoot a clerk. He stole some cigarettes and fled.

The second time he came in, he went behind the counter pretending he had a handgun and demanded money. The worker didn’t fork over the money, so the thief stole packs of cigarettes and put them in a garbage bag. Then he left.

The third time he entered to rob the store, he grabbed a trash can and started filling it up with merchandise, brandishing a knife at the worker.

That’s when the two workers took action to defend themselves. They gave him a good beating.

Watch:

Guess who they’re investigating. That’s right! The two workers who defended themselves are under investigation. Most stories leave out the part where the criminal brandished a knife.

  1. “who then defended themselves by beating the man.”
    If I were a prosecutor the perp would be charged with armed robbery. It would be my duty to prosecute with the full weight of the law.

    I would also investigate the man witting wit the stick multiple times. If that was a broom stick it would probably end there., However, if was heavier and did significant damage…

    Defense is one thing, physical aggression to deliberately cause grievous harm is quite a different thing.

    Without more knowledge of the location and the history of the area, one must be careful not to quickly judge.

      • Why do you think the 2nd amendment exists soyboy? Where in the Constitution does it say a law abidding citizen must submit to thugs who share your beliefs?

        • What does the 2nd amendment (which I heartily support? have to do with the issue, or are you suggesting that they should have killed him with a gun?
          Are perceived criminals protected by the 6th amendment?
          Of course Trump haters believe they are not.

      • The Constitution applies against GOVERNMENT AGENTS, not citizens. Citizens wield no government power.
        However, let us be clear: California does have a citizen’s arrest law. Failure to stop resisting is resisting arrest by a citizen, the same as a law enforcement officer. In Florida that is a separate crime when a merchant makes a “stop”, even a stop for theft that proves to be wrong. Resisting the clerk or fleeing is a separate charge, just like police. Not only that even if the clerk was wrong, you can not sue in FL for false arrest by a clerk.

        Had these been officers I guaranty that the perpetrator would have had damage that would take weeks or even months to heal from. Not only that the officers would be IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION BY LAW. POLICE are trained in how to do severe damage without seeming to do so.

        When a citizen practices citizens arrest where allowed by law then the same rules as an officer need to apply. The man was still resisting, struggling and trying to get away.

  2. People love to say they support the police, but the police will always be on the side of government against the people.

    • I understand the point you are trying to make, but you greatly exaggerate when you write “the police will always”… That just builds mistrust in all police officers.
      There are some very good police officers.

      • IF there is ONE bad officer then all the police know he is bad. Therefore they are all bad. Sorry, it is the thin blue LIE that you are perpetrating.

        Of you know anything about prosecution, when two officers are present only ONE makes complete notes. That one will give testimony in smaller trials (like this one). That officer will conflate the charges and activity and make it seem like a misdemeanant was a murderer or attempted to perform a high felony.

        Bottom line, there is a 97% conviction rate nationwide. Mostly because conflated charges are brought and used to “negotiate down” to minor conviction. It is about MONEY, always.

    • Bet you call the Girl Scouts were confronted with a home invader. Now toddle off to your Antifa meeting. I’m sure they will protect you and yours.

      • Boyfriend: sorry you are so bitter! More people will pay attention when you can drop you name calling attack dog mode and after carefully ready speak to the issue under discussion. Was it fair to say that “the police will always”, or would it have been better to say: it seems too often some of the police…?
