  1. Dumb and Dumber (and maybe Even More Dumb) Try to Rob a Store!

    “Dramatic CCTV footage shows the moment a machete thug tried to rob a store – before being trapped inside by a have-a-go hero shopkeeper and brave passers-by. The knifeman was caught on camera storming into Taas Express with another armed accomplice in Smethwick, West Mids., on April 18. Shocking video shows him demanding “we’re going to stab you up, give me the f***ing money” while his pal begins helping himself to items from the shelves. However, a quick-thinking staff member leaps around the counter – smashing wine on the floor in a bid to slow down the crooks – and out of the store before pulling the door tightly shut behind. The balaclava-clad offender then proceeds to smash the door windows with his weapon while members of the public also help thwart his escape.”

    It looks like he tries to threaten his own accomplice as a hostage in a bid to get the other guys to let them out?!

    I’m sure whatever punishment he receives will completely reform him and he’ll never be a danger to the public ever again

    I absolutely love watching people ruin their lives over meaningless shit. Don’t manage to rob anything apart from a cake it looked like.

    Hope the shop keeper isn’t too traumatised by this ordeal.
