Today’s inspirational story comes to you from Hawaii where a handful of gamers fought back against crooks trying to rob them. Sure it helps that the crooks punch like 11 year old little girls but the gamers did a good job standing up for themselves and, in the end, they nabbed the bad guys.

He goes bananas, flying straight at his would-be thief with a flurry of punches. He even manages to land one. He receives several more (with interest) in return, but his actions help inspire the rest of the cafe's inhabitants, who eventually fight back, stealing the mask of one robber and causing the rest to flee.

I would've done the same thing if someone tried taking something of mine, especially if it was my computer! I would've done a little more though, wrestler at heart...would've made him pass out or broke his arm from a chokehold/arm bar. ;)

'And all 3 suspects were released pending further investigation."

Seriously? The video and the people that saw them isn't enough for a robbery charge to stick?

Robbery? What about assault and battery.
 
What I find stupid about that news video was that the suspects faces were blurred out. WTF.

They were minors. Sure they were thieving, jackass minors, but in today's world I wouldn't be surprised if I heard that the guy who fought back gets in trouble for 'assaulting a minor.'
 
Real life KICK ASS lol


and what is wrong with our system that we RELEASE these assholes? Seriously?

Lol these guy probably thought they were still playing WoW, all they saw was a couple of level 3 Cafe Thiefs and started to attack once the main tank got aggro...

*spits up coffee* seriously. lol
 
Great that they fought back for their gaming territory, but if these thieves were dumb enough to pull weapons, the gamers would've been in a serious situation. Street Justice for scum is always good to see. Seriously, how much money were these scumbags about to get away with. Maybe like $75 tops? Enough to get high and drunk for one night? At the cost of a criminal record and jail time? When they could work 1 day of manual labor and still have the dazed outcome, but atleast they would be contributing to society, instead of festering like a disease.

I say, the removal of a hand is just enough to have them learn their lesson.

You are too soft on them. The gamers who were of legal age to do so should have been able to pull out their guns and shoot the robbers until they were dead.

Dead criminals > One handed gimpy criminals with handicapped parking permits and goverment disability checks

Clearly too much angst. An operation leading to a calmer outlook on life is far more recommended. It's a lesson they will never forget, but will always act out (without any real loss to them, or society, IMO).

Who knew the sad people who go to gaming cafe's actually stood up for themselves.

Maybe they don't...

...until you try to touch their Nintendo DS... :D
 
i thought it was kind of funny. I'd hate to see what happens to some wannabe thugs interrupting a lan party at my house... They would of not gotten away; We are not out of shape like those guys, our clan knows how to fight irl, and one of our regulars is a cop, so.... yeah....
 
Not surprised. They were probably playing murder simulations before the robbers stormed in.
 
Oh I WISH this would have happened in Texas. My brother has his concealed hand gun license; takes it everywhere. Yes, even to the lan hangout.

Screw that. They'd just end up on the government tit. If the robbers were dead, the problem would be solved. Though the stupid family would probably waste everyone's time with stupid lawsuits against the guys who defended themselves. :rolleyes:

Well I wouldn't want anyone I know to have to go through that ordeal but at the same time if this had happened where someone had a concealed carry license then the bad guys would have learned a valuable lesson, and we might even be down a couple of bad guys which would be a good thing.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I do not. *IF* I ever have to defend myself with lethal force I will do so to the best of my ability. That's all I can do. While I prepare for such possibilities (as they do exist) I do not seek them nor crave them.

They got pocket change and lint. They would have gotten away with 75 cents tops lol.

This post is REALLY entertaining. :D
 
That tank definitely was wearing some T3 Gear. Especially that helmet. +80 Punch Defense.

Seriously? They were just getting jumped for money, happens all the time. Murder isn't the solution :rolleyes:

the problem here is... killing them vs beating them into the hospital both get you in trouble...half the time beating the shit out of them gets you in more than shooting them and being done with it (depending on situation).

the system needs fixed first before i can completely agree with you (although on an empathy level i do). I am not in any way an internet tough guy... but if i beat someones ass who does something like the thieves in the OP, they should have no legal right to sue, or charge battery or whatever...they attempted something illegal and they need to accept the potential consequences when they cross that line...

Right, when people go around robbing other people the solution is to do nothing to discourage people from robbing people in the future.

If people assume there is no penalty for robbing a 7/11 then every will just start robbing 7/11s. If on the other hand, 9 out of 10 people who try to rob a 7/11 get a shotgun to the face, 7/11 robberies would go way down.

Why do you think no one tries to rob fort Knoxx? There's a hell of a lot more pay out there than there is a 7/11.
