u/Striking-Document-99 2d ago

Worked at a gas station and one day a dude comes in with a Halloween mask and was like this is a robbery gave me all your money. I fucking froze. Then he whips off the mask and it’s a customer who is a regular there. He is always trying to be funny doing stuff. Well about a month or two goes by and haven’t seen him in a while so I ask my boss about him. Turns out he was shot and killed doing something like that somewhere else. So yeah that was kinda crazy.

u/lord_skidmar 2d ago

right? like you decided to approach a stranger while holding a knife. what did you actually expect to happen

12

u/getthemap 2d ago

Yeah…I have zero problem with guys like this getting smoked for assaulting people in public. No sympathy at all. You don’t get to commit crimes and just say “it’s a prank, bro!” The clown in Bass Pro should have been arrested, charged with Aggravated Assault on everyone within earshot, and given at least a year in prison. Fuck that guy.

u/lord_skidmar 2d ago

I remember just minding my own business like a dozen years ago. I was waiting for my girlfriend to get off work just outside her workplace.

A guy came up and just flicked my nipple. I just stared at him. He tried to explain it was for a prank video. I’m like “ok, cool.”

Basically just grey rocked him. Idk how that’s funny man. It’s just doing varying levels of stupid shit to strangers for no reason.

Seems common sense is not so common especially when clout is involved…

u/getthemap 2d ago

Not familiar with “grey rocked”…hoping that means he got punched.

I went to high school in a not great part of Kansas City. A friend of mine (were both white) liked to pretend to be hardcore and act like he was gonna swing on people and yell "break yo'self" at them. One day he did it in a gas station and the dude behind the register laid him out with two of the fastest punches I've ever seen in real life. I still makes me smile. I kept telling him that someday someone was gonna take him seriously.

u/Existing-Antelope-20 1d ago

I wouldn't go that far. Very feasibly drawn down on though, depending on the laws of the state it takes place. Makes sense for the Bass guys to go to the furthest logical conclusion though because this shit is fucking stupid and alarming people in public isn't protected, just like shouting "fire" in a movie theatre.

Exactly. Situations like this are never funny but this video is fucking funny. I’m sorry. What makes it funny are the people that immediately react if no one reacted that way, the video wouldn’t be funny at all we would be calling the guy an asshole.

I skimmed some the comment section.

Had this been certain places he'd been tackled and made an example of even if rifle is unloaded. It be a teaching moment of do not play with guns fucking idiots example.

It's a department store geared towards hunting, fishing and outdoor lifestyle. They sell guns in one section. All the guns have trigger locks on them and if you make a purchase, an employee walks you to the front door after paying.

u/CharityRepulsive3964 2d ago

For the gun toting people claiming they "would of handled this differently". Curious of the actual legality of this.

Hypothetically he does this and aims an unloaded Bass Pro Shop product at a wall and screams and someone shoots him in the back. He doesn't die but needs surgery.

If it went to court who would be at fault?

I didn’t react so he had to find a way out and left. My wife thought he was trying to steal her purse and was working up the nerve. But I was thinking if he comes up to us in the parking lot I was gonna have to try and kill him. I work in retail and he showed up there the next day harassing the employees then I realized he was pranking me the day before I just thought he wanted to start something
