I can’t believe how brazen this guy is. Watch the video. He’s just walking down the aisle pointing the gun at people and taking their phones. Just another day at the crime office for this robber. He must have taken 4 phones before one victim jumped his ass. Nobody else on that bus even knew anything was going on until the fight broke out.
You don’t have to be alone on a dark street to get mugged. They’re doing it right out in the open now. :rolleyes: Being in a crowd doesn’t offer any protection.
Wow. What a world. They have little signs up on the buses and light rail that caution you being careful with your small electronics. I always though of someone just snatching it and running off of the train (as had happened before), and that they meant keep it down low and close to your body so a potential robber couldn’t do that. This scenario would have never occurred to me.
Concur - it looks as though he turns the robber’s wrist so as to force him to point the gun toward himself. When that happens in the movies, it’s because the hero has special training of some sort.
“Not guilty” doesn’t mean “innocent.” There are, theoretically at least, ways he could not be convicted–the video is excluded from evidence or plain jury nullification, for example. Most likely, though, he’s just going to do a plea deal. An initial ‘not guilty’ is the first step for that.
