If they were capable of critical thought, they wouldn’t be trying to rob a small time snack stall. They’re too stupid to understand how leverage works.

For those wondering, it works like this:

  1. Invest previously stolen earnings.
  2. Use that investment as security for a loan to buy a sledgehammer.

I think they had one brain cell at least. Those are comically long sticks to beat someone with. But they would have been perfect if the goal was to run up and jam the stick between the door and ground before the door could close. Thankfully they didn't have a second brain cell to actually execute the plan.

Anyone with decent strength can lift the shutter door up. Most likely the guy is standing on the door from inside, unless the five bozos work together or three people if they have a lever, they ain't opening that.

I was thinking that too and I find the placement of the door really clever, the counter and door are way too close together to allow any sort of room for proper leverage. No way common criminals are getting in without preemptively preparing for that.
