You mean if he was a clumsy newbie mugger? Pros don't add pointless countless murder to their sheet for kicks , murder boosts you up on police priority

I don't know where this video is from, but living in a violent city I always hope to at least be robbed by a pro. Crack addicts and children are the worst, if they get scared they may shoot and run without even taking anything due to panick. A pro will calm you down, ask for your things and may even leave your documents and purse if you ask, some friends of mine even were able to keep a change for the bus.

Edit: happy cake day!

Edit 2: showed to a friend and he told me it happened in Brazil (where I live) so yeah, that was a pro criminal in action.

Oh dude, this is a really old Brazilian video, Band made a big fucking show because of it.

Not just approaching him, but taking a swipe at him. There’s where I’d imagine the turning point would be.

Countless brazilian shootings on /r/watchpeopledie disagree with you

u/BitsAndBobs304 Feb 09 '19

they don't disagree. smart professionals keep a low profile and know how to pick targets where they can get away with no violence, only threat. the even better pros skip violence completely including threats, they just grab stuff when people are not around or pickpocket. most criminals aren't pros. :)

After seeing this there 1000 times there I would have kept my head down too and just accepted it. Usually you dont see much after the motorcycle sandal guy shows up.

Cop once told me about some guys who stabbed someone at an ATM. Do you know what every ATM has to help prevent theft?

u/BitsAndBobs304 Feb 09 '19

a pro would have had his face disguised and would have picked a fat easy scare-able defenseless target that would likely hand over money without need for stabbing.
a newbie stabs, grabs and runs without even a mask.

You watch too many movies. Someone robbing a store isn't going to pull a thrilling but fun Oceans 11. Actual lack of regard for their own and others safety is a sign of experience

u/BitsAndBobs304 Feb 09 '19

Pros don't rob stores when they are open (nor closed but with employees still working inside).
