Robber Looks To Steal Money From A Convenience Store, Instead Gets A Mountain Of Chili Powder Thrown Directly Into His Face Instead

Independent- A CCTV camera has captured the moment a shopkeeper sent a knife-wielding robber fleeing empty-handed - by throwing chilli powder in his face. The masked thug targeted the A1 Convenience Store, in Kingstanding, Birmingham, just before it closed for the evening on 7 March 2020. CCTV shows the offender, dressed head-to-toe in black with a balaclava covering his face, brandishing a large blade as he appears to demand cash from the manager.

I'm not one to criticize people doing a job that I have never done. But would it have killed this crook to have done a little bit of recon before he decided to stick up this place up, especially since he decided to use an intimate weapon like a goddamn knife? I'm not talking going full Danny Ocean and sending Matt Damon to shadow the clerk so you know every little thing about some random shitty convenience store. Instead, get to know your target. Is the cashier someone feisty or so fed up with their job they will just give you the money without fighting? How many cameras are there in the store? And are there any weapons or a fucking spice rack within arms-length that the clerk can throw an illegal substance into your eyes Mr. Fuji style if he is in danger? Day 1 stuff at Robber School. That asshole deserved the cloud of orange smoke, unbelievable burning sensation that engulfed his face, and the litany symptoms that came afterward that likely had him wishing he had The Rona instead. My buddy once essentially gave himself flu-like symptoms for a week after doing the Cinnamon Challenge in college and I imagine chili powder does a hell of a lot more #DAMAGE to the body than cinnamon.
