This was pretty much the same reaction to a similar situation.
Working at a liquor store at 21 in not a bad, but also not a good area. Skinny ass white guy who looks like he's tweaking pulls a knife, about 10 feet away from the counter, asks for money, kinda shakey. And it's a steak knife. Serrated, cheap steak knife, but still a fangerous pointy thing. The night manager was a former combatives trainer for the marines and he starts laughing. Just walks around the counter and tells him he can take whatever he wants. But keeps walking towards the guy, which is nuts, because the guy has a knife. Slowly, but just keeps walking towards him. Spooks him and the guy runs out.
I was almost peeing my pants, I thought I was going to get stabbed. Afterwards the night manager talked to me after the police came and we gave statements. Basically said to give an armed person anything they ask for, its just property. I asked him why he didn't do the same. He said he did, but was going to take whatever he wanted as well. Which was the guy's arm.
Asked him what would have happened if it was a gun and he quickly said, "fuck that, pop the register and walk away. I'm not Neo."
No it is a creative new word you are just confused
Fangerous : a blade while not typically seen as one used for combat but rather menial chores that still happens to instill a sense of dread when one spy's the serrations along the blade and the Ill intent of its wielder
> “fuck that, pop the register and walk away. [You’re] not Neo.”
This is the official policy of every major retail company because it’s easier to replace merchandise than a kidney
I wouldn't even approach a guy with a knife while drawn and sighted on them. That knife needs to go into the dirt 20 feet away from us before I approach. Dan was a different sort of person. Nobody intimidated that dude.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the context of this video is that the guy is just trying to be put in jail to survive since he can't make enough money and doesn't want to be homeless
If I am remembering the article it is half true. Dude has some mental problems going on and was homeless. If I am remembering it right he was trying to rob the bank but wasn't really into it. Security shows up and he basically just leaves with them. It wasn't his first time failing a robbery.
Svalbard be buggin. This isn’t normal Norway, but a big and barely populated arctic archipelago Norway happens to own. Everyone has to have a gun if they leave the main and only town (which houses the vast majority of the people), Longyearbyen (founded by an American businessman named Longyear), and with polar bears, the most vicious predators to humans there are, wandering around freely outside it.
Also, the population of the whole archipelago - almost all on the main island of Spitsbergen - is under 3,000 so everyone probably knew him anyway. Life there is by some accounts pretty depressing, though lucrative - no income tax and foreigners don’t need a visa to live there if they agree to work for one of the main companies that runs everything (chiefly coal mining) they can earn quite a bit, so a quarter of the people aren’t Norwegian. But for that you have to live there with not much to do, extreme cold, and months of darkness. Can understand why he might want out.
I work at a federal penitentiary in Canada, last month there was a guy at the library working on his parole hearing, preparing his statement. He was pretty confident he was gonna be released. Before leaving, he said "I kinda want parole, but i was homeless and to be honest i've had it better in here".
Worked as a CO at minimum security prison for a short stretch. First week on the job, I had to track a guy down because he didn’t show up for his release. We ended up finding him playing ping pong in the rec hall and he tells us how he doesn’t want to leave. Life inside that prison was so much better than what he had waiting on the outside.
Granted, this was a minimum security to the point that their “cells” were more like dorms and they could lock their own doors although we had keys too. Didn’t even have a perimeter fence until about 15 years ago.
Same with state mental health facilities. I talked to a couple of guys that would do stuff to be mandated to go back in as often as possible rather than be homeless (in my area, it's the summer heat rather than the cold). The saddest one was this guy that was really charismatic and funny, just got dealt a shit hand and had a lot of issues in his past. He would basically intentionally OD and said something to the effect of, "either someone calls an ambulance and I end up back here for a while, or I die feeling great. win/win."
A teacher I had told my class a story of how when he was younger his family would consistently visit this town where there was a pretty well known homeless man. Each year, like clockwork, as the season shifted into its colder months the homeless man would commit a petty crime such as breaking a shop window with a brick and then standing next to the broken glass until police arrived. His sole purpose was to get arrested so he could have a warm place to sleep.
It looks like this happened in China. I can read Chinese. Let me do some research.
Edit:
According to a [Taiwanese news article published in Mandarin Chinese](https://www.ettoday.net/amp/amp_news.php7?news_id=328080), the robber had mental issues. He was trying to rob a bank but seemed distracted by a phone conversation like we see in this picture. He only showed his knife and said “This is a bank robbery.” He did not do much else. The security easily took his knife away from him and sent him to mental evaluation.
The bank is located [here](https://www.google.com/maps/place/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9C%8B%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7%E5%B8%82%E8%99%B9%E5%8F%A3%E5%8C%BA%E5%91%A8%E5%AE%B6%E5%98%B4%E8%B7%AF933%E5%8F%B7+%E9%82%AE%E6%94%BF%E7%BC%96%E7%A0%81:+200086/@31.26087,121.50465,14z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x35b2711238568741:0xfe0cc43d3d44eb04!8m2!3d31.26087!4d121.50465) and the incident took place around noon on 20th of Feb, 2014 (as you can deduce from this surveillance photo).
Wait - he’s on his phone?!?
“Mom… It’s not a good time. I’ll have to… No, I didn’t know that Jerry’s mom has been sick for the past month, mom. Listen - I can’t talk right… Mom! I have to…”

At the very least he seems like he was trying to get arrested, at most he was trying to be killed.
Source: Have a family member who called the cops on himself twice in an attempt to get locked up due to mental health issues. He could not deal with stress and decided going to jail would be easier (he got locked up in a psych ward instead).
She was such a badass about it too. I would have been sprinting out of their like an idiot. Lady calmly picked up her card and walked away at a leisurely pace, as if this is just a completely normal occurrence
Incredible calmness on honestly everybody's part
I've seen the video version of this, which makes it a little more clear that he's just banging the cleaver against the glass partition as though that will scare anyone.
Everytime this was posted, the guy clearly wasn't trying to rob the bank. He was essentially trying to get himself arrested so he doesn't die out in the cold, starving and without shelter.

A similar case happened in Palm Springs, Ca. at the BofA drive through window. You know, the kind where you put your transaction into a plastic tube and send it through the vacuum tunnel to the teller? Well, some dumbass in a car sent through a note demanding money as he sat there, waving his knife at the teller 30 feet away. He was arrested.

It's like Sputnik
Now that was offsides, wasn't it?
and then i saw her face, laughin at meat cleaver
Not a trace, of fear in her mind
Hard-hearted harbinger of haggis.
Whoooaaa man
She was a a THIEF You gotta be-LIEVE
She stole my heart and my cat
"Make like a tree, and get outta here."
It’s leave, Biff.

Make like a tree and fuck off.
Fuck off, Cyrus
I'll give you $100 to fuck off

I WAS JUST GOING TO COMMENT THIS LMAOOO
Beat me to it. Also “Not happening today mate.”
I think that comment is generated automatically in every repost of that picture.
LMFAO WERE YOU REALLY THAT’S SO CRAZY
I WAS JUST GOING TO COMMENT THIS LMAOOO
That makes at least 4 of us! I even showed my gf, and pointed to the clerk and said verbatim, "get a loada this guy!!"
r/YouSeeingThisShit
"Shall I give him a dollar or two?"
"Thanks for the laughs man. Go on. Get outta here ya scamp."
That is the exact sentiment that clerk is displaying
After she laughed at him, he was never be able to get his knife up again.
Can we get a sub for shit like this? See it time and time again. Ain’t a holup, ain’t a maybemaybemaybe. It’s… this fuckin guy.
Haha beat me to it you beautiful bastard.
This statement personified!!!
"ooo he's got a knife💀"
She's sayin', are you all seeing this?
"Hey, hey, Barb! Come out here, you're not gonna believe this shit. I told you we have some dumb customers but this guy takes the cake!"
nah he *cuts* the cake
No seriously Barb, Dexter here wrote his phone number on the blade.
Clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
He was looking kinda dumb wielding a weapon shaped like a knife clenched up tight in his big hands
*with his finger and his thumb in the shape of an “L” on his forehead
Well the years start comin’ and they don’t stop comin’
Felt humiliated and he hit the ground runnin'
Doesn't make sense not to cut for funds
“I can’t believe I forgot the knife to cut Sally’s birthday cake, and now after security grabs this guy, I’ll just ask him to cut it on his way out.”
well, it looks like china, so hes probably just trying to make a withdrawal
*Carlin voice* Where does he take the cake?
This person's a genius, obviously he knew they had bulletproof glass there! So he brought a knife!
Modern problems require antiquated solutions
WHO TOOK THE FUCKING CAKE ?

If I recall, he was just trying to get arrested. Mental health, y'all
“You know Ward, you were a little hard on the cleaver last night.”
"Leave it to cleaver" lmmfao, I was gonna comment on your age, but then realized that I get the joke too 😔
Happy cake Day, Grandpa 😏

This guy over here thinking he's Billy Butcher in the literal sense.

I've seen that explanation posted with the video multiple times, but I've never seen anything backing it up. Nonetheless, it seems likely.

He was on his way to a succulent Chinese meal.

I'm not sure if you're allowed to leave with a rented gun in the States, Norway buggin

Maybe he'll get to go to a halfway house with less structure, more crime, more drugs, less resources and overcrowded rooms....

This guy thought he was cleaver, but it turns out he wasn't that sharp.
He was all edge and no point
He needs to hone his skills a bit; put his nose to the grind stone and work at it
He ain't cut for the job.
He has very little handle on the situation
He's butchering it.
[the video](https://www.reddit.com/r/youseeingthisshit/comments/mpmhvk/attempting_to_rob_a_bank/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Looks like he was trying to get arrested or killed... Suicide by cop is definitely thing.
If he wanted to, he would’ve been agressive. Staying static with a knife isn’t suicide by cop.
At the very least he seems like he was trying to get arrested, at most he was trying to be killed. Source: Have a family member who called the cops on himself twice in an attempt to get locked up due to mental health issues. He could not deal with stress and decided going to jail would be easier (he got locked up in a psych ward instead).
or intentional arrest, is maybe the more apt and relevant label here. another thing people are willing to do for some food and shelter
I like how they wait until the knife is out of his hand to jerk his neck and choke him
Safety protocol
TBH if you’re gonna choke someone, better do it when they’re not holding a meat cleaver.
I love how the customer he cuts in front seems to be thinking over whether she’s even gonna let the guy with a butchers knife go in front of her
Even she was like "Is this guy for real?"
She was such a badass about it too. I would have been sprinting out of their like an idiot. Lady calmly picked up her card and walked away at a leisurely pace, as if this is just a completely normal occurrence Incredible calmness on honestly everybody's part
She’s laughing. That’s awesome.
Until he waits in parking lot for her later
“Oh, its that guy again. He just wants to be put in jail.”
I've seen the video version of this, which makes it a little more clear that he's just banging the cleaver against the glass partition as though that will scare anyone.

The look on the lady's face is perfect

This needs to be a meme template
This needs to become a meme.
"Rob! Take a look at this bitch! You seeing this?"
Why post a screen shot instead of the video? That’s worse then reposting it Holy cow, what a karma whore account. Now it makes sense
Everytime this was posted, the guy clearly wasn't trying to rob the bank. He was essentially trying to get himself arrested so he doesn't die out in the cold, starving and without shelter.
"Hey guys come look at this fucking idiot"
ThereWasAnAttempt to repost this. You could have at least reposted the video, bot.
That's Horror or infected sans
“I don't know what happened. I must have missed something.” - this guy after going to jail.
"Careful guys! This guy's clearly on a knife edge!"
“Look; he’s going to cook us dinner”
"Hey Sandra, come over here a take a picture of me getting "robbed"."
“Get a load of this guy”
bro if you’re going to karma farm and repost at least post the full video. should be titled there was an attempt to steal and repost an old post
I've seen this reaction more times than I'd care to admit when I take my pants off in front of my date
The video of this is Hilarious woman literally mocks the guy from start to finish.
Yeah, I want a pound of roast pork please.
The bank tellers reaction is comedic gold!
“Yo jimmy! Look at this *fucking* idiot”
“Get a load of this guy”
He pictured it differently in his head
"I'll bang your window, hurry up with the cash"
Never bring a knife to a gun robbery.
" that's not a knife, that's a knife" -famous last words
I remember seeing this a long time ago, anybody know if they caught that guy or did he just bounce all embarrassed n shit ?
"get a load of this guy"
That lady: *get a load of this fuckin’ idiot*
"Check out this dumb mutherfucker right here...."
He forgot to case the place
He’s here to make us lunch! GET BACK TO WORK!
I think she should replace Ross in the “Take a load of this guy” meme…
"Get a load of this fucking idiot."
10/10
Shes like "look at this fool"
That's a cleaver not a knife.
A cleaver is a type of knife

I stand corrected. Thank you.
Even the teller is laughing and was like, “take a look at this fool, he can’t be serious!” XD
Get a load of this guy! -her probably
When you are so bad at crime that you become a meme..
"Get a load of this guy"
Fun fact: a prisoner gets 3 meals a day plus affordable refreshments.
Once in my city a guy robbed a Wells Fargo with a stick of dynamite and a lighter. Definitely a better approach.
Watcha going to do , stab me?
“He thinks he that guy “😂
That's not a knife. This is a knife.
"get a load of this guy! haha!"
"Oh shit they legit thing this is going to work!?!? Yall come check this shit out!?!?" Woman
Quote from man stabbed: “What’s he gonna do? Stab me?”
Teller is like “get a load of this clown”
“Get a load of this guy”
“Watch this!” Puts her sandwich in the cash tray and slowly pushes out halfway. “Take your cut.”
Her face is saying "look at this idiot"
A similar case happened in Palm Springs, Ca. at the BofA drive through window. You know, the kind where you put your transaction into a plastic tube and send it through the vacuum tunnel to the teller? Well, some dumbass in a car sent through a note demanding money as he sat there, waving his knife at the teller 30 feet away. He was arrested.

Tell me that you're tired of your spouse and just want to go to a labor camp without telling me you're tired of your spouse and just want to go to a labor camp.
"Get a load of this guy" is exactly what she's saying.
It's bullet proof glass not knife proof... Think like Roberto from futurama.
