They showed this exact clip in my online robbing class as an example of what not to do. Only $69.420 for $9999 worth of content from Udemy!

We all know the tensile strength of that aluminum swiffer is equal to that of an angry 4yo...so that was optimistic of them at least ?♂️?

When they get out, we have the perfect candidates for a remake of Home Alone

I guess it's a fair bet that these two morons will be begging big Bubba not to fuck them up the arse every night for the next 7 -10 yrs. ?

Here's the worst part of the story: "Meanwhile, Torrez called the police five times, but they did not show up."
dmay1210
This is what will happen all over if police defunded.
This was 4 years ago before all the talk of defunding and it still happened. Maybe shoveling more and more money to police isn't the answer

They had them in there for almost 30 mins and the police did not show up? Wtf

For a minute I almost felt sorry for the robbers. Reminds me of Joe pesci and Marv in home alone. Sorry ?

It is perfectly reasonable to feel empathy for bad people. Just don't go doing what they do and you'll be fine. :)
Yup, of course.

adaptableCoconut16
i don't know what to think about this. I'm glad they got caught as they are robbing the store, but imagine how low you have to fall to 1/2
wiseandstupid
NOPE. No sympathy from me. I've been poor, but it never occurred to me to drag others with me (and potentially scar them for life).
Klaaism
Or they simply just dont give a shit about other people and their rights.
even think about robbing the store and actually doing it. they are probably really poor or gave really hard lives. or they could just be 1/3
scumbags ?♂️ but there's always two sides of the medal 3/3
Given humans even more than two sides, more like a tetrahedron. However, robbing anyone, especially with a weapon, is NOT the answer. 1/2
Other people have their own shit to deal with. No need to add "yours" to "theirs". Plenty of support services out there. 2/2

Love that the public took it away too, knowing it wasn't gonna do anything.

Seriously. I’ve bent one of them just mopping.
Exactly!
Well there's your problem. You were mopping when you should've bene Swffin'!
v
Bastoid
Well thunk on the part of the customer though
Is it SUPPOSED to be possible for just anyone to pull down those shutters?
The ones I have operated usually could be locked in both open and closed position with a padlock. Without the padlock,they were free to move
BeckyNosferatu
The ones in the mall I worked at are just like a button you push and it unlocks and just has to be pulled down.
unavailableyourcallcantgothruasdialed
He does it every day same time so manager was like ah man this is Gona be perfect
PianoMan2112
Not a customer; the employee locked the back, ran through the store next door, and locked the front.
drunkpanther
I assumed as much
ItsNotASchoonerItsASailboat
Its def not the same person that pulls the gate down
The manager has a black shirt and the person on the outside has a white shirt.

You’re going to have to explain this joke..I don’t get it
The news story is wrong then; I had trusted it over the comment in the video above.
News these days are too much in a hurry for scoops over other news, so they tend to get the initial facts wrong.
I just assumed the comments in the vid was correct based on the colors of the shirts.

Hasn't Trump bashed that operation?
tsaff
Honest question as english is not my first language .... is thunk really a word?
Heavenissize17socks
I think, he thank, She thunk. English is weird.
9837265498
A thunk is a sibling design pattern to sagas when dealing with async data loads in Redux / React applications so yes and no.
navyjeff
It's a silly play on present/past/past participle conjugation. A common similar verb would be drink/drank/drunk. Correct word is "thought".
Pacaruru
Eh its been used enough by famous enough people that you could get away with using it.
AeonsShadow
thunk is a sound effect as far as i know.
No, I just do it for the lolz. I'll save you the trouble, that's not a word neither. =)
PaladinAstro
Only in the sense that it's the sound a potato gun makes.
uhohstop
it’s kind of a fun goofy way of saying “thought.”
RileaSW
English has no rules. If enough people begin using a word in a particular way, it becomes an actual word.
MotownClown
No, people just say it to be silly
melmboundanddown
It's English, no one really cares as long as they get the gist of it.
TheLonelyStormtrooper
It's a perfectly cromulent word
BigStew83
I thunk so
Abrahamn
It’s a pun on the noise the gate makes when it hits the ground.
... Hm... Yeah! That's what I meant, for sure! =D At least now it is
Thunk you all for your answers!
popitlikesithot
Lol
ChickenSnizort
Informally, yes - better to use "thought". He thought it was a word. Also used as a noise: It landed with a thunk.
I was just toying with words. And I really _really_ resent the fact that I wasn't clever enough to think of the onomatopoetic context myself
Sk8erOz
It is not a commontular word.. no.

It's kind of an informal word created by applying the same grammar rules as 'sink -> sunk'. You can use "thunk" in silly conversation.
Most commonly you'll hear it in the expression "Who'd'a thunk it?" Which is deliberately a grammar clusterbork.
But if you said in a business email "That was what the lawyer thunk." It would appear very out of place.

Chalybos
When I was a kid in Newark, if you called the police they asked if the person was armed. If you said yes, they did not show. 1980 was fun.
WillemHellfire
My thoughts exactly.
Aliubi
Where is it legal to have an exit that locks from outside?
Oblivious123
YOUR HOUSE?
Key outside, handle inside, fire safe.
Jagernot
lol, guess. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/wal-mart-attacked-for-locking-in-overnight-workers-at-its-stores-74288.html
dedpan
Probably a deadbolt with a keyhole on both sides
lowkeylives
Not a public entrance. What workplace doesn't have an employee entrance with a deadbolt?
The ones I've seen don't need a key to open from the inside.
RuffleMyFluffles
Police didn't arrive to an armed robbery, but they were caught later.
Tanhis
I have visited usa twice and the amount of cops everywhere was suprising. Especially in manhattan. But 40 min for armed robbery wtf.
jridley
Sounds about right. Armed robbery, all their work already done for them, 30 minutes and they can't bother showing up.
DunnowForgot
All they had to do was get there and leave the begging robbers out. It doesn't get much simpler than this. But noooo....
LukeLlama
They showed up 40 mins later but by that point they found bolt cutters and got out the back
krissco
25 min later per video
Yea I thought the article said 40 I was wrong

And this is why people should conceal carry, the cops won’t come soon enough and aren’t there to protect you anyway
feanoreldar

cozynester
How is it impossible to unlock the backdoor from the inside? Isn't that a fire safety hazard?
Mithi
One key turn, locked from outside, two key turns locked from both sides.
Satsugaisuru
there was a rear gate too, like the one on the front.
manymadmasks
Would like to know as well. My guess is that they meant barricaded? Maybe someone who knows can clarify.
Millikin
My homedoor have a switch that when flipped and you lock the door from outside the door can't be unlocked from inside without the key.
It essentially blocks the regular lock knob(?) from function and require the key on either inside or outside to unlock.
Sarah1987
In big cities a lot of businesses have gates that you lock from the outside as you’re leaving.
If windows/glass doors are susceptible to being smashed. I worked in the shithole that is downtown San Francisco.
keroko
If it's locked and unlocked with a key, then no.
BusterWinkmeyer
I have a deadbolt on my house like that
phasmafelis
That's still a fire safety hazard.
The idea is to keep the door unlocked when the store is open and people inside, locked when the store is closed.
Rainbow8008
Not exactly. My friend has a child with autism and has locks like this. It’s a bigger hazard having him outside alone.
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
You can do that in a house. You can't do that in commercial property anywhere there are fire codes.
Yupurineutah
The article says that it was a security gate just like on the front.
