An emboldened crook pushed his luck too far when his brazen thievery resulted in a well-deserved beating by workers that was caught on video which has since gone viral.
The incident went down at a 7-Eleven convenience store where a bystander recorded the attempted ripoff as it was taking place with a masked man seen loading up a wheeled trashcan with tobacco products as he is shouted at by employees, one who asks “Hey, why are you stealing everything?”
As the thief responds with a threat to “pull my strap on your b**** ass,” another voice is heard saying, “there’s nothing you can do” and to wait for the police.
The cigarette thief is then confronted by a man who intervenes by grabbing him and wrestling him to the floor as a second employee who is wearing a Sikh turban charges into the scene with a large wooden stick and proceeds to rain blows down upon the hapless perp who suddenly realized that he picked the wrong convenience store.
Sikh grocery store owner was told that “there ain’t nothing you can do” repeatedly and that “ayy, just let him go” as they were being robbed. The Sikhs disagreed. pic.twitter.com/ZIb5CVLMNl

The worker in the turban brings the stick down nearly two dozen times as the would-be thief screams in pain as his punishment is delivered.
“That’s called whoopin’ your a***,” the customer recording the video said.
The exact location of the 7-Eleven or time of the beatdown isn’t clear but it has been reported to have been in Stockton, California, a city in the northern part of the state close to San Francisco and Sacramento.
Twitter/X users cheered the reaction to the thievery, the latest example of citizens who are sick of crime taking matters into their own hands.
This is what we do to criminals in most parts of the world. Soft, stupid, woke liberal policies have made America dangerous for law-abiding citizens.

He’s stealing all of the cigarettes because he is hungry. LOL

I’ve watched this so many times trying to determine a very important aspect:
Did my man knock actual turds out of the dude? Is that what rolls out on the floor? Did he…quite literally beat the sh*t out of someone? https://t.co/aSBlq1XFk6

Felt at peace after watching the video. Salute to the hard working people.

If only more people did this maybe theft would slow down!

How long until the grocery store owners get charged and the robber goes free?

While the incident had a happy ending, many more do not as large areas of the nation have been plagued by crime, particularly those that are under Democrat control where thugs understand that the police have been handcuffed by left-wing politicians that coddle criminals and are hostile to law enforcement.
