The dramatic moment a heroic Starbucks customer beat down an armed robber with a chair has been caught on video. Hero Cregg Jerri, 58, and suspect Ryan Michael Florez, 30, were both stabbed in the struggle for the suspect's knife during a stickup at a Starbucks in Fresno, California on Thursday. Police said that Florez fled the scene and later claimed to be a victim of the robbery, but was identified as the robber with the help of surveillance video, according to the Fresno Bee. He was armed with a large knife and replica handgun, according to police. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...ber-armed-knife.html Full Video News Report ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | ||

Cregg Jerri! Way to stand and be counted on! He's the type of "community activist" we need. Silent | |||

I bet the old man drinks his coffee black. | |||

If the customer stops the robbery no one gets fired. | |||

Personal Lessons Learned from the video: 1. Don't go into battle wearing flip-flops. 2. Don't half-ass the initial attack, especially if you have the advantage of surprise. 3. Don't expect help from anybody else in the place. "The Truth, when first uttered, is always considered heresy." | |||

Optimus Prime, give up your life of crime and go back to fighting the Decepticons! I like how that one Starbucks employee is calmly wiping tables down with a smile on her face while the old man gets up to do some work.

Watching that video, the perp held on to the gun for a while. The whole thing could have gone either way for awhile. Good on the guy for taking action but he really should have ended it with the first blow with the chair. | |||

Agreed, and also when the customer had the perp on the floor just randomly punching his back, he really needed to avoid that and basically disable the robber with a hard downward stomping kick to a knee or elbow. This was not a "fight" but a struggle to stop the crime and stay alive. He needed to inflict instant pain, disable and end the threat quickly.

That was a toy gun. That's why the maggot pulled out the knife subsequently,.... and holding both gun and knife with the same hand.  Clearly amateur. Probably a millennial living in his mother's basement. Q | |||

Mr. Jerri wasn't involved until he chose to get involved (and good on him for doing so, at some level). But flip-flops are made for cruising, and just cruising on outta there and being a good witness to the situation was another option available to him. Those tactical flip-flops he was running put him at a disadvantage. He may have been better off barefoot for movement purposes. "The Truth, when first uttered, is always considered heresy." | |||
