Dramatic First-Person Video Of Attempted Gunpoint Robbery Courtesy Of GoPro

Tyler Durden's picture




 

What happens when a camera on a stick captures an Argentinian gun-yielding thug on a bike? This.

As Digg reports, traveler Alexander Hennessy was riding a bike through a rough neighborhood in Buenos Aires when he was held up at gunpoint. Watch as Hennessy gets away unharmed, and with an amazing video.

skip: "This video from Brazil shows a 13 year old white girl being attacked because she was the only child in the school who was "blonde" meaning "white". This happens daily in America's schools as well. NO matter what living creature in nature, they ALL defend their children, but not the mainstream whites of USA, Brazil, England, see the Rotherham scandal. Yet, despite the violence against white children you don't see white parents doing ANYTHING about it. And now something ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, et al will never show you: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ea3_1410435260 Girl was beaten for being blonde"

 

I'll see you that and raise you one.  How about a light skinned black girl beaten up by other black girls (with darker skin) because she's acting too white.  Good old USA.  

 

"A 16-year-old high school girl in Rock Hill, S.C. told police that another high school girl taunted her on a school bus and then beat her up after she got off the bus. The assailant allegedly was angry at the victim because she was behaving “too much like a white person.”

"In an interview with police, the victim claimed that there has been an ongoing feud between the two girls for over a year. The victim described herself as a “light-skinned black female,” according to The State. She said the other student, who has darker skin, had made fun of her and challenged her to a fight on prior occasions, but she had refused.

The victim said she had again refused to fight her alleged bully on Thursday but then got beat up, anyway.

Hemphill noted that the school bus bully taunted the girl all last year as well."

Can't make this shit up....and of course Blacks can not be racist.

There are 350,000,000 human beans (or a semblance of them) in the contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico that comprise America. 

In that number there are at least a hundred million ANECDOTES of just about every atrocity you can possibly imagine, and therefore, signifying nothing, no trend, no pandemic, and no reason to make judgments.

Anything can and will happen and so the fuck what?

The news of Exceptionalism has so distorted the narrative that it is almost impossible for sanity to reign.

When confronted by a thief with a gun demanding your backpack, always refuse.  Most thieves won't shoot you.  Or maybe they will.  So either you keep your cheap shit or bad guy (maybe goes to prison for 15 years).  Either way you win!

 

Great strategy.

 

Idiot.

Yeah, the hand lotion and "Dreams of My Father" signed Obama copy were worth dying for.

Next time might want to pack a little something extra in your backpack. Something that could be triggered.

Next time just keep something undesireable in that backpack! Then let him have it.

Alternate Video Title: Pack of Hipster Douches on Rental Bicycles Learn About Real Life

 

Seriously, if you're going to go on a cycling tour of a 3rd World country, learn more of their language than just "amigo"...

 

Also - "Serpentine, Sheldon!" .... running straight away from a guy with a gun is not optimal.

The point of attack is the gun. There was no barrier between the cyclist and that gun.

 

The gun is the threat. (If it has not been used it is only a threat.)  Neutralize the threat.

 

You run TOWARD the gun, take it away, and cap that bastard dead. Empty the entire clip.

 

(You can also swing that backpack as a weapon. The shock will paralyze him for a second or two. At that point you have the advantage. Exploit that advantage.)

Well, of course, if you're of a mindset that you should attack the attacker. The only thing this guy has attacked recently is his own supressed misognystic tendencies (followed by a good cry). I was merely pointing out that if you DO feel the need to run, serpentine is the best option. :)

The American ponce went from crying like a little girl to giggling like a little girl, all in under two minutes. That has to be some sort of ponce world record.

Oh, yes, because crime only happens in Argentina, right? What's the point of this article? Keep on trashing ZH's reporting level? You did well then.

Listen. You don't get it! Go "LONG" goPro, spacemonkey!

They do not give investment advice as that would be folly. You must read between the lines. And do not ask "WHAT's IN THE BASKET, Tyler! WHAT's IN THE BASKET"!

Listen. Let me make myself clear.

His baseline basket. "STOCKS" and such. That basket.

Insecurity is just a "sensation" and this was all acted by Magentto's imps, right?

I guess if I ever go to Argentina, I won't rent the same bike with a little black basket in front that every other naive tourist target is renting.

Fergusson was more gunpoint than that.

If that'd been in America, the police would've confiscated the camera and shot their dog. Just sayin'

This wasn't a "rough" neighborhood. It's "La Boca", one of the most visited tourist attractions. Robberies tend to be big on tourists though.

"Sacate la mochila",  is just  "Give me your backpack", that was too stupid, risking your life for a backpack.  Fortunatelly the guy has a gun, with a knife, he would have an additional scar all around the face.

When seconds count, Brazillian cops are just minutes away (by bike, apparently).

Armed robberies happen every day on camera. Just FOIA the video from any local court house.

Charge his ass as soon as he puts the gun back in his front pocket.  Press his face into the bike's muffler, poke his eyes out, whatever you've got to do.  Could have slammed him into the wrought iron fence too when the opprotunity presented itself.

When it's life or death and seconds count, call the police.

 

They are only minutes away (and show up jacked on steroids and quick to shoot anyone who moves).
