I also loved it when the second employee grabbed the guy by the throat before he could get out the door. :smilelol5:

...and the employee was wearing blue gloves (PPC). Having used them myself they give you a nice non-slipping, eye popping grip. :shock:

Too bad its Mexico and they have crap gun laws or the old man in the cowboy hat could have just drawn and shot him when he turned around. Because of Mexico's crap laws, he doesn't have a distance weapon and has to try and tackle the guy. He almost gets stabbed several times.

Fortunately robbery does not seem to accompany intelligence in this instance. Not sure how he didn't stab him, but glad he didn't.

If that knife were to... "slip" off camera, I doubt there would be many repercussions.
