What do you do when there are no cops around?

Sometimes you have to self police

I would be worried that the robber's friends/family would know where to find me later and exact revenge.. but otherwise good for him standing up for himself.

^^This. This is a common issue the media doesn't report on.

What makes you think this was a troll? I didn't think so, it's a news story that happened in Los Angeles.

Good to hear that the employee was able to defend himself. Unlikely police would have been right there to help him in that second unless they were eating tacos there at the time....and a robber would have to be really dumb to rob a place with cops right there.

It doesn't mention if the suspects had a gun too.

It's sad to see a 19 year old die, but no doubt if he got away with this he would of had other victims.
Unfortunately some people just aren't good.

What a pathetic waste of life .

Imagine being the parents of this kid.
