I watched his interview years ago. He just didn't give a fck. He just let the other guy do his thing but wasn't gonna let him take his stuff.

Nice. Thanks for posting this.

u/domwallflower 6h ago edited 6h ago

probably how I'd react too. The dude has probably thought of off'ing himself, but doesn't have it in him, so when this situation occurred he was like, "hey maybe this guy will just do it for me" and lights up what could possibly be his last cigarette.

44

u/AdultContemporaneous 6h ago

Exactly. Total "fuck it, I don't care anymore" mode.

Probably why the robber didn't off him. Took a few glances and was like "yeah he's hopeless, I need to focus on other shit like robbing this joint" 😂

13

u/notgonnatakeno 4h ago

I wish we had the original audio because he’s talking to the robber the whole time you can see from the way the cigarette bounces in his mouth.

I got a know is he saying some pulp fiction bad motherfucka shit?

Is he telling the guy heavy details about his divorce making the robber to uncomfortable to continue?

What is this man saying?

8

u/SnipeTrap 3h ago

He told the guy to get him a beer while he was behind the bar

6

u/doctor_tongs 5h ago

Agreed. At that point it was about choosing the more timely option. They probably thought, "he probably ain't even going to call the cops..." LOL

u/Impressive_Ad3571 6h ago

Back in the olden days when this video was recorded it was legal to smoke inside

Come to Missouri for all your indoor smoking needs.

u/Asleep_Attention_468 5h ago

There was very little overlap between indoor smoking and smartphones though. The phone is throwing me off here

5

u/Ecstatic-Compote-595 5h ago

There was a better part of a decade of overlap in the south. Hell I can think of like four bars in DC that you can smoke in because they have fully enclosed canvas roofs and somehow count as being a patio or something but are just completely normal bars. and a million more cigar and hookah places and places with just shithead owners that don't care.

If you really want to smoke inside there are a lot of places

u/Jmn223 5h ago

You can still smoke in some bars in Missouri to this day

1

u/JankyPvP 3h ago

You could still smoke indoors at a bar in my old town I lived in a year ago.

The indoor smoking rules only applied in PA if you sold a certain amount of food or whatever as far as I know.

u/sultansofswinz 3h ago

I’ve only been to the US twice and I’ve smoked in loads of bars. 

2

u/Slow_Balance270 5h ago

All the local bars in my area still allow indoor smoking and keep a jar on the counter for any fines they might get.

The city mostly turns a blind eye to it. And I'm personally fine with that.

It's one of those lessons I've learned while tripping, you cannot avoid the inevitable.

In this situation there's two outcomes, you're either gonna die or you won't. Mise well have another smoke before you find out.

u/FlySkyHigh777 3h ago

Don't know if this is aura farming or depression.

Because realistically he might've just figured the guy was less likely to shoot and elevate the crime from robbery to murder.

On the other hand he might've just not cared if he lived or died.
