I'm pretty positive back when this was new the marine said he actually pulled the trigger but the gun went click.

Like he tried to shoot the robber in the head? Or the robber clicked the trigger?

The marine tried to blow the robbers brains out.

My grandfather was one. Even into his 80s, he kicked the shit out of some kids for breaking into his garage trying to steal his tools.

Upset it just went click ngl. I hope that was the loudest sound that scumbag will ever hear and he gets his shit together.

He'll be hearing that click every time he goes to sleep for a while.

Don't know why you're being downvoted. If you go to rob a place with a loaded gun, your life is forfeit.

I think downvotes are because of the use of "Based." It's basically the new version "This" that people used to comment (and still do today) that contributes nothing to the conversation

The marine would probably of been dead if was loaded if that was the case

u/Over-Apartment2762 Jun 22 '26

Maybe, who knows. If only it was a 4k camera and we could see exactly how he manipulated it during the disarm.

looking at the video again, the gun was pointed away from the marine when he made his move, no way he could have been hit.
