Sikh store owner shows courage and compassion in robbery incident

| @indiablooms | Aug 08, 2023, at 04:18 pm

In a display of courage and self-defense, the Sikh owner of a 7-Eleven store in California, along with an employee, successfully thwarted a robbery attempt.

The remarkable incident, caught on camera, has since gone viral online, leaving viewers in awe of the owner’s bravery.

The incident occurred when a masked robber entered the store and made his way behind the billing counter, grabbing various tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, and vapes.

As the robber callously tossed the stolen goods into a waste bin, an onlooker can be heard in the video, expressing doubt that the store owners would take any action to stop the thief.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the Sikh store owner and his employee sprang into action without hesitation. They quickly tackled the robber to the ground, showing remarkable skill and determination to protect their store and property.

The Sikh man then picked up a stick and bravely confronted the thief, ensuring that the robbery attempt came to a swift end.

As the confrontation intensified, the robber struggled and pleaded for mercy, realizing that he had picked the wrong store to target.

Throughout the incident, the bystander capturing the video could be heard encouraging the store owner and employee to “whoop his a–” and continue their efforts to subdue the robber.

The thief, overwhelmed and in pain, finally surrendered, admitting defeat and expressing his intention to cease the robbery.

Remarkably, after the would-be robber had been dealt with, the Sikh store owners showed compassion and restraint. Instead of calling the police, they allowed the culprit to leave the store without further harm.

The incident has sparked discussions on social media platforms, with many users praising the Sikh store owner’s bravery and sense of justice.

Some pointed out that if the robber had approached the store with genuine needs, such as food or medicine, the Sikh owner would likely have extended a helping hand, as it is customary in Sikh culture to offer free meals through communal kitchens in gurudwaras (Sikh places of worship).
