Bat-wielding robber begs for forgiveness

Here's some riveting surveillance footage from a Long Island convenience store.

A masked robber bursts into the store with a baseball bat, demanding money. The store's owner surprises the bandit by whipping out a rifle. That's when the robber gets down on his knees and begs for forgiveness.

The store owner made the robber promise to give up a life of crime, letting him run out with $40 and a loaf of bread. The New York Daily News has the complete story.

i would have shot him in knees ....he would never forget you and his life would be miserable with bad knees .....

The store owner may be generous and good in some way but he should still have the man arrested and have him investigated because he might be using the money for drugs or something bad. We'll just hope that the robber will not do this again and if he does, we will just hope that he is not with a gun already.
