Possible carjacking/robbery attempt thwarted...

...at gas pump.

I don't know if there's a way to imbed these, so just click: https://imgur.com/gallery/9vTqVfD

Quick thinking. I'm wondering if the guy got the idea from this scene in "Justified:"

Tell me you’re rich af without telling me you’re rich af.


I saw this the other day too. I thought it was awesome. And then I think I saw that episode of Justified Wed or Thu.

As a bad guy, I'm pretty sure that a face full of gas will put a damper on your plans. I like how the guy also filled the van with gas through the open sliding door. I kind of wish the driver had driven off with his compadres chasing him.

Will gas shoot that far? I’m thinking no.

One can only hope that the guys in the van lit a cigarette once they got away. You know, to calm their nerves.

Beat by a guy wearing a facemask, by himself, at a gas pump.

These guys should have their hood rat cards pulled.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
