Moron Criminals : Statesville(NC) Pizza Hut Worker Wrestles Gun Away From Robber

[Story]

STATESVILLE, N.C. -- A local man said he knew a masked robber would kill him when he couldn't open a Statesville restaurant's safe. And because he has a family to take care of, he said he knew he had to fight back.

“He kept demanding I open the safe, and I can't open the safe. I'm just the oven man,” he said. Martin said the robber forced him into the bathroom and he knew his life was in danger. (An indicator that the scumbag plans to kill the victim)

“He took the gun and held it to my leg and squeezed the trigger -- and it didn't go off,” he said.

That's when Martin leapt into action and started fighting back. “I kept bending his arm and he wouldn't let the gun go, so I started biting him. And I bit his finger until he let the gun go, and when I got that gun -- that's when he was scared,” Martin said.

The gun went off in the scuffle. Three shots were fired, but nobody was hit.

The robber took off running for the door but not before making a bold request. “He said, ‘Please give me the gun back. It's not my gun and I'll leave.’

And why not even another request while he was at it: "And give me a couple free pizzas too for me and the gun owner"

Geeeeeze.

Congrats to the "oven man" for fighting back and not getting hurt. Too bad he wasn't carrying a firearm of his own he could have used when he felt his life was in imminent danger

Oh that's just classic!

Good for him for not allowing himself to be a victim

Let's hope he's not fired for failing to follow PizzaHut's "comply and whimper" policy!

Thats Pizza Huts policy, they fired their last employee for defending his life. I havent been to pizza hut in , well over a year. Which reminds me I bought pizza twice this week and I got some receipts to send to pizza hut with an explanation as to why I did NOT order from them!

Nice to see the guy didn't get shot on the first attempt. I used to live in Statesville years ago...

That is a great idea! I never did like pizza hut much but after the delivery driver being fired I knew I'd never go to one ever again, unless of course they change the policy. This is a great way to express our thoughts on the matter......and show the profits lost because of very ill concieved company policies.
