Man ‘with no f--ks left’ lights up cigarette during armed robbery
2019-08-31
[NYPOST] A St. Louis man who’s obviously seen a few things was caught on camera looking completely unphased as an armed thief held up the bar he was drinking in.

At one point, the man can be seen lighting up a cigarette ‐ keeping his cool the entire time and refusing to get up from his chair ‐ while the suspect points his heavily modified pistol at him. He even refuses to give up his cellphone when ordered by the crook.

"He just was very adamant about it like, ’I’m not playing your game,'" said bartender Dustin Krueger, who spoke to KMOV4 and other local outlets on Thursday.

Everyone else in the bar during the Wednesday night incident can be seen hitting the deck and looking scared for their lives as the robbery suspect waves his gun at them and takes their belongings. But not the bespectacled "badass," as some people were describing him on social media.

"This is incredible," wrote one person on Twitter. "Dude has no f‐ks left."

Another user said, "That dude has balls of steel or has nothing left to lose. Either way, ice flows in his veins."

According to reports, the suspect managed to get away with everyone else’s possessions and some cash from the bar, but nothing belonging to the cigarette man. Many wondered if the guy was just too drunk to realize what was going down.

"We’re hardcore (or numb or really like our drink) here in Mound City," tweeted one resident.

Some were comparing the man to Samuel L. Jackson’s character in "Pulp Fiction," who also sits calmly through a stick-up.

"My hero," said one Twitter user.

#3  Capital punishment is a legal penalty in the U.S. state of Missouri. Let the hand wringers say it doesn't stop crime.

#2  I hope people learn a lesson from this guy. Whining and quivering behind tables is no way to die.

#1  It's not good advice to say F U to anyone with a gun, but the larger point is well taken. This guy's example is worth 10 Eagle Scout progressions.
