This crime gone wrong is a matter of unknown factors rather than stupidity

LOS ANGELES -- A 31-year-old man accused of robbing a hotel clerk at gunpoint was captured by two martial arts experts visiting from Oregon.

It happened Wednesday at a hotel in the 300 block of N. Vermont Avenue.

Surveillance video shows the suspect, identified as Luis Rosales, wandering around the hotel lobby. mHe then walks up to the front desk and pulls out a gun, demanding money.
"All right, gimme the dough!"
The clerk, fearing he was going to be shot, opened the register and gave the suspect money, according to police.

During the robbery, an elevator door opened, and two hotel guests who happened to be martial arts experts in town for a martial arts tournament heard the clerk's cry for help and immediately took action.
"Dough THIS!"
The pair grabbed the suspect who was holding a gun in his right hand.

During the tussle with the suspect, the Good Samaritans repeatedly asked him to drop the gun and stop struggling, police say.
"Give it up, beauzeau! You're already for the jug." *WHAP*
The pair was finally able to wrestle the gun from the suspect
What did that take, three seconds?
and took him to the ground with a leg sweep
That was another one second, plus the fall itself...
and then held him on the ground until officers arrived.
"Owwww! My kidney! You got your knee in my kidney!"
"If you don't move it doesn't hurt as bad. So don't move!"
"Owwwwww!"

Rosales, a resident of Los Angeles, was taken into custody without further incident.
"It's a fair cop; you got me."
"Make him remove his knee from my kidney!"
A loaded 9mm handgun and the money taken from the cash register were found inside Rosales' backpack, police say.

Rosales was booked for armed robbery with a firearm. He is being held on $101,250 bail.

#2  There is a video of a pimp beating his biach in the street in front of a martial arts studio. The instructor gets itchy and gives him a Y-block, thus ending the encounter altogether. His friend helps him across the street, the pimp talking sh*t all the while and continually passing out. Film magic.

#1  I heard the story of two top expert martial artists walking and talking about business, when one of the more unlucky idiots tried to mug them.

Very quickly, he was disarmed and face down on the street, held in such a way that he *could not* move, and then the two decided to "fun" him. Their talk to each other was so terrifying to him that when they let him up, he immediately tore off all of his own clothes then took off running. The conditions they gave for his escape.

No idea what they said to each other that was so motivational.
