Store security camera footage released to several news outlets captures the moment a robber armed with a knife has a near death experience with an 18 inch long weapon of opportunity.

I already know what the comments of this post are going to look like, so let's put all of that aside for a second and talk about weapon's of opportunity. A weapon of opportunity is classified as an improvised weapon utilized for self-defense in spontaneous circumstances. These can be anything from a pen or pencil to an 18" long rubber sex shop item that we won't name here.

The thing about robbers is they're often looking for soft targets. Robbers are usually not the strongest willed people, and are often desperate to make a quick buck. In many circumstances, as soon as a robber encounters resistance, they'll pack it up and call it a day, and this video is evidence of that when the man armed with a knife is chased out of the store he's robbing with a foot and a half long rubber dong.
