Security camera footage behind the register of a convenience store captures the moment a store clerk, who's clearly had enough of people attempting to rob him, draws a massive sword to thwart a robber.

Not gonna lie to you, if I was the robber in this scenario, I would have immediately walked out. Any man who carries a sword in a scabbard underneath of his cash register is immediately exempt from illicit activities by my criminal enterprise.

Even if he had successfully robbed this guy, he would have spent the rest of his life being forced to look over his shoulder. Men who carry swords for self defense also end up becoming protagonists in revenge story arcs, and I do not want to end up on the wrong end of that.
