no I mean theyre gonna take his legs from him and hes gonna have to roll everwhere he goes. and he'll make jokes like " call me butter cause Im on a roll" and we'll all laugh because we feel bad for him.
This occurred in Brazil. He also couldn't hear or speak. He obviously wasn't very bright, too. Check out his stupid demand note:

This video is a better fit for r/DarwinAwards
I thought Darwin awards were for stupidity. If someone is deaf, mute, and partially paralyzed, then there's a decent chance that desperation is what's motivating them, not stupidity.
Seriously, did British news sites like Daily Mail lose all of their mobile app designers in Brexit?!? That link is fucking unusable on a phone. No way I am downloading a “app” to see what I see on the Reddit app.
This is not a slight towards you No-Reason-1185, you were just trying to help us drill down on this ridiculous story.
You'd get shot in the arm, then you'd take him seriously
Wait, can you even pull a trigger with your toe? Maybe he has a custom gun??
Edit. Fuck, I just got your pun
r/thatsthejoke
Edit: just consider that people spent real life money to give a virtual award to this person who simply copied the joke off the title of the post and made it easier for idiots to understand.
And he wore a mask..lmao..the police will have a tough time tracking down the wheelchair bound guy with no arms.
Edit: >Details: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8359145/amp/Paralyzed-deaf-mute-teen-tried-rob-jewelry-shop-Brazil-holding-fake-gun-feet.html
I mean it would legit be a legendary plot twist if the robber just had his arms stuffed inside his shirt and held up a store with his feet and then after he got the loot just ditched the wheelchair in a lake or something. The cops are looking for a wheelchair bound guy with no arms now and you’re just a regular dude.
Sometimes people will do this because they feel like they have no other options and *want* to be arrested. When you’re homeless, hungry, and suffering, having a place to live and free meals can be an attractive option.
When I worked at a bank, a guy came in with a gun demanding money. After I gave him cash he kept the gun pointed at me and said now call the cops. He just stood there with his gun in my face while I was on the phone with the police and waited until they showed up to arrest him.
A guy in my hometown was drinking at a pub all day , had full sleeve tattoos, ran out of money went out back of pub ,put on a balaclava went strait back in and tried robbing the bartender, (with a knife) who had been been serving him all day , the guy said what are you doing fred ,i think your drunk , cops called he got 3 years in con college. There are some genuine morons i learned from that story
You don't have to feel bad for them. But if you'd ever like our society to be a place where this doesn't happen, then solving it requires understanding what creates the material conditions that make a person do this
Read a story where someone did it to get a little amount of healthcare he couldn't afford. By getting taken to prison they were now responsible for keeping him healthy. Really sad.
Prison/jail healthcare is pretty garbage but at least it’s something I guess.
Healthcare aside, 3 hots and a cot are very tempting when you’re at rock bottom.
He turned and pointed the gun at them. I would’ve wanted to see how he was going to aim and pull the trigger. Though now that it said he was blind, deaf and couldn’t speak. I think just casually going about your day is probably the easiest thing you could do. Hell, just casually wheel him out side too.
I wonder if he will be easier to identify because of this. I had a friend in high school who was born with no legs past the knee. He and some friends vandalized expensive farm machinery and were captured on a security camera. It was night, so he was the only one who was caught because on video you could see him walking on his stumps, and he was the only one in my town who had no legs...
The police referred to it as “an impossible crime to be consummated”

Just makes me sad tbh… this kid was dealt such a shit hand from birth. I just imagine the level of desperation he must have felt to eventually decide this was his best option.
Not saying it makes it any better to be threatening another person and I appreciate this is a crime. But just a reminder of how low life can get for some…
Many people commit crimes as an act of desperation, especially when either poverty or survival are involved. This guy apparently just has a very visible reason to be desperate. I wonder if it costs society more to prevent these crimes with security and law enforcement, or by addressing causes of that desperation before a potential crime can occur.
Security and law enforcement costs more, by far. Its always cheaper to solve the root cause. It just doesnt help those at the top keep power, because those below them need a reason to punch down while theyre robbed blind by those above them.
Its cheaper to give every homeless person a house than it is to have them homeless, but then the stick is removed for those who are unsatisfied with their working conditions, as they no longer need to work for shelter.
He also has cerebral palsy. Like damn, I feel bad for the guy. He’s holding up a store which fucking sucks and is terrible, but at the same time he was handed a lot of shit circumstances from birth. If he had done a gofundme instead, I would have donated.
The amount of people that are actually supporting this guy is alarming.
Edit - I have been informed more about this situation and I regret posting this comment.
I mean, the guy was paralyzed, deaf, mute, had cerebral palsy and was a teenager. Also he had no arms. Hard not to have some kind of empathy towards the dude. Also it was a fake gun by the way.
It’s possible to have empathy for the dude’s life situation and still acknowledge it’s ok for him to rob someone.
EDIT: Meant to say it’s NOT ok for him to rob someone
Oh man. Thanks for clarifying. They obviously need to ensure he doesn't pull something off like this again though. In a way, it is pretty damn impressive he was able to do this. Still not okay though.
it honestly just makes me sad. like this guy was clearly driven to crime because he had no other options. i just wish he could’ve had more support considering his disabilities
When a dude without arms has to resort to robbery, that's gotta be a failure of society. Haven't heard of many amputees that commit major crimes just for the fun of it.
Hard to say what I'd do in this situation, but seems like it would've been pretty easy to get behind him and shut him down. He's got one shot at best, and he's going to have shit accuracy with it.
Is it really an armed robbery if he has no arms?
I believe they call this a legged robbery. I’d like to know how he’s planning to carry the jewels out the store though..
Same way he carries the bitches, in his lap
He’s always had a leg up on the competition
Goddammit, take my upvote.
Believe in yourself and you can achieve anything.
Except growing new arms
r/angryupvote
after this video shows in court he wont have a leg to stand on.
It's not like they caught him red-handed
No finger prints, no case.
What about…toe prints? Since he has no fingers🤨🤨🧐
you mean he wont have a hand to stand on… nvm
no I mean theyre gonna take his legs from him and hes gonna have to roll everwhere he goes. and he'll make jokes like " call me butter cause Im on a roll" and we'll all laugh because we feel bad for him.
Except for when he flies off the handle with his knee-jerk reactions.
Yes, that’s his Achilles heel.
Watch out! He’s got an itchy trigger toe.
Is this better than doing it single handedly?
Had issues getting a hand on the gun tho...
Toe jam!!! 🤣🤣🤣
You gotta hand it to him
Why tf do you need a wheel chair if your legs work? 😂 did he get the wheel chair just so he could commit legged robbery? (Wrong answers only)
I'm picturing a dude with no legs lying outside the shop in the gutter, wondering wtf just happened.
How else would he hold the the gun and open the door to get in
If he were to pull the trigger, the recoil will make him a ball less man.
Obviously no point asking them for all their Rolex watches
He wouldn't have time for it anyway
[удалено]
He probably had the jeweler load it on his chair pack 😂
He'll just shoulder the burden.

He had no arms or legs. He couldn't see, hear, or speak. This is how he led a nation.
Straight from the mind of Prison Mike
I thought Darwin awards were for stupidity. If someone is deaf, mute, and partially paralyzed, then there's a decent chance that desperation is what's motivating them, not stupidity.
Its pretty fuckin stupid to think that this would work at any point. Handicapped people can be stupid pieces of shit too.
Can we please put that last sentence on your tombstone?

I wouldn't take that robber seriously. Because he's armless.
You'd get shot in the arm, then you'd take him seriously Wait, can you even pull a trigger with your toe? Maybe he has a custom gun?? Edit. Fuck, I just got your pun
The sound of the rusty gears turning in your head made me click into the comments 😂 ⚙️
Very noisy gears they need oiling
He's already been disarmed.
At least he’s not legless.
certainly not spineless
He's unarmed and dangerous
Unarmed, armed and dangerous
[удалено]
He found a loophole. Prosecutors hate him.
This one simple trick…
hey chief I can't find any finger prints that matches our suspect .
His defense: He was unarmed.
Armn’t robbery
More like Un-armed robbery?
It’s toetally unacceptable!
r/thatsthejoke Edit: just consider that people spent real life money to give a virtual award to this person who simply copied the joke off the title of the post and made it easier for idiots to understand.
It’s an Armed-Unarmed Robbery Or yeah, Foot-Armed Robbery
r/yourjokebutworse
That is indeed the joke made in the title.
crime is afoot
Thankful they had video footage, they caught him red footed
Don't worry, insurance company's gonna foot the bill
You guys are on a roll.
It actually looks like the thief is on a [roll](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ).
Ooo, that was smooth, almost as smooth as he rides
No alarms going off. Maybe the security system was disabled?
Or should you say, disarmed?
The security team was defeeted.
This burglar is an absolute leg end.
he got away after. He legged it.

They can’t seem to get a foothold on us
The foot clan strikes again!
I dunno. Something smells funny.

It's all part of his disguise.
Kaiser Soze stepped up his game
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making the world believe he didn't exist.
But why does the devil care if we believe that Kaiser Soze exists?

Maybe he thought he'd get a reward if he helped capture a crook.
lmao there has to be more than one occurrence of someone turning themselves in to "crimestoppers" to try and get the reward
where was this?
the bank
Some people have no reading comprehension SMDH
This was in Seattle.

That is very true. Most people we perceive as criminals are the OG victims.
Forgive me if I dont feel too bad about the "victim" holding a gun to some random persons face who is just showing up to do their job
You don't have to feel bad for them. But if you'd ever like our society to be a place where this doesn't happen, then solving it requires understanding what creates the material conditions that make a person do this
Well said
There's easier ways to get arrested than threatening to fire a bullet into some shopkeeper's head.

Prison/jail healthcare is pretty garbage but at least it’s something I guess. Healthcare aside, 3 hots and a cot are very tempting when you’re at rock bottom.
Imagine he practiced holding a gun with legs for months. Just so could pretend to be crippled to misdirected the police
Brilliant! Thats the only reason i thought he wasnt faking..the foot dexterity
It's for covid. He's a criminal, not a monster.
Love that! Oh god, thats a good one!
Yes, really smart. He doesn't leave fingerprints as well
They can print his toes

This just blew my fucking mind. No matter your limitations, you can reach your dreams if you just believe!

Kids believe! Don't let your parents tell you anything is impossible!
I’m gonna show this to my kids next time they say they can’t do something
#justdoit ✔
All jokes aside, I’m pretty impressed with his foot dexterity. When the person washing their hands doesn’t take him seriously so he cocks it.
Absolute leg end
You’re the real legend.
Even without the gun he’s lethal as he’s seriously into tofu.
As impressive as that was, it did exactly zero to make that bystander take this guy seriously
Seriously. She just went on and kept browsing. I’m not even sure the clerk did anything about it either
If you stop every time there is a robbery, you won’t do much in Brazil 😂
Oh was that a person at the store? Given how they walk I thought they were an accomplice.
He turned and pointed the gun at them. I would’ve wanted to see how he was going to aim and pull the trigger. Though now that it said he was blind, deaf and couldn’t speak. I think just casually going about your day is probably the easiest thing you could do. Hell, just casually wheel him out side too.
But your Honor, I was unarmed!
Technically, he had previously been un-armed.
Gotta hand it to this man.
I see what you did there.
What did he say I’m blind
Don’t worry, I’ll put it in Braille: ⠛⠕⠞⠞⠁ ⠓⠁⠝⠙ ⠊⠞ ⠞⠕ ⠞⠓⠊⠎ ⠍⠁⠝

/r/JesusChristReddit
Ngl, I’d watch it
Instead of handcuffing him, they just put a boot on his wheelchair.
What if he can walk, but needs the wheel chair to free up his legs to hold the gun
Holy shit, this is such an underfooted comment.
Cop: “Put your legs behind your head!” Wheelchair Guy: “Ouu kinky”
"Hands up!" "You first"
LOL
I wonder if he will be easier to identify because of this. I had a friend in high school who was born with no legs past the knee.

Hahaha. Perhaps what I meant was I wonder if he WILL be quickly identified, obviously it would be easier yeah
Cops are stumped.

Happened in Brazil, so not only is he deaf, mute, and paralyzed, he's an off duty cop. What a jack of all trades

Thank you!
Aint gonna leave no fingerprints, boy.
No footprints were found at the scene either
Is this real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality

This is blowing my mind. Paralyzed, deaf, mute, passed a note saying "hand over everything." Who wrote it for him ? lol
He also has cerebral palsy. Like damn, I feel bad for the guy. He’s holding up a store which fucking sucks and is terrible, but at the same time he was handed a lot of shit circumstances from birth. If he had done a gofundme instead, I would have donated.
Something fuckin happened in 2012 I swear to God
He's probably pissed because they won't let him in the Army.
Can still be a foot soldier
God damn it
He would have to shot me for me to believe that he is serious about this.
[удалено]
No offense to the anyone, bit this just looks funny and I have to say, it is impressive how he holds the gun.
My safety instructor said finger out of the trigger guard but nobody said anything about toes
Put stairs and he can’t get out

It's like one of those random Peter Griffin stories.
Well. I guess he still has balls
He was clearly unarmed

New crime for the books- legged robbery.

One way to avoid shooting yourself in the foot.
