In a recent incident captured on video, the store owners of a 7-Eleven showed tremendous courage and determination when faced with an attempted robbery.
The thief was seen on Twitter pushing tobacco products into a trash bin he had brought along, while the Sikh proprietors tried to intervene, albeit unsuccessfully.
Despite a bystander suggesting they let the criminal go, the store owners firmly refused to be passive bystanders.
Taking matters into their own hands, one of the owners managed to apprehend the would-be thief, while the other grabbed a large stick and defended their property by subduing the culprit.
The incident raises an interesting observation about how crime is dealt with in different cultures.
In the countries of origin of these store owners, confronting criminals attempting to rob businesses is not uncommon.

However, in the United States, some argue for a more lenient approach, which, as seen in this case, can lead to a rise in criminal activity.
The idea of being “soft on crime” is increasingly debated in American society.
Advocates for stricter enforcement of the law believe that citizens have the right to protect their homes and businesses from potential harm.
They argue that allowing criminals to act without consequences will only encourage more criminal behavior, leading to a surge in crime rates.

The consequences of “Defund the Police” movements in some cities have become apparent as crime rates soar, prompting regret among those who supported such measures.
America’s history is rooted in the defense of citizens’ rights, and the notion of letting criminal behavior go unchecked is seen by some as a significant departure from the nation’s principles.
In this particular case, the store owners’ actions sent a clear message to potential wrongdoers: their store is not an easy target.
While some may argue that such actions could lead to violence, others view it as a necessary form of self-defense and protection of property.
In conclusion, this incident at the 7-Eleven serves as an example of how citizens may take matters into their own hands when faced with potential criminal activity.
It also highlights the ongoing debate in America regarding the best approach to dealing with crime while upholding conservative values and protecting the rights of citizens.
