This man threatened the clerk, who fought back, then the customers joined in, then it just got crazy!
Armed robbery with a hammer just isn’t what it used to be.
WOAI reports:
Police say the man walked into a restaurant on South Presa Street, San Antonio, about 12:15 AM and tried to rob the store by threatening the clerk with a hammer.
The clerk wasn’t impressed with the would-be robber’s choice of a weapon, pulled the knife, and stabbed the robber several times.
The luckless wanna-be crook then stumbled out of the restaurant and tried to get help at a fire station across the street.
But as he crossed the street, he was run over by two cars.
Police pronounced the man dead, and say that they will not charge the clerk with a crime.
This tragic story is sad, and we wish the man could have made a better choice.
In a similar story, one Subway employee feigned compliance until he could overcome an armed robber all by himself.

GAMECHANGER: This graphic video shows the event through the eyes of Keith Scott’s wife, Rakeyia.
Keith Scott’s family has released a video of police officers fatally shooting him that was recorded by his wife, who was talking to police from a distance.
The footage, taken by Scott’s wife, does not clearly show the exact moment he was shot by police on Tuesday. Scott is seen on the ground moments after the shots were fired and surrounded by officers.
“He better not be f—ing dead, he better not be f—ing dead,” Scott’s wife can be heard shouting at the police officers. “He better live, he better live!”
The killing of Scott, 43, sparked three nights of fiery protests and violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement. Activists and the Scott family have pressed city officials to release bodycam or dashcam footage of the fatal encounter, which reignited debates about race and policing nationwide.
In the footage obtained by NBC News, Scott’s wife, Rakeyia Scott, can be heard saying, “Don’t shoot him, don’t shoot him” as police appear to converge on a white pick-up truck in the parking lot of a condominium complex. “He has no weapon — don’t shoot him!”

Rakeyia Scott can be heard urging her husband to comply with the officers who had instructed her husband to “drop the gun, drop the gun.”
“Keith, don’t let them break the windows! Come on out of the car,” she can be heard yelling, “Keith, don’t do it!”
“Keith, Keith, Keith — don’t you do it!”
It’s at that moment that four gunshots can be heard, as Scott’s wife screams: “Did you shoot him? Did you shoot him?”

Of course, opinions vary in a controversial, tragic event like this:
https://threepercenternation.com/2016/09/naacp-leader-on-keith-scott-it-really-doesnt-matter-if-he-had-a-gun/
A local NAACP leader told CNN’s Carol Costello had some shocking words on Thursday. Many are in disgust and disbelief.
This leader said that it didn’t actually matter whether or not black Charlotte man Keith Scott had a gun on him when he was shot and killed by police.
Scott’s death led to protests and violence for the past two days, after his family reported that he was holding a book when he died. Charlotte police have called that false, saying that police body camera footage shows he was brandishing a gun and that they recovered a weapon from the scene.
But the president of the Charlotte chapter of the NAACP Corine Mack said ultimately it didn’t matter. “I think the most important part is the contrast in him having a book versus a gun. But in my mind and in most of the community’s mind, it really doesn’t matter if he had a gun,” she said.
