Machine gun?

That's just a rifle my dude.

Also looks less like a robbery and more like a kidnapping attempt

Could be dragging him to a car to force him to take money out at the ATM. That's a thing. Or forcing him to point out his own car so they can steal it, if he has the keys on him.

Right, it's a thing called kidnapping with the intent to rob.

Not really in the US.

Far more likely he's a dealer and this is a gang related kidnaping

They could also be bounty hunters. They’re not supposed to do this at all but I called the police on some dudes that picked up a guy and obviously had a gun in his side. They had hoods up and walked him to a tinted out Honda Accord. Police called me back later to fill me in. This was a family of bail bondsmen and they were picking up bounties at gun point and (wouldn’t tell me) but doing other illegal things. The guy was fine and their whole business got shut down.

Thats kidnapping.... like they said

1

u/greaper007 5d ago

Considering that the girl immediately hops out with an AK...I'm guessing the guy was a drug dealer that they were trying to rob.

2

u/SubstantialPressure3 5d ago

Nah, drug dealer would be armed before stepping out the door.

2

u/greaper007 4d ago

Not necessarily, carrying a weapon while committing a crime gives all kinds of sentencing enhancements. Many smart drug dealers wouldn't carry a weapon on them, they'd have it nearby but be able to offer plausible deniability if caught by the police.

Finally someone not basing things off of movies and stereotypes

“Good” dealers don’t break more laws than they absolutely have to at once

1

u/SubstantialPressure3 4d ago

Wasn't basing it off stereotypes. I had more than one set of neighbors that sold drugs. Not every dealer is a "good one" or even a smart one.

1

u/JewGuru 4d ago

Lol I’m sure you have a good grasp on how your neighbors sell their drugs

I’m just speaking from personal experience man

u/SubstantialPressure3 4d ago

Unfortunately I didn't have a choice. It was pretty blatant.

1

u/JewGuru 4d ago

What I’m saying is no matter how blatant things are you really can’t expect to have an understanding of what the usual mode of operation is for the average narcotics dealer just by living next to one. How much do you think you can really glean from that situation?

Not much at all

It’s not some kind of brag but I actually lived with and interacted with these people for a decade of my life so it’s just kind of silly to hear you say you know how they are cause you had some live next to you on your street

I was a drug dealer and I got kidnapped, robbed and assaulted. Not all drug dealers carry guns. 😘

u/Candid-Ask77 5d ago

So... You were terrible at your job is essentially what you're saying

3

u/Stuartsirnight 5d ago

I was actually extremely good at my job. I ran it successfully for 10+ years.

u/Candid-Ask77 5d ago

Not if you got kidnapped robbed and assaulted.

" I was it very good policeman I only killed one innocent child through my whole 15-year tenure"

"I ran a veryyy successful bakery, I only gave one family E Coli, but I really had to take a shit and get back on the clock and only rinsed my hands instead of washed"

"I was a very successful contractor. I only lost one finger"

u/Stuartsirnight 4d ago

Really? They got away with 6 grams of heroin and $700. I made more then that every day. I got kidnapped because I was fucked up on benzo’s, cocaine and heroin. I was extremely good at my job though.

1

u/JewGuru 4d ago

Bro this guy is literally saying because you got kidnapped and assaulted once in 10 years selling drugs that somehow you’re the worst drug dealer ever 😂 10 years is unheard of if you’re telling the truth

Guy sounds like a priviliged suburban fuck boy

u/Candid-Ask77 4d ago

I got kidnapped because I was fucked up on benzo's, cocaine and heroin

Bro you're proving my point even more. #1 Rule? Never get high on your own supply... That's likeee drugs 101. The best dealers don't partake. They definitely didn't mix Coke and Heroin.

Can't really brag about income/sales either when everything you're making is just going towards replacing the supply that you're using.

1

u/JewGuru 4d ago

Have you ever been in the scene at all? No you haven’t obviously or else you’d know especially now days that the only dealers not using (usually) are the bulk suppliers.

A lot of people sell as their own form of survival regardless of how smart that may be in the long run, and lots aren’t concerned with being some kind of business mogul or something they just wanna have enough money to pay rent buy food, drugs, and maybe some other cool stuff sometimes.

Most dealers aren’t Scarface man. You come off so ridiculous with these comments

1

u/Stuartsirnight 4d ago

I totally agree, you shouldn’t get high on your supply. But I was addicted to heroin before I started to selling.

u/JewGuru 4d ago

LMAO you have no fucking clue how it is obviously. 10+ years? Most people seriously selling last a couple years maybe before death or prison.

This is the cringiest take I’ve ever seen

1

u/Candid-Ask77 4d ago

Tell me you've never lived in the hood without telling me you've never lived in the hood. I know drug dealers who were around when I was a child who are in their 50s now and still in the hood free, chilling at the corner store in the evenings drinking beer and shit.. who still deal.

1

u/JewGuru 4d ago

You don’t know me dude lol everyone I know who was selling meth or fent is dead or in prison, or stopped and got out in time. If you know multiple people in their 50’s selling hard drugs not just psych’s or Molly or weed or some shit then you are an outlier I can guarantee that.

Either that or you know some higher level people.

I wasn’t in a gang or anutbing but I ran w dealers for years and they were a constant revolving door from jail to rehab to the grave and the only ones I still know are sober and recovered on their own accord and that is only one of them.

3 died at least 2 I know are in prison and then the one I know that has a girlfriend and a place now

So maybe my experience has just colored my interpretation 🤷‍♂️

No, he was smart. Getting robbed is part of the game and a survivable event. Carrying a weapon, large amounts of cash and drugs could conceivably enhance a sentence by 5-25 years. Not to mention using the gun and killing someone while committing other crimes could result in life in prison or the death penalty even if it was an event that could be considered self defense in other instances.

u/ThePornRater 5d ago

Owning an ak makes you a drug dealer. /r/shitredditorssay

2

u/greaper007 4d ago

Look at this scene, why are two guys trying to kidnap some working class dude in a low income apartment? Are they going to all this work to get the $50 that a dishwasher, grocery store worker or landscaper probably has living paycheck to paycheck has in his bank account? No, they're robbing a drug dealer. Someone having an AK ready to go this quickly kind of confirms that.

1

u/GayRacoon69 5d ago

No one said that. There's a lot of drug related crime in the us. Having a weapon ready to use at a moment's notice indicates that they likely are involved in some illegal business. No one said that owning a gun makes you a drug dealer

0

u/Candid-Ask77 5d ago

Not at all. I'm in Texas and In one of my homes I have a gun in almost every room ready to go. AR pistol and 9mm in the bedroom. 9mm in the kitchen. Auto shotgun behind the couch in the living room. .22 in the bathroom. Etc. I do nothing illegal, I just want to ensure if I'm targeted that there's a firearm within reach since I'm moderately successful.

2

u/greaper007 4d ago

Illegal or not, that's fucking kooky and paranoid. I lived in Texas for a decade with a dad who was on the road half the week, we never had a gun in the house and never had a problem. Now I've made it to my mid 40s without a gun in the house and I can't think of an instance where I needed one. I live in a country where it's very difficult to have a gun and it just makes things a thousand times better. I don't have to worry about mass shootings, or some nutso neighbor going off.
