Life in Taiwan must be pretty crap or else the prisons over there must be first class.

A 44 year old man in Taiwan was caught robbing a convenience store. The problem was this person obviously did not have the intent to rob anything but to get caught by the police. This man checked for security cameras, asked the clerk to call the police and waited to get caught. The man waited patiently while other customers came and go. Occasionally, the man asked the clerk to call the police again. It’s almost as if this was some kind of service the convenience store provided.

Taiwan robbers seem to be seriously weak; at least Apple animated news make it look that way.

Two armed robbers robbing a jewelry shop are met with fierce resistance from two siblings. In this fight for survival, the siblings win over the bad guys. In the end, one of the robbers is shot in the thigh and the other dies from a heart attack.

The reason why I call these robbers weak is that the manner in which the robbery was conducted was just way too amateurish (and dumb). The robbers came with the intent to kill the storekeeper (the sister) but the gun jammed on the first shot and the second shot did not kill her. On the third attempt, the brother (who they did not notice) came to his sister’s rescue. The sister also joined in the fight despite being shot.

While the siblings were definitely very brave and tough, the robbers really could have succeeded without much stress. The brother wouldn’t have attacked if he didn’t see his sister in danger.

There really was no reason to kill innocent people in this robbery, and the robbers paid the price.
