From the New York Post -
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officials told The Post that cops responded Wednesday afternoon to a robbery incident at the vape business but would not release further details.
“I was scared for my life,” Nguyen told The Post on Friday. “When they came in, one of them had a bag in front of him like he had a firearm or something. I didn't have much time to think. I grabbed my knife right next to the register.”
Nguyen, 22, said it was around 3:25 p.m. on Wednesday when two men wearing black ski masks entered his shop while another stood by the door. Video footage showed Nguyen asking the two suspects why they were wearing the ski masks.
When Nguyen asked them to leave, one of the suspects grabbed the tip jar.
“I asked them first nicely to leave but the guy took my tip jar, which was fine,” Nguyen said. “When they came back and tried to take some more, that's when it escalated.”
Surveillance footage showed one of the suspects jump over the counter and try to grab some products off the shelf. Fearing for his life, Nguyen said he grabbed his knife with a three-inch blade and stabbed the assailant seven times.
“Stop, please! I'm dead! I'm dead,” the would-be robber said as he collapsed to the ground.
“I remember him saying, ‘Please don't let me die,'” Nguyen said. “He said he was sorry. By that point, he took off his mask himself. I was trying to get on the phone with the police when he was trying to talk to me. I just ran and wanted to make sure the police and ambulance would get here on time.”
Nguyen said police told him the robber was 17-years old. His condition was not clear.
Nguyen, who turns 23 on Saturday, said he is thankful that he survived the ordeal. He said the incident left him “shook” and he plans to look into arming himself with other weapons for protection.
“Small business owners like us, this is our livelihood,” Nguyen told The Post. “Not only are they threatening our lives, but our livelihood, so we have to stay vigilant.”

Why do you think he was wearing it like that? The answer really is pretty simple.

Fuck, the way he pleads. Only 17 and it was such a petty robbery. These kids got caught up in shit that was bigger than them. They threw away their lives over some tips and fucking nic. They found out quick though.

why y'all sayin “sadly he survived” were all kids and do stupid stuff, yes you shouldn't rob, but he's js a kid. That man had no right to stab him, maybe for self defense but the kid didn't do anything to hurt the worker so i think stabbing him almost to death was a little bit to far.

Yeah he sure learned his lesson but to say it's sad he survived is crazy. Even the guy who stabbed him was happy he survived.

If your family starves to death because someone took 3.79c in tips and a 30 dollars worth of vape pens, it might be time to get a better job. The world doesn't owe you a living.
