A clip went viral on Wednesday of two 7-Eleven store owners attacking a thief at a California location; the thief was stealing a garbage can filled with cigarettes.
From The New York Post:
Two 7-Eleven workers in California took matters into their own hands and used a stick to wallop a man who tried to steal a trash can full of cigarettes.
Shocking video of the attempted robbery shows one employee holding the thief down on the ground while his colleague relentlessly whacks him roughly 25 times.
“Okay, okay!” the thief screamed at this attacker while pleading for mercy.
Before he was taken down by the retail workers, the robber had casually sauntered behind the California convenience store’s register with a 20-gallon trash can in tow.
He nonchalantly grabs fistfuls of tobacco products — including cigarettes, cigars and vapes — and tosses them into the bin as the off-camera workers plead for him to stop.
Watch the clip above.
The two shop owners were largely supported on social media for taking the law into their own hands.

I’ve watched this video of two convenience store workers publicly flogging a thug thief 1837926 times this morning.
