Robber Holds Bar At Gunpoint, But Man Calmly Smokes & Texts Royally Ignoring Him!

Imagine this. You are in a bar, drinking your sorrows away when an armed robber takes over the establishment. Most of us will be intimidated, trying every possible way to escape from the situation. And staying calm at this point is the last thing on anyone’s mind.

Not for this man who instead enjoyed a smoke calmly at the bar counter while the robber looted the bar in front of him.

As weird as it sounds, Tony Tovar a regular at a bar in St Louis, USA wasn’t fazed by the armed robber when he held the entire establishment at gunpoint. The CCTV video that captured the entire episode showed customers running to find a safe spot, hiding behind chairs or hitting the ground, except Tovar who sat calmly at the counter staring at his cell phone.

When the robber tried to snatch his phone, he didn’t flinch and kept his grip tight forcing the gunman to give up on it.

“I said not another punk trying to pull a punk move. I’m so tired of people in South City thinking they can control people because they wanna muscle their way in with firearms or attitudes or some sort of aggression,” Tovar said to KSDK.

While the gunman goes behind the counter to pick some cash, Tavor can be seen sitting at the bar counter, lighting up his cigarette and smoking calmly.

“I wasn’t really concerned. I just had a really good feeling he wasn’t out to harm anybody, he just wanted drug money,” Tovar said.

The robber left the bar and no one was injured in the incident. Reports suggest that the 37-year-old robber Kevin Moore who managed to flee the bar with about $300 (Rs. 21,617 approx.) and a cellphone was arrested the next day. He has now been charged with four counts of robbery and armed criminal action.

WOW. Staying calm in the face of danger is one mantra we should all be learning from this guy.
