'Hero': Masked robber thwarted by San Francisco barista

[@steviewonder9216]

Wow getting bear maced taking down dude and going back to work what a savage.

[@orangeswirls324]

He restores humanity.

[@GvngLvndDuda]

Give This Man a Raise! We need more Quality People like him to Stand up for What’s Right!

[@DY-Hak1]

We need to fight back!

[@CaesarLee-v9c]

Against who....BLM 😂😂😂

[@redfields5070]

I'm surprised the cops didn't arrest the barista.

[@electricfil]

​@redfields5070 he'll probably be charged once the da sees the case.

[@batsofthemans7698]

Not really only 10% is called hero everyone else well jail.

[@Ap_twsh]

Trumps back MAGA

[@TurboFrieza]

42 years old and robbing?? Fail

[@eklypzn]

That's what I was thinking too. 42, how are you stuck at that stage?

[@godsu]

@@eklypzn Dude is still stuck in high school mentally

[@electricfil]

​@godsu gimme your backpack 😂

[@seanfulgham8070]

​@@eklypzn life is hard

[@moedark4390]

age matters not, robbing is fail

[@ponchobarr3455]

Thank you for stepping in. You’re amazing

[@ContentAndSerene]

The push cart was genius. Quick thinking

[@karenwilliams1442]

Bless you Grant. Thank you. There are still some good people in this world.

[@anthonymorris5084]

Other active warrants. What a shock.

[@huntersims1966]

And kudos to his employer for not firing him or punishing him in some way. Some employers will fire employees for intervening. In the Bay Area, especially, we need employees to protect customers and owners from thieves.

[@jeffstout3469]

100% 7-11 employees are fired for trying to protect themselves during an armed robbery/violent assault per "company policy"...even though the police department says you have a legal right to defend yourself the same as you would if you were attacked in your home. Disgusting!

[@cbus12ll27]

Its not smart to do that. He was just lucky the robber had just spray. There could be a gun or knife involved. Is a small backpack which you can easily replace worth the risk?

[@knucklevision]

@@cbus12ll27 You take your chances as they come, not armchair quarterbacking from a keyboard. He did an outstanding and courageous job, and inspired hopefulness in many. Glad the outcome was a winning won- give the man his props.

[@xycid]

I have a store not far from them. People, please support local businesses! Buy stuff from them and LEAVE REVIEWS! We deal with things like in the video all the time. Local businesses keep the city safe and clean! (yes, I do sweep sidewalks, pick up trash, and keep an eye on people and other businesses on my street). I will make sure to stop by and buy from them.

[@janepearson5802]

Thank you.

[@bransft]

And Starbucks would’ve fired the barista and given the thief a year’s worth of free coffee. We need more people like this in the world.

[@nicoleorton5299]

Super good guy!! Thank you!

[@murraymclean9072]

Hopefully, this hard-working man won't be charged with assault.

[@TyTyMcGinty]

Wow. In SF that guy is one in a million.

[@markpreston6930]

You are a liar.

[@TyTyMcGinty]

@ make it a billion lol

[@soolly357]

SF population is not even a million... these thugs come from other stats.

[@cbus12ll27]

the guy who got robbed just looks and doesn't even help XD

[@rainbow1021]

Thank you for your help! He is a wonderful man!

[@MarkTurner-vs7uc]

We have to stop submitting. To a lot of things

[@BootCampSpecimen]

Amen.

[@frankvqz3799]

Bless his heart

[@samboh8096]

I’m surprised they didn’t put the barista in jail?? 😂😂

[@Iceyfire12]

It’s not a corporation barista that’s why

[@byronrudrow7938]

I’m surprised the SF police even bothered to show up.

[@frankiek2691]

Aint that the truth. I bet if the thief got hurt, they would have. Just like Daniel Penny.

[@vti300]

Brave man. God bless people like him

[@Charlie_Brown_009]

He would be fired if he had worked for Starbucka.

[@LadyBooger]

You're right about that 😮

[@wpeters4361]

Exactly.

[@Qrayon]

That's another reason to stay out of Starbuck's.

[@you6382tube]

Wow. This guy is a for real. Awesome man.

[@RippleAffect]

People are sick of being robbed

[@theotheleo6830]

Note how the person he helped didn't bother to step in and return the favor. Instead, he chose to watch from a safe distance.

[@portalalchemist320]

He did call 911

[@redfields5070]

"other active warrants" says it all.

[@11nica5]

He’ll be back out on the streets

[@mindysuarez1699]

God bless you and those you saved. Amen 🙏

[@mr.hamachi9918]

And he was so humble about it.A real hero.SF PD excellent response time.Oakland PD response time would of been probably eight hours plus .Real talk!!

[@wpeters4361]

I'll bet the thief was released within hours of being taken into custody.

[@mikeypalmice9628]

Most likely,😂

[@godbyone]

Keys to city

[@elsierodgers4874]

There are laws you know?

[@Zumcho]

Probably not even booked, just released a few blocks down the street.

[@roan6125]

Gavin Newson probably gave the thief Giants tickets.

[@p-dub7422]

The guy he helped didn't seem to jump in and physically help. To hold a man for 7 minutes is a long time.

[@TrentBoyettsouthpark]

Grant is a legend

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

I'm sure he paid full fare from the Concord BART station.

[@Johnfisher12345]

More like Fruitvale

[@mobilemoke-ne2gr]

Yeah the Bart Cops, I mean Security Guards are worthless, I ride 5 days a week and the cops just hide in their cars in the parking lot watching people break into cars

[@williamsleeper2016]

The people will eventually tire of being victimized and reclaim that which has unjustly been taken from them!!

[@FkBdn]

Bravo to Grant!!!! ❤️

[@jennifersutton3115]

Thank you! 👍 🙏

[@rvnb1027]

Better hope the San Francisco district attorney doesn’t hear about this. She might have the barista in cuffs.

[@tanmaz8006]

.. you see that white guy tack down the colored guy .. blm needs to step up on the game he was just trying to feed his family.. this is racist ..

[@rajinbin]

In NYC he would need to be arrested and charged per Alvin Bragg

[@highcottonhoneybeecompany3299]

I’m surprised the San Francisco DA isn’t trying to press charges

[@BigB0ss00]

And the attacker would get a public apology from the mayor and a $25 gift certificate to Mcdonalds

[@Losttimes1992]

Great job and worker.

[@jasonfargo324]

That's what I'm talking about. Yes. Justice! (Also, why is it still legal to wear masks in public?)

[@Christian-tk1dd]

No different than Daniel Penny. You know that right? Difference is the attacker in this case wasn't on K2 with multiple pre-existing conditions. It takes people like Nick and Danny to retake America.

[@Chinnu4611]

greet effort .. appreciated…

[@mattheww8059]

I’m pretty sure once Gavin Nestrom finds out about this he’ll have the barista jailed

[@J0EFERNY-bq1vo]

Facts

[@naerwyn239]

I'm sorry you're feeling so angry and scared.

[@tanmaz8006]

​@@naerwyn239 The guy was white and took down the black man .. thats racist blm needs to fight for this ✊ ..

[@cardinalstar2048]

Barista, you are awesome ❤

[@jessemays9427]

Penny got charged,this fella got praise

[@DyslexicBatnam99]

Of course the chick down the street had to make it about herself.

[@arawilson]

Man who couldahad his backpack stolen had zero instinct to help?

[@naerwyn239]

He is old, got sprayed with bear mace, and immediately whipped out his phone to call 911. Geez. So critical, and yet, not paying enough attention.

[@sarahtiferet9025]

Grow TF up You DON'T know the entire situation . You're just a sad troll behind a keyboard . Get a life You're welcome !

[@bleepbloop7039]

i love how the dude he saved is not even helping him restrain the thief lol

[@SoloPilot6]

He'd been sprayed with the mace, and had problems of his own.

[@naerwyn239]

He is old, got sprayed with bear mace, and immediately whipped out his phone to call 911. Geez. So critical, and yet, not paying enough attention.

[@johnnywalker4857]

A robber who steals then uses mace to escape his victim. Wow. Nice work Nick!

[@bombaybeach208]

Great to see the good guys win. 42 years old and doing this? What a bozo.

[@denisellamas2955]

Thank you for your news today

[@SunWM99]

God bless you

[@eralare]

BOSS BARISTA

[@kaychua1262]

GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!!!

[@theonemox]

Thats a real man right there.

[@San_Francisco_Downtown_Watcher]

Finally the real hero will not face with prosecution, layoff, and jail time. Usually we were asked to do nothing while customer got robbed and don't help. If I do so, I will get fired.

[@batsofthemans7698]

Well seeing how it was San Francisco he should think his Stars he's not in prison right now.

[@jasonthewatchmansson8873]

Has the San Francisco DA charged the barista yet?

[@thenorthstars2210]

They are finishing up the paperwork now and arrests should be coming shortly...LOL

[@Wowjustwow37]

Next trip to SF, I’m buying coffee there and giving this man a big tip!

[@TheGor54]

Guy no longer wants to be called a " barista".

[@elcajoia619]

She had me at “other active warrant's.”

[@RacerX1971]

Good job..in the mean time, SFPD is across the street and having donuts and coffee

[@FrancusSlauson]

Learn Jiu Jitsu kids

[@delick01]

It's a scary world, the theft just walked in and took his bag right in front of him. We really need order

[@Jleed989]

What a take down

[@autumnfragrance6326]

We don't need Vigilantes. He should have called the Police.

[@mayflowerkid4422]

they did call the police

[@sarahtiferet9025]

LOL!!!! A lame keyboard warrior . poor freak Ya'll are getting so BORING

[@louie24seven]

What a coward. Having the audacity to spray mace on someone standing up for the victim.

[@cesargomez1637]

Protect and serve

[@harleydrifter]

The one guy in San Fransisco willing to actually step in and do something. Too back their police weren't half as vigilant.

[@fatpat4382]

He’s our next mayor!

[@RickSaunders-r8v]

Yes !

[@thenorthstars2210]

42 years old and trying to rob people? LOL

[@AlejandroBernal-cf1no]

Ride to jail was longer than he’s staying there.

[@mobilemoke-ne2gr]

its crazy he got bear mace in the face and then lost his pinky finger too!

[@bounhiam5739]

Awesome!.... man

[@whyareyousoangry7322]

Multiple warrants means no jail, no bail, keep voting for it.

[@jackblack4654]

according to Gavin NewSCUUUUMMM, crime is down

[@Joe-y6c5s]

Shhhh shhhhhh shhh we see that comment 59476433456788 times a day

[@thenotoriousgryyn342]

AWESOME, FIGHT BACK!!!

[@zachcouch8654]

1:12 The barista that lived

[@joshuaperrine2019]

You're a hero for stopping a robber, right? So that means Luigi is a hero for trying to stop not only thefts, but murders as well.

[@johnkaiser4708]

Surprised the barista hasn’t been arrested yet. It is SF after all.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

He should rename his shop COMBATTA BARISTA!!

[@sarangtokki2045]

Usual suspects

[@darknight2466]

You never know who has a back ground in martial arts ..any type of self defense training you don't need 2 years training just a few months to deal with idiots like this

[@chrisljieun]

Other active warrants!!! Say no more!

[@Devinthekiller]

Bear mased the guy, and he still whooped him. The robber is a loser on so many levels.

[@daniellajimenez6269]

Heck yeah!!!! 👏

[@Bob-p2q9q]

Lucky he didn't get arrested

[@AnnistonMahaffy]

This city won’t learn. Deportations coming

[@sarahgrace4768]

No more sanctuary cities

[@newtonng2163]

He is a hero and a true man helping others without looking at race color or caring about his own safety

[@mikemagers9570]

We going to arrest that guy? Huh, SF crazies?

[@rondoval239]

Grant is Da Man

[@crazydaisy1334]

And the DA rejected his charges and he is free!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤❤

[@Matt-xv2cp]

This dude must be a conservative, no way a soft af Democrat would fight back.

[@maytwu5044]

Starbucks should give him a raise and promotion

[@maestrovso]

All Starbucks had left the city.

[@koshnaranek2317]

🙄🤔 never mind.

[@joeytacey743]

If it was Starbucks the employee would be fired... But since it's in San Francisco the criminal will probably walk free

[@RoderickTom-ge1vc]

Good job, he’s in jail now cuz of multiple warrants😆

[@gooberswift888]

Full MMA combative dominance focused professional BRAVO🤙🏾🙏🏽

[@LeMortso]

In the UK he would have been arrested and the police would have given the thief his MACE back and got him a hotel.

[@bridgeguy2447]

However, that evil is now freed after jailed over night.
