FlickrGenerally, you’re best served doing whatever a guy with a hatchet tells you to do.Any righteous criminal will tell you, weapons are pointless if your mark doesn’t think you’ve got the balls to use them. As Exhibit A, here’s one empty-handed, hatchet-wielding man in Lake City.The would-be robber — described as a tall white guy in a blue hoodie — approached his victim just as he was exiting a gas station with a six-pack. According to police, hatchet-dude told the man that things could “go one of two ways” and demanded his wallet.The victim — who’s either seriously stupid, a fine judge of character or a strange combination of the two — apparently said no to parting with his cash. So hatchet man offered him option number two: hand over the beer.At this, the victim turned and walked away. At which point the robber revealed just how desperate he was for a cold, delicious beverage.”I can throw this thing as well,” he apparently yelled.The victim went home and called 911. But police never found the man holding the hatchet. Maybe because he found someone willing to believe he’d actually use his weapon. Or maybe because he realized that 40 ounces of Hurricane would only set him back two bucks.(H/T: SeattleCrime)
