Security Cam Catches Gold Store Clerk Pummeling Would-Be Robber

Gold Store Clerk Punches Robber

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Police say a would-be robber who demanded money from a store clerk got a fistful.

Before he could run off with any cash, the clerk at the We Buy Gold store in Hendersonville punched him in the nose on Friday. Sgt. Dale Patton with the Hendersonville Police Department tells the Times-News of Hendersonville that 25-year-old Mostafa Kamel Hendi dropped to the floor.

The clerk, 26-year-old Derek Mothershead, then grabbed the gun – which turned out to be a pellet gun – and called police. Hendi lay bleeding on the floor until he was arrested.

Gold Store Clerk Punches Robber

Patton says the clerk was on high alert because the store had already been robbed once recently. Authorities are looking into whether Hendi was involved in that heist.

Jail records did not list an attorney for Hendi. He was being held on $100,000 bond.

    He‘s lucky Derek didn’t have a gun on him.
    I wonder where that piece of crap came from? Here legally?
    Maybe they’ll give him a shave in jail.

      A gun in the hand does not mean the world by the tail. He put himself in a corner and allowed the guy within arms reach. I don’t care who you are, that close your gun is worthless. Derek the Destroyer did the absolute best thing possible. Kudos, props, and hardy hand shake.

      It’s a shame this thug will be back again and this time will be ready to kill the clerk. That’s why you kill these people when the law is on your side. A punch to the face for a guy some liberal judge will let out tomorrow is not enough. This trash needs to stare in a hole while somebody loads the round that drops him in it. He can get right with god in the mean time.

      I wouldn’t assume that the store worker was unarmed. It is very possible that he simply took direct action against an unarmed robber. We all know what would have happened if he had simply shot the guy…

      This is as good as any place my predictions for 2012. My predictions that 2011 would rival those things that happened in 2010 as far as weather and social upheavel has been vindicated. I said in 1/2011 here on the Blaze that 2011 would be worse than 2010 and things would continue to get worse. Massive Australia flood which straddled 2010/11, Massive East coast snow storms of epic proportion to include records set in UK, JAPAN Quake, Fires, Spring USA Floods, Quakes in US and on East coast followed up by a EarthQuake. This will continue and not subside because the year is over….nooooo. Getting ready while you can even if you do not survive some regional calamit will be something good others may benefit from. Our social unrest will continue to ramp up while our march to a greater War in the middle east is taking shape as we type. We arn’t going back to calmer times, things are escalating at a rapid rate and will reach a terrible climax for us all. If econ collapses this year I will not be surprised. If this country is attacked again in the months to come I will not be surprised. Pray for our country and try to do what is right in the mean time.

Our immigration policies are out of control period. You look at the latest census, where is all the migration to? Where is all the immigration taking place? In the South. The South needs to rise up and kick out all these unwanted foreign invaders!
