"A 20-year-old Christian mobile phone shop manager in Florida stopped a would-be armed robber by preaching to him about Jesus.
Nayara Goncalves spent nearly five minutes persuading the man that he was doing the wrong thing.
The man eventually apologised, explained his gun was a replica and left the shop in Broward County."


This lady sure had some balls though I think she got lucky with the guy who was robbing the place. I cant see this praise Jesus stuff going down too well with a twitchy crackhead.

Crackhead: "Your honour, don't send me to jail, I found Jesus"

Judge "So? This is Florida, every third guy in County is called Jesus"

During the incident on 23 July, Ms Goncalves told the would-be robber: "I'm just going to talk with you about Jesus."

I always thought that Jakkass was a bloke.

The gun was a replica , he wasn't going to be able to shoot her anyway.
I would like a repeat run of this but this time give the robber a loaded gun. My guess is a way different outcome.

Jakkass is an angel sent among us to test the boundaries of our faith.

I don't know about this, he seemed to be the most reluctant and apologetic robber ever who unfortunately saw this as his only way to get out of his situation. This by the way in no way condones this guys actions for which he should be punished.

Then again if he was so desperate for the $300 and willing to risk years in prison than I guess you couldn't really put anything past him. Lets hope he's caught and if not at least cops the fook on to himself.

He probably thought to himself I'm not listening to this sh1te and I can't shoot her so he just walked off.

defo agree with you OP, if i were that crackhead, the robbery would have been averted, but murder would have been committed.

There's a point where using 'balls' as a synonym for 'courage' stops making sense.

You reached it.
