Cregg Jerri is being called a hero for stopping a would be robber at a Fresno California Starbucks Coffee shop on Thursday.
The alleged thief (innocent until proven guilty clause) Ryan Michael Florez who tried to rob the store wearing a Transformers mask using what appeared to be a toy gun pointed at the cashier before he pulled out a knife to make sure the Starbucks employee got the message he was not to take "no" for answer.
Jerri who must be a fan of professional wrestling or even the movie "Rocky III" hit Florez in the back of the head with a chair.
The two men then fought inside the store which was caught on camera with Florez was cut in the back and neck while Jerri was stabbed in the stomach.
Florez managed to flee the store but was caught by the Fresno police 20 minutes later after he fled the store in his auto.
Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer called Jerri a "hero" for his act of bravery but he cautions everyone not to attempt to play the hero role during a criminal act since Jerri is expected to recover from his injuries.
How about that? A thief dressed with a Transformers mask instead of being dressed as either Wordgirl or her teammates The Ladies Of Portobelo who are Donna and Debi Isthmus and Panama Squirrel who all wear masks over their eyes like Green Lantern and Green Arrow.

The man is a hero but yes caution is sometimes needed.

That is very true since some robbers are not going to take it easy on someone who gets in their way of getting money by stealing.

@Deepizzaguy That thief meant business except for the Transformers mask.

@TiarasOceanView I have heard of thieves using Captain America or Spider Man mask but never a Transformers mask.

I agree with you since the man who stopped the robbery could have been seriously injured by the criminal using a knife.

@inertia4 That is true since we are not real life Supermen.

@Deepizzaguy Right. It seems the world has gotten more crazy ever since the end of 2016. It also seems to me that things are only going to get worse.

I guess a Transformers mask was better than a Bozo mask.
