Michael Gracz's homegame robbed, Caught on video

A popular poker game near Raleigh, NC was involved in an attempted armed robbery on 4/22. I believe the individual being held at gunpoint on the porch of the building in the surveillance footage is professional player Michael Gracz.

That video reminded me of this one :

If you are gonna rob a place , it is pretty important to know if they have guns as well.

Re: NC Poker Game Attempted Armed Robbery 4/22

Anyone notice that the two black guys go in, the back one runs out after the shots fire. Than two white guys run out the door? Did the first black guy stay in the house?

Re: NC Poker Game Attempted Armed Robbery 4/22

The funniest thing has got to be the fact that they were dressed up as police officers, yet still elected to scream "this is a robbery", thus negating the 'submission advantage' that caused them to wear the police uniforms to begin with... THAT is an amazing gesture of stupidity.

The fact is, unless someone is extremely ****ing stupid, they aren't going to open fire on a uniformed cop, which is why hijackers/robbers wearing cop uniforms and announcing themselves as police (as opposed to "robbers") in an otherwise illegal poker game are so dangerous. They put you in a position where you can't just blast them without having to worry about the fact that it might actually be a cop.
