Over Confidence!! Thief Demands Robbery Be Streamed Live On Facebook

An armed robbery was streamed live on Facebook because the suspect wanted to be seen on camera during the crime.

Abdul “AK” Aziz of Staten Island, New York, got shocked when 30-year-old Rasheem Harrison walked into his store on Wednesday morning and pulled out a huge knife, according to CBS.

“He could do something dangerous so I was nervous. At the same time, I was in fear for my life,” Aziz said.

Aziz is a local celebrity of sorts known as AK A Isaac on Facebook with thousands of followers often posts live videos from his phone, and Harrison, who’s been in the store before, made the bizarre demand.

“He threatened that he was going to kill me if I didn’t put him on Facebook,” Aziz said.

So he streamed the armed robbery as it was happening using Facebook Live. Harrison ranted about wanting to find someone, grabbed an ice cream cone and refused to pay for it.

“I’m gonna eat it whether you like it or not right or wrong, and you can take it how you want to cause by the end of the day what I got in my hand,” he said in the video.

“I felt like I was a hostage inside my own place so I put him on Facebook,” Aziz told Conybeare.

After several tense minutes, the suspect stormed out and was arrested about a half hour later.

Aziz said he’s using Facebook Live even more since the incident so he has witnesses, and said Harrison has threatened to come back and shoot up the store.

Despite all of that, the 28-year-old Yemeni immigrant said he isn’t afraid.

“I’m not letting none of these wannabe thugs, wannabe hustlers ruin my life or stop me from making my money to feed my family and I know God is with me,” he said.
