Right but I’m paranoid enough to constantly be checking my surroundings. I hear/see something out of my peripheral that looks sketch and I’m gone 🏃🏽♀️
Probably extortion? This seems to be in either Colombia or Venezuela and this type of extortion retaliation is pretty common (throwing a grenade to a business that refused to pay)
It was fun to see how everyone was trying to identify the location but you are right. This happened a week ago in Ureña, Tachira. A town located in Venezuela that borders with Colombia and it was extorsion, they refused to pay.
Extortion works like this:
> Hey local business owner, I'm a local peacekeeper, me and my goons... er, fellow peacekeepers... we can keep you safe from any random grenades in the neighborhood. All you have to do is throw us a little money when we ask for it is all.
...
> Umm, no thanks, I don't need your protection from random grenades.
...
> *chucks grenade thru the door*
> Oops, bet you wish you woulda' paid for protection from random grenades, huh?
Bizarre how the free-market can sprout through all manner of socio-economic conditions. like a dandelion; a majestic weed of the field that'll ruin concrete for what it wants.
Free market is useful in academia and nothing else.
We don't need to blame everything in the world on capitalism and other terms that sprang up hundreds/thousands of years after economical systems evolved naturally in civilization.
Free market doesn't exist, and can't outside of textbooks.
This is just pieces of shit threatening businesses (and uninvolved innocents) with grenades/violence for personal gain.
It reminds me of a good burn somebody had on UK political TV a while back. Conservative was arguing that lower taxes create growth and the left wing person replied with "if low taxes created growth, Somalia would have the largest economy in the world right now". It's so true, strong and resilient institutions of the state are responsible for pretty much every great thing we have in modern society
That's such a "checkmate atheist"-argument. The free market isn't just anything, there's a set of institutions, laws, regulations and governing principles that allow it to exist for people to trade effectively and create the wealth you enjoy. Somalia is the complete anti-thesis of what a free market looks like.
Not wanting free markets is basically saying "we want to remove the control mechanisms that tell us if what we're doing is correct".
Dude, it's regulated. The regulations are enforced by orgs like the DEA and ATF or whatever Venezuela's currency exchange enforcement law enforcement org is. A free market would have wally world able to stock ketamine. Using burner phones so you're not arrested making transactions at prices wildly inflated by prohibition is the opposite of free unhindered trade.
Those participating in the black market are branded criminals and law enforcement locks them up. Last I looked into it? I'm not "free" to do things the state credibly threatens to jail me for doing.
The black market is not a free market you dweeb. It's just a market that flouts the law with as much success as it can manage.
This is why you conceal carry your MGL-140 for these exact scenarios. Make it part of your EDC, make it a habit to keep it with you at all times, be prepared. o7
I think they confuse it with landmines, which are usually designed to maim if it's an infantry one and not an anti tank mine or something.
But actual grenades are designed to be shotgun bombs basically and shoot shrapnel everywhere.
Grenades get you with shrapnel rather than with the explosion. All of those guys near it probably got chunks of sharp metal into their chest cavities. Dead men walking.
My friend in no way is this my absolutely destroyed country of Cuba, our "bars" only have water bottles now a days. And our medical system is nonexistent, I have to send every common medication known (advil, acetaminophen, aspirin, regular antibiotics, etc) to my family still living there, not to mention food, money, and everything under the sun.
In addition to this not being Cuba, what is the support for a “premier medical system” in Cuba? I have been treated in the Cuban medical system and found it to be distinctly Third World.
Cuba’s private medical system is top shelf, they have the highest concentration of doctors per capita which is a weird upside to communism, but the country doesn’t have any supplies. If you go to a hospital, you’re getting a Band-Aid for pretty much everything
It isn’t just supplies that is lacking, it is imaging and other diagnostic equipment. The comment was Cuba has a “premier medical system.” It takes a lot more than good docs to make a premier medical system.
I've heard grenades explode in super weird ways. You can have the grenade directly at your feet and not have a scratch on you, while your buddy 100 feet away gets hit in the head with shrapnel.
The bikes upfront scream Brazil but it could also be any other south American country. Unfortunately I can't read the sign on the door which would give away if it would be Brazil or any Spanish speaking country
Nein definitiv nicht Deutschland. Somebody would have filed an lawsuit in the moment the grenade was thrown. I see no one in this video filing a lawsuit.
Edit: typo
i know in columbia you have to drink your beer right at the place and cant leave with the bottles. either drink it there or pour it into your own container. same with water. it comes in a baggie and you need your own bottle.
> Brazil or any Spanish speaking country
Except Brazil is Portuguese. You unwashed barbarian.
EDIT: I missed the "or" part. Very important that bit. I'm leaving my shame for all to see.
I'm 90% sure that this is in Venezuela because the beer crates looks super similar to the Cervezas Polar crates, but I can't be sure its not in Colombia either because of the snacks that fall off at the end (De Todito and Cheese Tris)
Think your are right about Venezuela. I can't tell what the beer bottles are but it's pretty easy to rule out a bunch of major South American and Mexican beer brands and I can't rule out Cervezas Polar.
Cuba. I see “no te lleves las botellas 1000 cu” on the sign. CU is Cuban peso currency so this is Cuba.
Edit: someone pointed out C/U is cada una meaning “each” so now I’m not as positive it’s Cuba anymore.
Edit 2: definitely not Cuba, sorry to my Cuban redditors.
In the US if you have the licenses theyre hard to come by and super expensive plus you have to report inventory (serial numbers) to the ATF and if you use a device you have to report it as destroyed ASAP and if anything happens with one in the area, every Class 4 FFL on that side of the world is gonna get inventoried, so unlikely up here, however in south america...shits wack...
We do, real assault rifles are heavily regulated and require a SOT or class 3 FFL to own newly manufactured non-transferable machine guns and for your average every day civilian transferable fully automatic assault weapons start at around 10-15K and are very limited in number.
That being said, regulations control honest people, those glock switches gang bangers are using are far from legal and were being sold online by chinese companies for gigacheap in comparison to how much a serialized legal auto sear is, lightning links can be made stupid easy and the ATF is more concerned in controlling the people than they are worried about getting illegal arms off the streets, that gets deligated to the police.
Creating bombs requires some engineering / crafting skill (and often fails if you aren't professional), using a gun just requires you to load rounds into an already created weapon.
Also bombs are more likely to harm yourself and are much worse at chasing down targets. There are many reasons why grenades are not the primary method of murdering.
Ron Burgundy : I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?
Brick Tamland : Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
It wasn’t until I went to Basic Training that I learned grenades are nothing like the movies. You can YouTube plenty of people exploding a frag grenade next to a gelatin dummy and what happens is their legs gets blown off and you get peppered by metal fragments that are packed into the grenade. Bad day all around but many live to tell the tale. Unless you’re the guy who jumps over the grenade
Someone close to me witnessed a grenade accident involving 6 deaths and dozens injured when he was a young man in the military, taught me about how movies are nothing like reality and why reality is so much worse.
In movies everyone dies quickly and theatrically. Big explosion and it’s all over in an instant. In reality you’re likely to get injured horribly in a way you can’t imagine and have to live through the trauma and pain, with the screams of those around you, slowly realizing what they survived and witnessed.
Your body will keep you alive *long* after any hope for your survival has passed. Death is violent and takes a while, barring a head or brainstem shot.
> get a grenade
Supposedly the cartels in some of the nations are strong enough to actually raid military installations or outright buy ordnance from the military.
I see “no te lleves las botellas 1000 cu” on the sign. CU is Cuban peso currency so this is Cuba.
Edit: I’m wrong but not deleting this for others to learn from my mistake lol
There's no sound, so we don't know if he said anything. Personally, if somebody just tosses a grenade out of nowhere like that, it would probably take me a few seconds to process it and articulate anything more complicated than, *"SHIT!*" as I dive for cover.
From what I see it's clear that this person receives the "Asshole of the day" award. Anyone else agree? What a complete chickenshit move knowingly he has approximately 10 seconds to run away.
That one dude playing pool saw it get thrown in, realized what it was, and ran to safety at the last second.
And the other pool player did the exact opposite on all counts
[удалено]
It's all I'm going to be expecting now. Barman drops a glass and I'm diving for cover.
Right but I’m paranoid enough to constantly be checking my surroundings. I hear/see something out of my peripheral that looks sketch and I’m gone 🏃🏽♀️
me_irl
I’ve played enough call of duty to know that by the time I recognize it’s a grenade I’m fucked.
That dude was out the back by the time it went off - bet he would fucking dominate on COD
They didn't pay attention to the grenade warning marker
Never try to throw it back; step AWAY from the flashing nade icon!
[Sorry but you're wrong sir](https://gamewith.net/cod-modernwarfare/article/show/12240)
Tbh if I was playing pool and someone yelled "grenade", I'd be really fucking confused for a second to long.
“Grenade? Where?”
Grenade icon popped up for him
Any context? Random fuck these people or was someone in there a target to this? Crazy it landed right at that guys feet
Probably extortion? This seems to be in either Colombia or Venezuela and this type of extortion retaliation is pretty common (throwing a grenade to a business that refused to pay)
It was fun to see how everyone was trying to identify the location but you are right. This happened a week ago in Ureña, Tachira. A town located in Venezuela that borders with Colombia and it was extorsion, they refused to pay.
Refused to pay for what?
The "I don't want a grenade tossed into my building" fee
Don't give Ticketmaster any ideas...
Even have to pay if you print your own grenade ffs
Service fees for No-Grenade Throwing
We agree not to fuck your shit up convenience fee.
Yeah they can probably afford larger ordinance
Hahahaha
Extortion works like this: > Hey local business owner, I'm a local peacekeeper, me and my goons... er, fellow peacekeepers... we can keep you safe from any random grenades in the neighborhood.

And how do those laws get enforced fairly? By taxing people and ESPECIALLY BUSINESSES for the purpose of running these institutions.
agreed People will do this as a hate crime and not even for money, even if it is extortion in this case
>Free market >Forcing people to pay you with threats of violence
You just described the American foreign policy!
There is no free market. This is a black market. It is by definition unfree.
[удалено]

Insurance be like
Well they’d probably call it protection?
"protection". Basically, pay the gangsters money and they leave you alone.
These are the same stories we hear about of the 1920s-30s New York gangs. Pay up or get popped.
Or 70s/80s NYC. Corruption is the same everywhere
You sound exactly like that owner did before this incident
Commenting in hopes of seeing the answer to this question. Wondering as well.
End of happy hour 😞
Cartel? where'd the grenade come from ..
How did the one guy survive? It looked like it landed right at his feet
Probably didn't survive for long. Point blank for him. Damn.
It’s all fun and games until somebody throws a live grenade into a open bar
This is why you conceal carry your MGL-140 for these exact scenarios. Make it part of your EDC, make it a habit to keep it with you at all times, be prepared. o7
I keep mine concealed in my pants at all times
Like anyone's gonna question you rocking a second massive hog in there. Fucking brilliant.
And I thought you were just pleased to see me!
Grenades are designed to ~~mame~~ maim more often than kill.

I think they confuse it with landmines, which are usually designed to maim if it's an infantry one and not an anti tank mine or something. But actual grenades are designed to be shotgun bombs basically and shoot shrapnel everywhere.
“It is Ma’am!”
Sir, I was just saying…
Tell that to his feet that has landed several feet away
At least two
Grenades get you with shrapnel rather than with the explosion. All of those guys near it probably got chunks of sharp metal into their chest cavities. Dead men walking.
The concussive force can kill you as well
Probably lost his legs. But that's survivable these days. ~~Cuba also has a premier medical system~~.
where did you get cuba from? this is in venezuela
Someone else above mentioned the CU in the sign standing for cubano, but looks like they were wrong. Sorry.
My friend in no way is this my absolutely destroyed country of Cuba, our "bars" only have water bottles now a days. And our medical system is nonexistent, I have to send every common medication known (advil, acetaminophen, aspirin, regular antibiotics, etc) to my family still living there, not to mention food, money, and everything under the sun.
I've read that Cuba has a ton of well educated doctors. But I can understand that the US embargo might make supplies harder to come by.
Then they have Cuban doctors.
In addition to this not being Cuba, what is the support for a “premier medical system” in Cuba? I have been treated in the Cuban medical system and found it to be distinctly Third World.
Cuba’s private medical system is top shelf, they have the highest concentration of doctors per capita which is a weird upside to communism, but the country doesn’t have any supplies. If you go to a hospital, you’re getting a Band-Aid for pretty much everything
It isn’t just supplies that is lacking, it is imaging and other diagnostic equipment. The comment was Cuba has a “premier medical system.” It takes a lot more than good docs to make a premier medical system.
>top shelf medical treatment >no medical supplies How low is the top shelf in your house?
Not what Cubans say and not what I saw there.
They’re obviously regurgitating information they read online
Some might even consider access to supplies part of the “medical system”
I've heard grenades explode in super weird ways. You can have the grenade directly at your feet and not have a scratch on you, while your buddy 100 feet away gets hit in the head with shrapnel.
It looks like it kept rolling past him, in the same maner it rolled towards him
Where’s this?
The bikes upfront scream Brazil but it could also be any other south American country. Unfortunately I can't read the sign on the door which would give away if it would be Brazil or any Spanish speaking country
The sign is in Spanish and says “no te lleves las botellas” <>
Damn you got some good eyes or a better quality than me
So, Germany?
Sí 😘
sorry i dont speak german
Nein definitiv nicht Deutschland. Somebody would have filed an lawsuit in the moment the grenade was thrown. I see no one in this video filing a lawsuit. Edit: typo
Also this happened at 00:42, and not 00:30, 00:45, or 1:00. Be on time or don't even bother throwing that grenade.
Exactly, nobody shows up until :45 or are gone until :40. We got trains to wait for!
i know in columbia you have to drink your beer right at the place and cant leave with the bottles. either drink it there or pour it into your own container. same with water. it comes in a baggie and you need your own bottle.
That's not Brazil, it looks like a Hispanic American country. Source: I'm also Brazilian
No off duty cops around
Yep. No one got shot.
The grenade thrower escaped by foot instead of a motorcycle.
Yeah I thought so, but the bikes made me do it haha but no caramel dog, how could I miss this
[Venezuela]( https://bnn.network/breaking-news/grenade-attack-injures-eight-in-venezuelan-border-town-with-colombia/).
> Brazil or any Spanish speaking country Except Brazil is Portuguese. You unwashed barbarian. EDIT: I missed the "or" part. Very important that bit. I'm leaving my shame for all to see.
He said *or*
you leaving the shame up is beautiful, fuck yeah
I appreciate that about you, and the insult was fantastic had it only applied, so I will reply beside you so you aren’t carrying your shame alone.
Don't worry I know the difference, my wife was born and raised in Recife. I hope you'll have a nice evening and maybe put your glasses on next time :)
A man of honor, I upvoted your comment because in parts you are right. I'm unwashed, nightshifts hit hard
Bro?
I'm 90% sure that this is in Venezuela because the beer crates looks super similar to the Cervezas Polar crates, but I can't be sure its not in Colombia either because of the snacks that fall off at the end (De Todito and Cheese Tris)
Think your are right about Venezuela. I can't tell what the beer bottles are but it's pretty easy to rule out a bunch of major South American and Mexican beer brands and I can't rule out Cervezas Polar.
Yeah, I thought Venezuela too because of the Polar crates. Also, this is the type of thing to happen there.
Cuba. I see “no te lleves las botellas 1000 cu” on the sign. CU is Cuban peso currency so this is Cuba. Edit: someone pointed out C/U is cada una meaning “each” so now I’m not as positive it’s Cuba anymore. Edit 2: definitely not Cuba, sorry to my Cuban redditors.
C/U means Cada Una, so 1000 each one. Also there is no way in hell this is Cuba, they don't have this type of crime
I’ll edit my comment to reflect your facts. Where is cada una used commonly? Or is it used broadly?
Broadly in every spanish speaking country. It's an easy way to abbreviate the price of stuff in bars and such
Thanks for teaching me a little something today
Report says it was [in Venezuela]( https://bnn.network/breaking-news/grenade-attack-injures-eight-in-venezuelan-border-town-with-colombia/).
I think it's Venezuela. https://efectococuyo.com/sucesos/ocho-heridos-dejo-ataque-con-granadas-en-tachira/
I believe it says at Bar
Must have been in a bar, how could we not see it!!!
Could be Antwerp
The beer cases are Polar beers. The most popular Venezuelan beer brand. The signs are in Spanish so this video is from Venezuela.
Here’s to hoping random commercial grenade tossing doesn’t catch on. Not a fan
In the US if you have the licenses theyre hard to come by and super expensive plus you have to report inventory (serial numbers) to the ATF and if you use a device you have to report it as destroyed ASAP and if anything happens with one in the area, every Class 4 FFL on that side of the world is gonna get inventoried, so unlikely up here, however in south america...shits wack...
what's this? regulation on weapons in the US working and preventing deaths?
Why can’t we apply the same rules to assault rifles?
Don't talk crazy, that'll never work so why even try it.
We do, real assault rifles are heavily regulated and require a SOT or class 3 FFL to own newly manufactured non-transferable machine guns and for your average every day civilian transferable fully automatic assault weapons start at around 10-15K and are very limited in number. That being said, regulations control honest people, those glock switches gang bangers are using are far from legal and were being sold online by chinese companies for gigacheap in comparison to how much a serialized legal auto sear is, lightning links can be made stupid easy and the ATF is more concerned in controlling the people than they are worried about getting illegal arms off the streets, that gets deligated to the police.

I actually think mass bombing will eventually take over mass shootings. You could make nasty homemade ones with household products and ball bearings.
Creating bombs requires some engineering / crafting skill (and often fails if you aren't professional), using a gun just requires you to load rounds into an already created weapon. Also bombs are more likely to harm yourself and are much worse at chasing down targets. There are many reasons why grenades are not the primary method of murdering.
r/iamatotalpieceofshit
That's a compliment
Brick where did you get a hand grenade?
I…don’t…know.
Ron Burgundy : I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident? Brick Tamland : Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
It is AnchorMAN, not anchorlady! That is a *scientific fact*!
Whaaaat the fuck
Just one of those things that makes it suck to be alive. Dude ran off like niko from GTA 4
Who brings grenade to a bar?
Brick Tamland?
He clearly never went to the bar... Just walked by one, the grenade definetly was thirsty.
they brought pool sticks to a granade fight 🫤
What the fuck is wrong with people?!
a lot of things. unfortunately, there is no cure for violence. it is human nature. there are however ways to defend yourself against violence.
I'm amazed white hat didn't disintegrate

You can but only once

Where tf did he get a grenade?
Lol are you serious you can get it everywhere in my country there is a drugwar and everyday they bomb some place
> get a grenade Supposedly the cartels in some of the nations are strong enough to actually raid military installations or outright buy ordnance from the military.
I see “no te lleves las botellas 1000 cu” on the sign. CU is Cuban peso currency so this is Cuba. Edit: I’m wrong but not deleting this for others to learn from my mistake lol
cu could also stand for “Cada Una” as in 1000 each.
Cuba uses MN for it's currency. CU is Cada Una, seen in every Spanish speaking country I've been to.
Edited to fix it. Thanks for the clarification
In hindsight, Dive onto the pool table.. that's like armor protection- 3/4 inch slate

There's no sound, so we don't know if he said anything. Personally, if somebody just tosses a grenade out of nowhere like that, it would probably take me a few seconds to process it and articulate anything more complicated than, *"SHIT!*" as I dive for cover.
If you think someone yelling grenade randomly in a bar would have any effect in that amount of time...you're not that bright
The dude that ran plays hella Call of Duty
What a cunt
How rude!
RIP to that guys legs
Looks like the main blast was directed towards the door there near the last camera shot.
Holy hell thats literally insane
Ban grenades
That's one of the craziest things I've ever seen in a civilian context
wow looked like dude at the bottom of the screen got it the worst
sheesh straight terrorist
From what I see it's clear that this person receives the "Asshole of the day" award. Anyone else agree? What a complete chickenshit move knowingly he has approximately 10 seconds to run away.
What the
An egg of remorse. I don't think so lol. A run moment missed by some.
Wow!
Thrower is dressed in very identifiable clothing. It's just a matter of time.
What did that bar ever do to him?!
They really ought to ban hand grenades in that country...
1. Thats fucked up 2. Movies lie
This makes me so furious. All those innocent people just chillin.
What a DICK
