'Talk About Cleaning Up In Aisle Six': Greg Gutfeld Commends Brave 7-Eleven Clerks Who Fought Off Criminal

On Thursday's evening show of 'Gutfeld!,' host Greg Gutfeld commended a number of 7-Eleven employees who fought off criminals robbing their store in Stockton, California earlier this week.

"So you ever watch something that brings a special joy to your heart, even though you feel like you shouldn't like it, it's gross and dirty. Like, besides this show. Well, a 7-Eleven in Stockton, California, almost became yet another victim of the wave of brazen theft sweeping the country," Gutfeld remarked, as reported by Fox News Digital. "Gone are the days when shoplifting meant putting a Snickers in your pocket, then telling the cashier you're just glad to see them. Now, shoplifting means lifting the whole shop at once and humiliating you in the process."

The video shows a thief rummaging through the cigarettes behind the counter before being confronted by the attendent and another man. After being caught, the two men then beat the thief with a large wooden bat.

"Infuriating to watch, right?" Gutfeld remarked about the video. "Even worse. It got me in the mood for a smoke. But we all feel how the people in that store must feel, hopeless. Which is a weird thing when you're told law and order exists. We know it doesn't anymore. So this looks like all the other smash and grab videos we're seeing every damn day. Just another criminal getting away with it. It's true. Haagen-Dazs and toothpaste get locked up while the thieves roam free, and it's happening everywhere."

"It's okay to clap," Gutfeld said in response to the beatdown. "I mean, talk about cleaning up in aisle six. I haven't seen a beat down like that since Larry Kudlow tried to try on Tyrus's belt. That's my kind of convenience store. Where thieves get their asses conveniently beat 24-hours a day. And thank you, don't come again."

"Now, don't get me wrong, I don't like that it gives me joy to see a man hit with a stick," the host explained. "Even if my Google search history says otherwise. Oh, look at that. It's unknown if the perp was armed, but clearly he acts like it. He's lucky he was hit with a stick and not a bullet."

"So what are the clerks supposed to do? Wait to find out? So I got to be honest, I loved every second of that because I love justice," the comedian continued. "I love seeing someone being punished after threatening their victims and then the victim exacting the punishment, and be honest, so did you. It's like we all felt it at once. It's clear who the bad guys are."

"So is it any wonder that we cheer the tired, hardworking minority shopkeepers when they literally fight crime? You know, it's not just stuff for insurance premiums," the Fox host stated. "These scumbags are stealing the time these business owners sacrificed, the early mornings, their vacations they gave up to feed their families and serve their communities. They're the good guys and the bad guys, be glad that stick didn't end up somewhere else jerk face."

"So kudos to that 7-Eleven guy for doing what needed to be done," he concluded, adding, "He just showed us that when it comes to the carrot and the stick, **** the carrot and get the stick."

Gutfeld is right. As crime continues to ransack liberal cities across the country, ordinary Americans will need to start taking action into their own hands. The two men did the right thing in teaching this thief a lesson.
