We're Officially Obsessed With This Guy Who Straight Up Refused To Hand Over His Louis Vuitton Bag To An Armed Robber

An attempted robbery didn't go the way the robber intended. When the perpetrator tried to take his victim's bag, he found more trouble than he expected.


Jerad Kluting was walking home from running errands when he saw a man approach him.

The attempted robbery was very quick.

Kluting told Buzzfeed News,

"It's like a premonition when you feel a threat."

The would-be robber covered his mouth with a bandana and pulled a gun from his waistband. He then demanded Kluting's Louis Vuitton bag.

It was obvious the thief wasn't messing around, but something clicked inside Kluting.

"You're not getting my Louis Vuitton,"

He told the robber.

"I worked very hard for this and this bag I've had forever and it means a lot to me."

Kluting had coveted the bag long before he owned it. He spent time saving up over $1700 to purchase the designer accessory.

Can you really blame him?





This didn't impress the perpetrator. He fired two shots next to Kluting and demanded the bag again.

"That's when I turned and ran north. He pursued me that time and he fired two more shots. On the fourth one his gun jammed and he had to reload it."

Kluting was scared a shot would hit him. However, when he turned to look back, he saw the robber running away from the scene.

After, he was able to report the incident to the police who quickly found and arrested a suspect. The 21-year-old who was arrested had a stolen handgun on his person.

In the aftermath, Kluting has said this wasn't really about the bag.

"Yes, I do love Louis Vuitton, but I wasn't going to be intimidated by this bully."
"That bag has even more meaning to me now, but it was about not backing down. It was the difference between right and wrong. In that moment, I made a split-second decision."

After his story started getting national attention, Kluting said he's been called a hero.







However, he doesn't consider himself one.

He said:

"Gun violence is a national issue,"
"The kids and parents of Santa Fe and Parkland are heroes."

His story happened just days before the shooting at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas. Ten people died in the incident.

Kluting feels lucky, as he believes the first two shots were merely warning shots, but the next ones were meant to kill.

While he has no regrets about how he handled the situation, he does admit that he would probably give it up should he be attacked in the future. It's the safer option.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
