Number 8 Terrion Pouncy On October the 31st of 2017,
two employees of the Maxwell Street Express hot dog venue were held at gunpoint on Chicago’s
South Side. The culprit, subsequently identified as 19-year-old Terrion Pouncy, demanded cash from
the two unnamed men, reported as aged 39 and 45. The teenager, whose social media featured
a picture of him with a stack of bills and an air mattress in the background, allegedly held
the handgun pressed against the younger man’s head. As the pair handed their wallets over,
a bucket of grease spilled over and the money was sent flying. Pouncy collected the bills, tucked
the handgun in his waistband and fled the scene. In a karmic twist of events, as he ran away,
the loaded gun went off in his pants and a bullet clipped his manhood. He was left in severe pain
and reportedly called 911 from a few blocks away claiming he’d been shot. Law enforcement arrested
him at Christ Hospital, where they recovered the workers’ wallets along with a .38 caliber
firearm. Pouncy was charged with two counts of armed robbery and denied bond in the aftermath.
Number 7 South London Karma An unidentified man, who was only
reported as being in his 20s, accidentally shot himself in Sydenham, South London, in the fall
of 2019. According to eyewitnesses, a group of men were sitting in a car by a Lloyds Bank when they
were approached by a “big guy” wearing a balaclava and armed with a shotgun. The vehicle’s occupants
ran off and weren’t harmed but reports differed on what followed. Since his intended targets had
gotten away, the man tried to inflict damage on their car. In one version of events, he fired at
the window and was struck with a ricochet. Another witness claimed that he was hitting the window
with the back of the weapon when it went off in his hands. He immediately collapsed in front of
a black Peugeot and remained motionless. Three of his presumed accomplices, all similarly-clad
and wearing balaclavas, got close and stood next to him, with one gesturing wildly to the others
while shouting “He shot himself!” They then fled before the Metropolitan Police arrived to cordon
off the area and start investigating the incident. The shooter was pronounced dead at the scene and
reports released to the media in the days that followed indicated that no arrests had been made.
Number 6 Isaac Bonsu While trying to evade law
enforcement in Alexandria, Virginia, a 30-year-old man was run over by his own vehicle. The incident,
captured by a dashcam, took place in the spring of 2018. Fairfax County Police initiated a traffic
stop after spotting a car that had illegal window tint. The driver, Isaac Bonsu, led the cruisers
on a chase before eventually deciding to abandon his vehicle and flee on foot. He neglected to put
it in park and jumped out, as the car was still moving. Bonsu started running towards the side
of the road and initially got in front of the vehicle but wasn’t fast enough to avoid it. He
was consequently run over and briefly disappeared under the hood. Bonsu sustained minimal injuries
in the self-inflicted accident. He quickly got up and tried to continue his flight from justice
but his momentum had been impeded by the car strike long enough for an officer to catch up
to him. Bonsu was charged with driving while intoxicated for a third time, according to his
criminal record, in addition to felony hit-and-run and having an illegal window tint on his car. Some
of the online users reacting to the incident remarked that it was a powerful example of
karma at work, with some flavoring their quips by replacing the “k” in the word with a “c”.
Number 5 Lamborghini Driver In the summer of 2018,
car enthusiasts gathered in Key West, Florida, for an event called Autopride. During the rally,
the driver of a Lamborghini Huracan decided to go the extra mile for the crowd who’d gathered
to watch the supercars parading through the city’s main street. The unnamed man got out
of the high-performance car and made sure that people were taking pictures before jumping onto
its windshield and posing. Within seconds, his showboating was thwarted by karma when the glass
cracked under his feet and the windshield became indented. The driver maintained the pose he’d
adopted, seemingly unaffected by the incident. His female companion, who’d previously been
cheering while hanging out of the passenger’s side window, was visibly distressed by the damage. Upon
returning to the vehicle, estimated at several hundred thousand dollars, the driver immediately
clutched his face in embarrassment. Reacting to the incident, one Reddit user theorized that,
while windshields are generally fairly strong, the Huracan’s could’ve already had a crack in
it. The break would’ve thus caused it to shatter further under the stress of the driver’s weight.
Number 4 Joe Sotello A 52-year-old woman from Kingsport,
Tennessee responded to a knock on her door in the spring of 2017. She opened it and
was met by a younger woman who was holding a flyer about a missing dog. Within seconds,
a masked man grabbed the unidentified homeowner, shouted “This is a robbery!” and tried to pull her
outside. She managed to partially remove his mask in the struggle and instantly recognized him as
Joe Sotello, a 34-year-old longtime family friend. In spite of being over a foot shorter and 100
pounds lighter than Sotello, the homeowner grabbed a baseball bat and started fiercely fighting back,
striking the man in the face. She received support from two 18-year-old females who were inside the
home at the time and the trio drove Sotello to the front lawn. The woman who’d held the dog flyer,
later identified as the would-be robber’s girlfriend and accomplice, drove away in their
car. Sotello had tried getting into the vehicle with her but couldn’t break free from the women’s
charge. He eventually managed to run away and was later arrested, with a processing photo
showing him with a swollen face. He admitted to the robbery attempt, claiming “he’d been going
through some hard times.” Number 3 Thomas Scala
On November the 26th of 2010, New York man Thomas Scala struck his wife with a can of peas at their
Staten Island residence. The man had recently returned from Staten Island State University
Hospital, where he’d spent a few a days for treatment reportedly connected to his diabetes.
He became enraged that Blanche, his 59-year-old spouse, hadn’t paid the $5.75-a-day fee for him
to watch cable TV during his hospitalization. The man was said to have exerted full authority over
their TV set at home and would attack Blanche whenever he caught her watching anything.
The woman was left with a brain injury after Scala had assaulted her. On November the 19th,
about a week later, the injury began to hemorrhage when he smashed the can of peas over her head. The
police took two domestic violence reports, but Blanche refused to press charges. She
complained of nausea and headaches before going to bed on November the 26th and was
found dead on the sofa the following day. Her passing was ruled a homicide after an autopsy
determined she’d succumbed to blunt force trauma associated with the successive beatings. Scala,
then in his 50s, eventually pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide and was slated
to be sentenced to five years of probation on July the 24th of 2012. He would actually end up
being buried on that day after a fatal accident at his Tottenville home. On July the 12th, Scala
choked on a piece of chicken bone and was found unresponsive. He died about a week later at Staten
Island University Hospital. Blanche’s sister, who’d once referred to Scala as a sociopath,
later told a media outlet “He got what he deserved. He's a chicken. The chicken got served”.

Leading up to August the 18th of 2008, bartender Gregory McCalium had long been feuding with his
neighbors, over the noise he was making at his home in Botley, Oxfordshire, England. On that
date, the police turned up at his home following a complaint. He assumed that it had been made
by Frank Corti, a man in his early 70s. The next day, at around 8 am, he broke into Corti’s home,
armed with a bladed knuckle duster, intending to rob him. He’d expected to find a defenseless
elderly man but, in his youth, Corti had been a champion boxer in addition to serving with the
Royal Engineers in North Africa from 1956 to 1958. Corti, who was home with his wife at the time,
intercepted 24-year-old McCalium and dodged when he lunged at him with the knife. In spite
of being three times the burglar’s senior, he then landed two devastating punches to his head
during the ensuing struggle. Corti, who suffered minor injuries, subdued the dazed McCalium, who
was also reportedly intoxicated at the time, until the authorities arrived to take him into custody.
The latter’s processing photo showed him with a severely blackened eye and lip, injuries that
left him looking like he’d been in an accident, according to court documents. Corti’s stand made
headlines while McCalium was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for aggravated burglary.
Number 1 Niesha Harris-Brazell Niesha Harris-Brazell, a Milwaukee
Burger King employee in her late teens, was shot and killed during a robbery gone wrong, on January
the 2nd of 2022. At the time, Harris-Brazell was working the night shift alongside her best friend,
Mariah Edwards. Surveillance footage caught a Chevy Impala pull up to the drive-thru window.
A man with a facemask then got out, crawled through the window and began waving a gun,
demanding cash from Harris-Brazell. She scrambled to get the money out of the register while crying
out for help but was ultimately shot. It was initially believed that the robber had gunned
her down for taking too long with the cash. However, closer examination of the surveillance
footage revealed that he’d never fired his weapon. Harris-Brazell’s fellow employee, Derrick Ellis,
had responded to her distressed pleas and shot at the robber, but inadvertently hit her
instead. 35-year-old Ellis fled the scene in the immediate aftermath because, as a felon, he was
banned from carrying a handgun. He would later be arrested and, as part of a plea negotiation,
the negligent homicide charge was dropped and he only pleaded guilty to gun possession. The
investigation was marked by a disturbing twist, when the masked robber was eventually revealed as
41-year-old Antoine Edwards, Mariah’s father. According to a criminal complaint, the teen,
her father and Harris-Brazell had staged the robbery together. They’d planned to hit the
Burger King location on a day when they knew the cash register, to which Harris-Brazell was usually
assigned, would be full. Edwards admitted to the staged robbery but tried to insulate Mariah,
claiming that Harris-Brazell had been his only accomplice. Ellis, who’d attempted to
protect the teenager but ended up accidentally killing her, was not in on the plan. Edwards was
subsequently charged with felony murder and possession of a firearm by a felon.
