- I happened to have "Hardcopy" playing on the TV tonite (12/29/92) and
- saw some incredible video. They are doing a series called "Caught on
- Tape". They showed two amazing sequences taken from surveillance cameras.
- The first was an attempted holdup of an armored car at a mall. The
- surveillance camera caught this guy with money bags in his hands turning
- a corner and just as he did, he dropped with two bullets in the back.
- A moment later, the armored car guard, himself shot in the gut by the
- punk, came around the corner. The guard went to the hospital; the
- punk went to the morgue.
-
- Even more amazing was the next segment taken from a convenience store
- camera. Four mexican armed robbers stormed in and hopped the counter.
- They robbed the cash register. In the instant the punks turned their
- backs on the owner, he pulled what looked like a 9 mm automatic and
- killed all 4. He appeared to know what he was doing, discharging 6
- shots in a little over 3 seconds. None had a chance to react. All
- dropped like rags. This addresses the concept that a gunshot victim
- is "blown down" by the shot. Of course, it was only a 9mm :-)
-
- Another video, unrelated to guns showed a fellow arrested on drunk driving
- punching himself in the face after telling the cops he was going to
- get them for brutality. The funny part was he bragged about how much
- embarrasment there was going to be.
-
- In other news tonite, the local news reported a woman kidnapped and raped
- after the rapist took her to his house and chained her to the bed.
- He fell asleep after raping the woman. She got loose from her chains,
- got his gun and killed him. Police say there will be no charges filed.
-
- BTW, if anyone got a tape of "Hardcopy", I'd LOVE to have a copy.
