    Agreed. But, only if he waited a while before plugging the scumbag. If he toasted him right away, it wouldn't be as entertaining.

    It would have saved me the anguish of having to watch that fiasco.

    The owner should have hit his wife to shut her up or at least teach
    her how to hit someone over the head with a chair.

    I'll bet she attacks the fridge with greater ferocity.

    Greetings,

    This really bothers me that they didn't have a firearm. I think they stood up well, but had the robber had a weapon they all would be dead. It took twenty minutes for Police to arrive? God bless my emergency response here in Port Orange,Fl they were at my place in minutes when needed.

    Do remember that this is from the UK, where gun control is in effect, however the response time from the police was criminal as well......there are several good points that are shown on the video, I could describe them, but I was hoping that after you see the footage you would learn them....if you pick up the points, post...

    Actually, the shop owners are lucky the idiot did not have a gun.... trying to keep a robber 'locked inside' is not a very good idea, even though it worked out ok in this situation. If the idiot robber had a gun, there would have been dead brave shop owners....

    Hey Jon, the first thing I see that tips me off is the guy is wearing gloves, he takes one off, and then he puts it back on.

    Ding Ding Ding, better be very careful with this guy

    I wish every jerk off that is against gun ownership could see that one.

    I am surprised that the guy did not sue for false imprisonment caused by the door locking and keeping him there against his will. He would have probably won and owned the store by now.

    Oh wait ... I thought the video was from the US. Nevermind!image

    Mental illness, yeah. Mental illness for thinking that he can get away with excuses for his cowardly brutality. Yuck.

    you need gun control to protect your coins.....



    If you can`t control the gun, you can`t hit your target.
    If you can read this, your too close.

    What they should have done is allowed him to go thru the first door sooner...
    then trapped him between the doors.

    It would have saved them a whole bunch of grief.
