LOL - to each their own, guess I'm a sucker for the beautiful young gal who faces the guy down and draws against a gun already pointed at her to win the day.

I remember reading about the coffee shop one. I did enjoy the Home alone a little more.
I think I enjoyed it more because they made it more suspenseful, and more of us can relate directly to that one. Although I think in both videos, the victims made one mistake. At least in my opinion.

In the coffee shop video, even though she had him at gun point, she admitted that there became a point to where she lost visual of him. That's very, very dangerous.

In the Home Alone video, he announced his presence downstairs. I think he just gave up the element of surprise. What if those crooks were there for more than a simply burglary?

Others may disagree with me, but that's how I feel. If I wasn't able to make my presence known BEFORE they broke in, then I wouldn't want to give up my location for them by announcing where I am, and that I'm armed.

GREAT VIDIO'S I for one am very glad the kid had the presence of mind NOT to do as the dispatch told him and hide in the bathroom. Had he done that he would have placed himself in a fatal funnel and had less room to manuver and that is NEVER good. When will the Police force start doing a better job of training these dispatchers? I might agree if he had been unarmed because at that point he would need to, But beings as he had told her he was armed she shouldn't have told him to hide IMHO?

She is a beautiful young lady and very lucid in her presentation. A fine example and spokesman for those who chose to go armed.
