Hi!
A few nights ago I clicked on the TV—which is getting more and more rare for me these days.
It was set to Quest TV—which was running a show called Most Daring at that time—and it featured several security videos of people fighting back against violent criminals.
Because of the situations unfortunate victims found themselves in—the videos were both enthralling and horrifying to watch—but I also found myself having a hearty laugh at the complete stupidity of the bungling crooks in two of them.
----------------------
In the first one, a petite woman was getting her day starting at a Loan Office, when a very tall man entered through the door and immediately jumped over the counter, and violently grabbed hold of her.
She began valiantly fighting back—but the large man was easily over-powering her—and she wound up on the ground with the crook on top of her.
He forced her to open the safe near where she was—and give him all the money that was in it.
Then the security footage shows him trying to put duct-tape around her head and mouth—while she bravely fights back.
Thankfully, within moments—something scares him off and he runs away leaving her shaken but otherwise unharmed.
The best part is that she recognized the dope because he'd been in that same office a few days before applying for a loan with with her.
The dumb crook had even conveniently used his real name and address on the application he filled out.
So she was able to immediately look up all the information he provided—and gave it to the police—who in turn were waiting for him at his home before he could even get there.
DERP!

-------------------------------
The second story on the program showed a clerk working behind a counter at a video store—when a "customer" walked in who wanted to enter an "adult" section.
The worker was required to verify the man's age using his driver's license—and after he does—the guy heads off-camera into that section.
After a while, the security footage shows the guy leaving—but a short time later he returns claiming he forgot something.
The clerk allows him to go back into that area—but seconds later the supposed "customer" sneaks up behind the worker—and begins choking him with a phone cord—attempting to over-power him and rob the place.
A life and death struggle ensues—all with the cord around his neck getting tighter and tighter—and the worker says that he felt himself nearly blacking out from a lack of oxygen as he and the man violently thrash around.
Fortunately—the clerk manages to grab a stun-baton kept behind the counter for his protection and begins using it on the thug.
As the creep gets one massive massive jolt of electricity after another—he starts screaming and begins trying to flee.
As he tries to climb over the counter—the now determined worker keeps giving him some lovely jolts from the baton to his backside—and the former tough guy becomes weaker and weaker from its obviously powerful effects.
The clerk continues to zap the guy while he pleads with him to stop and as he crawls his way to the business entrance—until he is literally in a heap in the doorway—and is completely incapacitated and unable to move.
At that point, the worker rushes off to get a phone to call 911 leaving the vanquished crook on the ground.
Unfortunately, while the clerk is on the phone with police—the robber recovers a little—and another security camera captures him weakly getting up and limping away.
It was satisfying to see a baddy get some of the medicine he was trying to dish out—but then the program reveals that the alert worker remembered "stun-boy's" name from his driver's license—and the police were able to locate and arrest him a few days later!
