Signs of Danger and a Crime: Store Robbery Caught on Video

Aug 24, 2009

Watch this video a couple of times.

Watch the two people at the counter, they pick up on a couple of things that make them a little wary because they check out the two people that have just entered the business.

What we see are two people enter the store with their hands in their pockets, and the first one is fidgeting with what turns out to be a gun.

They are "friends" yet enter in a single file line with several feet between themselves. You'd expect them to be walking together as they approached the store, only separating as they entered through the doorway. Then it would be normal for them to stand together.

See the intensity of how they look towards their destination, when we enter a business it is more normal to glance at all parts of the area, to quickly gain an understanding of the space and to see if their are friends or foes around.

The leader is walking around, adrenaline is running through his system. He turns his back, this is to gain the courage... it is at this point where he will either chicken out or make his move...

Even though we do not see it is this case a couple of other signs of immediate danger are: are balling up hands into fist; some sort of slap of hands, chest thump, stomp of feet- something to get the blood going, eye intensity, sweat developing on the upper lip or brow, deep intake of breath.

It turns out these two victimize the clerk and still remain at large in the LA area.◦
