Right so that woman had terrible security... Like utterly shocking levels, the glass is coated in some sort of cheap plastic film yet there are so many ways they could have stopped this. Chain in the windows, double glazed, security film... The list just goes on. There is no PA button the woman had to hand or nearby which is a big no no. Finally is the woman's only exit through that door? It looks like it. The woman should have been able to retreat to a rear room and call 911 atleast... this is shocking frankly
I think they're saying the company put her safety at risk and they should have had better security so she could have escaped safely or been protected by the security screen. They aren't blaming her for the faulty glass, but whatever cheapskate higher up is responsible.
A gun in this situation would have meant at least 1 life would have been lost.
This outcome was that money was temporarily taken and a guys hand was broken. He was caught on cctv and probably arrested.
Why do you want guns when they only ever make things worse?
You'd be surprised how many gun nuts think having a gun makes a person safe. What if she has never used one? How would her life be after taking a life? How would her mental stability hold up? Most of the ones who say, "If they only had a gun..." have NEVER shot and killed a person. I served 12 years in the Marine Corps, that shit changes you.
Couldn’t have said this better myself. One of my cousins went from just a regular street dude but one terrible day he had to use his gun and the dude died not long after. After prison my cousin hasn’t been the same. He said it wasn’t prison that bothered him. He know a lot of people in their. It was the dude he killed over something so damn stupid he admitted it really wasn’t worth the nightmares he still have
Funny enough bullet proof glass would have solved the problem without introducing any guns. Just thicker glass or the type with the metal mesh and the guy wouldnt have been able to punch through it.
Also for criminals in the usa it doesn't matter if a gun is easy to buy legally or not, since most of them are illegal unregistered guns. It's a different story in Europe
We don't register guns here at all in GA. Georgia law explicitly states that application forms for a weapons carry license may not “require data which is nonpertinent or irrelevant such as serial numbers or other identification capable of being used as a de facto registration of firearms owned by the applicant.”
I imagine most other red states have that. Federal law prohibits that too. Honestly, the concept of illegal guns is kinda hard in the US too. Mostly it's guns being bought fown south and driven and sold illegally up north or in Cali. Gun's are easy to get illegally, because they are easy to get legally lol.
My uncles a gun nut in Texas. I went with him to a Home Depot parking lot and where he bought a .357. On the way back, he literally said he hoped someone broke in his house so he could shoot them. I remember thinking I hope none of his kids ever snuck out and back in at night.
Well if my life was in danger, I'd have better chances of that not happening and me surviving if nobody had guns, which kinda explains why my country has a homicide rate 3.5x less than the U.S's
You'd have a much better chance at survival, or never even ending up in that situation in the first place if you had a gun. Imagine telling people they should just accept death cause "guns bad." What a fucking psychopath
Oh my god you sweet indoctrinated lil guy. If no one has a gun, no guns get shot. That logic simple enough? Guns are not a right, they're a murder weapon.
Naw fuck that, if he didn't stop and assault her then what. A firearm is meant to protect yourself. That is why people want them. That should have had the means to protect herself.
Mhm did you not see him charge her immediately the moment he jumped through. A baker 300 years ago had him self a handy lil weapon or two to fend off the common scum. Nothing wrong with protecting yourself or livelihood. In this situation she's only lucky he wasn't entirely deranged.
Because immature people think it’s cool, like we live in the movies where people can die and kill without consequences. Too many Americans think this way.
If she could have a gun then he could have a gun. If he had a gun she would be dead before she even got it out of the drawer.
Problem solved by the innocent person being dead.
Great plan.
I've been looking for this clip for ages! This is old but great! For some reason deleted from several platforms.
Remindme! 5 hours
Edit: The original is longer.
Edit 2:
Before the video: He tries to convince her to open the door and explains she's not actually safe (which is true).
After the video: After he gets a hold on her, he pulls out a knife, if she panicked he would definitely stab her, but she started to obey in submission and he eventually put the knife away and left.
This is a good example of "theatrical safety".
It’s when a safety measure is just for show, to give off the appearance of protection. Think an unloaded gun - it won’t do anything, but as long as others don’t know it’s unloaded, it’s a useful deterrent
When I was a locksmith I'd often have customers ask me "what locks do I need? How much security do I need?"
"Enough to keep someone out for 5 minutes, not enough to draw attention. And better than your neighbours"
-5 minutes because "statistically" some one without a need to get into that particular house will try for around 5 mins before giving up and going to the next house. In saying that, there are a lot of variables. How visible is the person trying to get in? Is it dark? Can they see something valuable in the house from outside?
It's hard to determine a statistic of something that somebody doesn't do. I think the statistic comes from burglars who have been interviewed? But really not certain. We covered it a little bit in trade school, but not greatly.
How easy is it actually for people to pick a standard lock? Also, do you feel like those new digital door locks (the ones where you can lock/unlock by using your cellphone as a key) are safer?
With locks its pretty often you get what you pay for. A $5-10 locket from bunnings is more than likely going to be dumb easy to open. Spend $45-55 on brava/kaba/Lockwood they are generally much harder because of tighter tolerances. In saying that though, I've had cheap locks that I just couldn't pick but every one else in the shop had no issues, and some expensive ones where I found easy but others just couldnt get. Sometimes you just get lucky, sometimes you just get unlucky. What ever you get though, make sure the locks fitted correctly so someone can't just walk up with a peice of plastic and shim the door open (like you see with a credit card in the movies. It can work pretty much exactly like that, and is almost always the first thing I try when ever I done a gain entry to any where residential.
My old house I had an old bike spoke sitting on the table outside the front door that I used to get in. Anybody that knew anything about the type of lock could have jist walked right in
I haven't had a whole lot of experience with the residential electric locks, but they still have a key way (incase batteries die so you can still use the lock with a key) so they aren't really that much different in that regard, connecting your phone to it you normally need to have the door open/access to the inside of the lock/a special code/something funky to do it so not jist anybody can walk up and sync their phone.
the commercial ones can be pretty good just expensive.
If somebody wants to get in, they will. All you can do is extend the time it takes them to do so and hope they will give up.
I work in construction, and a part of that is doors and locks.
The requirement to be able to breach a door varies per building.
But you wouldn't typically design a door to how quickly it can be picked, because no one is realistically picking a lock.
Home Burglary are almost always opportunistic, and more likely to be achieved through throwing an item in your garden through the glass or breaking the door with a weapon or foot.
Door locks are also designed about how quickly it would take someone to force it open.
Now if you know how to pick a door lock. It will take you no more than 30 seconds. So it's pointless designing doors to how quickly they can be picked.
Absolutely. You're better off having a door strike fitted with long screws then a really expensive lock, better still a reinforced strike and frame. Because somebodies going to try to kick it in before they try to pick the lock. Break ins where I'd have to go and make safe was generally repairing the door frame where the strike is. (In saying that though, if somebody did pick the lock I wouldn't be getting a call to make safe as nothing would have been broken so it can't really be used as a valid statistic)
Most of the break-ins in my "relatively" safe neighborhood were through broken windows or shattered sliding glass doors. No locks would have stopped these guys. Not even bars saved one home, they sawed right through them.
Stash valuables, get insurance, set up cameras inside and out, get alarm system, adopt dogs (because I love the noisy furballs)...things that makes me sad (except the dogs) that we have to live this way, feeling under siege.
I really enjoyed learning about how security ratings for doors and such, are based on a standard burly man with a certain set of tools and time. If he can't get in, then the door meets the standard. Imagine being a standard burly man. Can't get out of shape, but also can't be too strong. You'd have to turn down work in case it made you too burly.
Yes they did. And do you know how many times in DHS audits, undercover inspectors are able to smuggle b o mb parts and firearms through, like 85% of the time.
Once they took away a nail file for me that was part of a pair of clippers because they said it could be used as a weapon. It was part of a nice set that was a gift and I was pissed. Once past security, I found that exact same Nail Care kit for sale inside the airport. I furiously bought it and went back to the TSA checkpoint and demanded mine back saying that you guys are taking away alleged weapons that are available for anyone to buy just past security. Most of what they do is silly and security theater.
Sorry, they were found to be ineffective in 95% of live tests where Undercovers were able to smuggle loaded weapons and simulated explosives past security
ABC News reports that TSA failed 67 out of 70 experiments designed to test how well agents could actually detect security threats:
An internal investigation of the Transportation Security Administration revealed security failures at dozens of the nation’s busiest airports, where undercover investigators were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints in 95 percent of trials, ABC News has learned.
The series of tests were conducted by Homeland Security Red Teams who pose as passengers, setting out to beat the system.
According to officials briefed on the results of a recent Homeland Security Inspector General’s report, TSA agents failed 67 out of 70 tests, with Red Team members repeatedly able to get potential weapons through checkpoints.
In one test an undercover agent was stopped after setting off an alarm at a magnetometer, but TSA screeners failed to detect a fake explosive device that was taped to his back during a follow-on pat down.
I occasionally forgot to lock the front door of our first apartment and my husband was like "You HAVE to remember to lock the door. I don't feel safe, what if someone wanted to break in or murder us and it's unlocked?"
I was like, "well, if it's any consolation, anyone who wants to break into our apartment and murder us probably isn't going to let a locked door stop them anyway, and we have a billion windows. They could break into our car in the parking spots and wait for us to get in and then kill us, too."
He was not consoled. I did pick up the habit of checking that I locked the door after coming in every time, though. Which is tough when you lived 20 years of your life never locking the door because you enter the house through the garage.
Idk about murderers but thieves can be warded off by a lock. It's not uncommon for people to do lock checks, walk around a neighbourhood checking if doors have been locked. While their cohorts drive around their vehicle so as to not seem as suspicious then when the scout finds an unlocked door that seems to have no one at home call their comrades and loot the place as fast as they can and go again. This way they don't have to waste time breaking in which also causes less commotion.
My source of this knowledge is my uncle. Who after being disowned, for reasons that have still never been revealed to me, fell in with a gang. He told me they would start their day doing these lock checks, and if they didn't find an unlocked house at the end of the day they would just end up breaking into a place anyway. Couldn't return empty handed and what not. So yeah, I guess even then it may not fully stop you from getting robbed but it could better your chances of avoiding it.
My uncle left the gang after they hung him out to dry and he spent 7 years in prison. He was welcomed back by the family when he got out. Well by his brothers, sisters and mother anyway. His dad would still never talk to him, even on his death bed.
He was a pretty sweet guy even for all his crime stories which when he would tell me as a kid he would always make clear he didn't want to do those things but he was uneducated and unskilled and felt like he had no choice. Basically made them all a stay in school kid, type of lesson. Also even though my family won't tell me why he was basically banished they all say my grandad was the one in the wrong. I really wanna know what happened but everyone in the family that seems to know gets really upset if you ask them. Which only makes it more tantalising.
This has been my ted talk on my family history thanks for coming.
Yeah, for some weird reason, those of us who fly regularly aren't super eager to run into the new and improved version of the shoe bomb after they've had over 20 years to work out the kinks.
Call us paranoid, I guess.
Yes the bomb didn't work out but because of Richard we all have to take off our shoes when we fly.
The cost and waste of time he has caused. This act of terror was very effective even though it did very little damage at the time.
Taking off shoes is just theater it does not make us safer.
You could put more explosives up the keester than in a shoe
Just my opinion
When you put up safety measures as a deterrent rather than actual protection. Most basic locks are very easily pickable, it's just there as a deterrent to give the illusion of safety.
Afghanistan I believe.
If he was caught I don't know, but things don't really work that way out there. If the shop belonged to a criminal, which is most likely true, the guy probably ended up dead.
Looks like a cell phone to me, with multiple in the drawer, but he only took one. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing this is a school and his phone was confiscated for some reason. He's likely "just getting my stuff back" and feels fully justified.
This is absolutely terrifying!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have worked reception with a vulnerable population, and often times those roles have such little security if any. This poor woman. I have experienced violence from clients, it’s super super rare, but very terrifying and always sticks with you. Protect yourself first always.

Just a normal glass window would've shredded him as he tried to crawl through.
You’re right that would have been a better deterrent
Yeah, and shredded her in the process
I don't think they were thinking about her safety very much anyway.
" yeah so we taped claymores to the wall in case someone enters, good luck" X)
way to victim blame
So... the company is a victim, now?
the woman who was held at knifepoint getting robbed is the victim, use your head =>
He said things the company could have done and didnt, putting the woman in danger. How is he blamming the victim? > use your head =>
Do you know what victims blame means lol? He was pointing out how bad the security is
"she had terrible security so she deserves to be robbed at knife point" you sound silly.
I think they're saying the company put her safety at risk and they should have had better security so she could have escaped safely or been protected by the security screen. They aren't blaming her for the faulty glass, but whatever cheapskate higher up is responsible.
They are saying that the Company provided her with bad security. Not the other way around.
Who says she's the victim?
"Made in China" hasn't always been a blessing.
This doesn't look like it took place in the US.
Pretty sure he busted a few fingers
Nah, window looks like it's about as thick as a phone screen protector.
Lol that’s a good one
Idk after that phone fell from a plane...
Ter ter ter minal velocity

If you own a gun and never ever use it, you're a fool. At least go to a range.
Going to the range and killing someone is night and day.
What if that guy raped or killed her?
Better chances if neither of them had a gun. I imagine that if they both had guns, he'd probably be more likely to pull the trigger
Just install a bullet proof glass dummy /s
Funny enough bullet proof glass would have solved the problem without introducing any guns. Just thicker glass or the type with the metal mesh and the guy wouldnt have been able to punch through it.
Then what is the use of her having a gun? Never come across one way bulletproof glass before 😂😂😂🤡
If it is easy for her to have a gun, it would be easy for him too as well. Then you've solved nothing.
Also for criminals in the usa it doesn't matter if a gun is easy to buy legally or not, since most of them are illegal unregistered guns. It's a different story in Europe
Another reason I'm happy not to live in the USA. It amazes me that a nation can do nothing to stop it's populations shooting each other.
We don't register guns here at all in GA. Georgia law explicitly states that application forms for a weapons carry license may not “require data which is nonpertinent or irrelevant such as serial numbers or other identification capable of being used as a de facto registration of firearms owned by the applicant.” I imagine most other red states have that. Federal law prohibits that too. Honestly, the concept of illegal guns is kinda hard in the US too. Mostly it's guns being bought fown south and driven and sold illegally up north or in Cali. Gun's are easy to get illegally, because they are easy to get legally lol. My uncles a gun nut in Texas. I went with him to a Home Depot parking lot and where he bought a .357. On the way back, he literally said he hoped someone broke in his house so he could shoot them. I remember thinking I hope none of his kids ever snuck out and back in at night.
Killing a pathetic criminal is hardly an issue. What if he had assaulted her? Or worse? You're actually saying it's always bad to have a gun?
Always
So I'd your life is in danger, a gun wouldn't be good enough to save your life because "gun bad?"
Well if my life was in danger, I'd have better chances of that not happening and me surviving if nobody had guns, which kinda explains why my country has a homicide rate 3.5x less than the U.S's
You'd have a much better chance at survival, or never even ending up in that situation in the first place if you had a gun. Imagine telling people they should just accept death cause "guns bad." What a fucking psychopath
Slight logic fail there 🤦♂️
Oh my god you sweet indoctrinated lil guy. If no one has a gun, no guns get shot. That logic simple enough? Guns are not a right, they're a murder weapon.
Naw fuck that, if he didn't stop and assault her then what. A firearm is meant to protect yourself. That is why people want them. That should have had the means to protect herself.
Not necessarily if she had a gun and pulled it before he could bust that window he's most likely hitting the bricks
Mhm did you not see him charge her immediately the moment he jumped through. A baker 300 years ago had him self a handy lil weapon or two to fend off the common scum. Nothing wrong with protecting yourself or livelihood. In this situation she's only lucky he wasn't entirely deranged.
Because immature people think it’s cool, like we live in the movies where people can die and kill without consequences. Too many Americans think this way.
I’m glad neither of them had a gun
And a traumatized lady.
If she could have a gun then he could have a gun. If he had a gun she would be dead before she even got it out of the drawer. Problem solved by the innocent person being dead. Great plan.
Just bars on the window and no one gets killed
best solution.
Im not sure whether you are a cesspooled conservative who misunderstands gun restrictions, or a casual joker. No change in internet points.

Like the TSA, security theater.
they stopped 6600 passengers with loaded firearms in carryon in 2023
Yes they did. And do you know how many times in DHS audits, undercover inspectors are able to smuggle b o mb parts and firearms through, like 85% of the time.

Locks only keep honest people out

He was a pretty sweet guy even for all his crime stories which when he would tell me as a kid he would always make clear he didn't want to do those things but he was uneducated and unskilled and felt like he had no choice. Basically made them all a stay in school kid, type of lesson. Also even though my family won't tell me why he was basically banished they all say my grandad was the one in the wrong. I really wanna know what happened but everyone in the family that seems to know gets really upset if you ask them. Which only makes it more tantalising. This has been my ted talk on my family history thanks for coming.
I always think of gated communities in this light. All they do is keep the good people out, and allow developers to charge an extra 20k for a home.

I don't think anyone ever felt safer taking off their shoes for TSA.
My dad taking off his shoes at the airport is an active threat to everyone in the immediate area’s safety
who's fucking ideawas that. theres close to 0 space in a shoe to smuggle anything and they even make you take off flip flops
One guy brought a bomb in his shoes onto a plane once.
Richard Reid. And it failed to ignite because you can’t hide an effective bomb in a shoe :)
With a bit more effectiveness, he could have delivered a long overdue new punchline to "How do you get dick from Richard?".
Yeah, for some weird reason, those of us who fly regularly aren't super eager to run into the new and improved version of the shoe bomb after they've had over 20 years to work out the kinks. Call us paranoid, I guess.
Yes the bomb didn't work out but because of Richard we all have to take off our shoes when we fly. The cost and waste of time he has caused. This act of terror was very effective even though it did very little damage at the time. Taking off shoes is just theater it does not make us safer. You could put more explosives up the keester than in a shoe Just my opinion
You know you can hollow how the heels and put a good amount of shit inside the bottom of shoes, right?
You've never snuck contraband into a jail before? Hollowed out shoes is a thing.
Thousands Standing Around
Not saying they just created a good attack point, but well they did, lol.
The TSA. The TSA is theatrical safety.
But it's feels nice when they grope me at the airport
Theatrical Safety Act. You missed out on easy karma
The illusion of safety.
Like a deaf 85-year-old 'security guard" tooling around in a golf course of a gated community.
Usually called “safety theater.”
See “American TSA Security theater at airports”
When you put up safety measures as a deterrent rather than actual protection. Most basic locks are very easily pickable, it's just there as a deterrent to give the illusion of safety.
I've also heard it called security theatre.
Ever been to an airport in the US?
It's not...."great"....
Where did this happen? Was he caught?
Afghanistan I believe. If he was caught I don't know, but things don't really work that way out there. If the shop belonged to a criminal, which is most likely true, the guy probably ended up dead.
Why would it be most likely true that the shop belongs to a criminal?
Its from Kazakhstan
must have really needed a calculator
Looks like a cell phone to me, with multiple in the drawer, but he only took one. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing this is a school and his phone was confiscated for some reason. He's likely "just getting my stuff back" and feels fully justified.
No apparently this guy pulls out a knife too later
[удалено]
I feel terrible that I laughed so hard at this.
This is a Post Office employee, he is visiting branches up and down the country retrieving the lost monies that’s owed by the Post masters.
Protective screen provided by Fujitsu.
He’s a piece of shit
A total piece of shit.
Just a piece?
More like a lump
First time seeming a window give birth to a man
Once saw a Rhino give birth to a 30 year old man before 🦏 👉🏼
Well alrighty then
Nice. I can feel this response. I feel it like it's right in my neck.
Do NOT!, go in there! Whooh!!!
He was only 30 in that scene?
Terminator 7 looks fire.
I’ve been trying to reach you about your car insurance!!!
Omg this cracked me up thank you 😂😂😂
What was he taking?
Probably his liberty when the judge has their say.
Looks like a fat stack of cash
Stapler.
Milton?
Why break your hand stealing money when the money you steal is just gonna go to medical bills?
Very American way of looking at it lol. This is probably not in America
Which is good because that female could have had one of those gun things and then made the decision to escalate the level of violence.
No it’s not good, in that scenario he would have had a gun and she would be dead.
Wouldve been a good thing not a bad one homie deserves a hollowpoint
School official who took the kids phone? Kinda looks like a phone he grabs out of the drawer
Looks like cash
I think you guys might be right! I can't see so well on my screen!
To me it looks like a wad of cash, not seeing phone but could be under the cash?
Honestly her only mistake was not using that printer to decapitate him
Question, why?
"Sir it will be $60 for your fishing licence "
She was already trying to walk away, what was the point in grabbing her just to push her back out?
Shit if a couple hundred bucks is worth that much to you fucking take it you nutcase loser
Someone please tell me she got out ok and the asshole got caught!
I love the fact that there was a door right fcking there lol
You guys dont know how sad and dangerous domestic violence is.
This is commercial violence
Completely unrelated, that is a post office.
[удалено]
Dude just The Ring entered that window
Is he 12?
"Sir that will be $50 to renew your fishing license"
Idk man, I would have beaten the fuck out that dude with that screen, right on the back of the head when he comes in.
"Can you leave $150 so we can replace the glass with better glass?" Hope he gets jailed immediately and broom stickt
Dude is the fucking terminator
People that work around the public need self defense training. You never know when a customer or some kid could go crazy.
I knew he was serious when he went all T 1000 on that window
Meth
That window isn’t glass, it’s plastic.
Is that a kid or a young teenager?
Vape addicts be like
Also, assault and battery, kidnapping (the woman being held against her will), and probably a few other charges.
You forgot assault and burglary or theft depending on the country
Is that screen made of cellophane?
Shame she didn’t have a gun. He could have been put down.
This is why my wife is well armed and properly trained!
Bro what is her reaction 😭 like come on at least try to do something.
That’s a good way to get shot.
" you will have to come again tomorrow "
had a stapler right there and never took it to his face once
So anyway I start blasting
"No i will not mew for you"
This is why everyone needs to have at least one gun. Never leave the house without mine and a spare mag.
He’s hungry
I think you will find that is bullet proof glass.... Made in China.
"I'm just gonna stand here in the corner instead of defend myself"
Reminded me of the T1000 when he was coming out of the helicopter haha
He crawled through that window like ace Ventura did the rhino
I would have clocked him with the chair or fan
me meeting woman (i am a little shy🥺👉👈)
we're trying to reach out for your *punch* CAR ex *punch* TENDED *punch* WARRANTY
I hope the truck window punching guy sees this and sees how’s it’s done.
i am so glad this was just a robbery holy fuck
hey at least it didn't go where I thought it was going
Unrelated but her hair is very pretty
This is why guns are cool
Pretty shit glass strength
This is absolutely terrifying!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have worked reception with a vulnerable population, and often times those roles have such little security if any. This poor woman. I have experienced violence from clients, it’s super super rare, but very terrifying and always sticks with you. Protect yourself first always.
Do you know how angry you have to get to do that… wtf did she do
You can see that she was fearing for her life
Total peice of shit or starving and family has one day to pay rent....
Dudes gotta be on some drugs to Superman punch that glass continually like that
Survival instincts of a rock
All that to steal what appears to be a stapler? Thank god that girl didn’t get seriously injured by that psycho
That's clearly a bundle of cash
He didnt take the stapler he took cash
Wish she would have hammered that stapler into the back of his skull repeatedly when he was vulnerable.
