Video of robber smashing a full bottle against a clerk's skull

[allisolm]

Whoa!

Click on "Brutal bottle attack caught on camera" in "Latest News"or, under "watch video" "Robber hits clerk with liquor bottle..."

She's okay, but those were her grandchildren at the left of the video watching the whole thing. If you see the video on CNN without Cagan yammering through it all, the sound that bottle makes is really awful. The man has been arrested and charged with attempted murder.

edited because CNN.com changed the name of the video and so, then, did I.

Holy sh!t

 

[Tiamat]

whoa sh1t thats insane

I can't believe that the woman is fine - especially since it said he also slammed the cash register into her when she was on the floor. Amazing!

For some reason, the link from CNN doesn;t take me to the article, but to the KWTX main page
Could anyone post a link please?

If the bottle didn't break or happened to break in another way that chick would be dead. Wow.

 

[2Dead]

Oh believe me she's REALLY FAR from being 'fine'. Recovery from the physical injuries may be relatively fast but the psychological recovery can take years.

When the news folks report "fine" more or less they mean alive.

[j00fek]

Police are looked for a black man in his mid 20s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighing about 230 pounds.

At the time of the robbery he was wearing a long sleeve white T-shirt.

With that description I'm sure they will locate him in no time... :roll:

They already DID locate and arrest him. :roll:

You're so right. "Fine" was a poor choice of words there. If that happened to me and I came out of it with all my faculties intact, I'd be happy. And to think, she's 62 years old!

62?!?! I just caught the clip sans audio. Wow. That guy's family and friends must be pretty proud of him for trying to kill an old lady with a liquor bottle. What a piece of garbage.

I'll wager there are a few people who posted in this very thread, who are against the death penalty.

Personally, I'd shoot that POS like dog, right this instant.

Well as you instructed i went right to watching the video, rather than reading the news article. :thumbsdown:

And where does it say he was located and arrested? Because it's certainly not in that article. Source for that?
