Odd Eyewitness


     My cousin Denise sent this article to me that tells about a gas station robbery that happened in Kansas City back in September, 2010: http://www.kmbc.com/r/24836888/detail.html There was an odd lady witness who got her 15 minutes of fame, describing what happened and how she felt while the store was being held up at gunpoint.  The KMBC news reporter who covered the story couldn’t have chosen a better eyewitness to interview, as the lady named Diana was so hyped up after the robbery, her antics while describing the robbery were hilarious: http://www.kmbc.com/video/24837823/detail.htm She apparently had gone into the store to get a cup of coffee when "two hooded men came in with guns to rob the place."  
     There were a few positives in this story, one being that the store clerk pulled out his own gun and shot at the robbers, "saving his customer’s lives," and two being that the bizarre witness made it to YouTube when a group named, “The Gregory Brothers” made a song out of her eyewitness account.  You will get a kick out of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjYSERaXEGI Apparently "earnings from this video go to Diana and The Gregory Brothers," so it has become a money maker for Diana too; lucky lady. This story shows how adrenaline works in different people, and how it can cause odd behaviors in people to become even more pronounced. Have you ever been a witness to a robbery? Have you ever had to defend yourself in such a situation?   If so, please share your comments.

  3. Oh my gosh!! Did anyone listen to that song???? I loved it!! Backin' up! Backin' up! Oh my god! Oh my god!! That's great that they're giving the song's kickback money to the cooky witness to the robbery.
