Beer is Liquid Courage, YouTube is Video Courage

ELMWOOD PARK, N.J.

When a man walked into a Dunkin’ Donuts store on Sunday night, ordered a pastry and then jumped over the counter and started taking money out of the register; the employee, Dustin Hoffman’s, first thought was how he might look on YouTube.

“What was going through my mind at that point was that the security tape is either going to show me run away and hide in the office or whack this guy in the head, so I just grabbed the cup and clocked the guy pretty hard.”

According to police, Hoffman grabbed the would be robber’s wrists while hitting him with a ceramic mug. The man escaped with $90 but left behind a baseball cap which is being tested for DNA evidence.

Hoffman plans to post the surveillance video when he can. “There are only a few videos like that on YouTube now, so mine’s going to be the best. That’ll teach this guy.”

This could possibly become a deterrent for criminals. Surely no one wants to show up on YouTube bungling a routine donut shop robbery. I can just see some of the comments on the video: “thet guy so dum”, “man that’s so awesome”, “whoo third comment”. It could also be a new incentive for people to report crimes. “If your information leads to an arrest, we’ll post a video on YouTube.”
