It is a liquor store robbery in 21st, Nov, 2005. A man who had a knife tried to rob money. He threatened the manager, saying, “give me money.” The manager was scared, but he attacked the robber, and the robber escaped from the store.


2. Why is the crime not successful?

The crime is not successful because the manager, Edward Patrossi, is smart. He jumped up on the counter, grabbed something, and gave him a high kick. After the robber escaped, the manager took pictures of the robber’s car license by his mobile phone. He said, “I was nice, polite, and did my best.” And because the robber didn't go over the store. If he have known that the clerk is smsrt and strong, He might not attack the store.
