Security cameras come in handy
Some of the most popular current television shows are shows such as “Caught on Camera.” They often show hidden cameras or security video of people doing outlandish things not knowing they are being watched on camera. But it also often shows crimes being perpetrated by people who could care less that the camera is running.
When I’m on my couch watching the videos of crimes that may have happened a thousand miles away, it’s entertaining. But when you see events that took place close to your home, it brings about a different emotion.
As was the case when I saw the security video (On the look out) of a local grocery store being robbed by two men using a rifle in Norman a week ago. It was disturbing to say the least. Not to mention the fact that it was about three blocks from my home.
While I have seen many violent crimes on TV and in person, it’s still a shock to see a loaded gun pointed at a person’s face with the intent to do harm.
Hopefully, the people who committed this crime are soon caught. Until then, we have to be prepared for anything. Even here in Norman.
