Affecting

This is not happy viewing.

But it is very compelling viewing. And very, very real.

Once I started watching, I couldn’t stop.

Very well put together. I really liked the lack of a narrator, or commentator. You’re left to make your own conclusions about all of what transpired.

I couldn’t believe the way ordinary people gathered around a couple of guys with guns. Loaded guns, with no safety on. What morons. And no one stepped in to save the beautiful young woman who was forced to go through so much. They just stood there and chatted with some monster as he held a gun to her throat.

People can be so good, but they can also act terribly, especially in mob-like situations. Everyone else is chatting with this guy who is saying he’s going to kill people, so I can too!

I’m glad these sorts of situations are handled so much better now. They wouldn’t have been let out of the bank. At the very worst the 2 hostages there could have been killed. But by providing them with a car and whatnot, it actually led to more deaths.

Parasitic media

This is a bizarre and enthralling watch. I recommend it. But what it confirmed to me is how the media are parasitic scum and only getting worse. Yes it is their job to report on something like this, but not get involved in it and not place themselves right in the middle of it hindering any attempt the police would have of controlling the situation. Disgraceful, and we’ve seemed to have learnt very little as the media are still doing this crap to this day. Becoming the story not just reporting on it. Journalism is dead. Has been for a while now.

Despicable media! Horrible police! Unjust judicial system!

A well done documentary but very disturbing, I would give it more stars but it just feels wrong. The media then and now are just out for blood. They just want a story they don’t care about right or wrong. You will definitely feel angry with the way the police handled this entire situation. A documentary hasn’t made me so sad and angry in a very long time.
