Girl Scouts Stop Theives

The video that I chose to watch talked about a group of girl scouts who stopped a man from stealing from a supermarket. The girls were selling cookies in the store when they spotted a man hidden from the view of employees. They saw him steal a few different items, including an expensive bottle of wine and kitchen utensils. When nobody else noticed the thief, the girls decided to take matters into their own hands. They yelled for help while jumping on the man, grabbing him by the throat and tackling him to the ground. They held him until adult employees arrived. In return for the girls' bravery, the owner of the store purchases all of their cookies, and a framed photo of the girls now hangs in the store. 

What would you do if you were in that situation? Would you take matters into your own hands like the girls?

  • Well done!

  • I wouldn't tackle him like the girls did but i would probably tell the employees

  • That's a cool story. If it were me I would of told an adult, not tackle the guy.

  • I think the girls did the right thing by trying to stop him. I would I think they did the right thing.

  • This is a great thing to see, children taking problems into their own hands. That was a very nice thing to do by the supermarket to say thank you for stopping the shop lifter.

  • Well I think it was stupid for the girls to attack him. They had no idea what kind of weapon he had on them. It was right for them to call the cops, gut I believe that was a little risky.

  • that is so awesome! little girls taking down a grown man I would of loved to see that. but if I was in that situation I would tackle him if I had a group of people with me, otherwise no I would just tell someone.

  • If i seen something like that happening i probably would just tell someone, those girls were brave to attack him!!

  • I would go and tell someone if I saw someone doing this. I'm not sure if I would handle this myself. I would probably be scared and hope he wouldn't do anything to crazy.

  • I think that they acted both bravely and a little stupidly because they didn't know whether the man had a weapon or not. I think that I would attempt to stop it but I don't know if I would go to the extent that the girls did.
