Bonus: She makes him dial 911!

So she risked her life to save things that would have been replaced by insurance? Stupid.

[CrAz3D]

OR she SAVED herself from being beaten to death by a 17.  Better safe than sorry.

[rabbit]

OR she RISKED her life for nothing.  What would have happened if the 17 year old wasn't alone?  I say she's an idiot.

[CrAz3D]

I say she's an idiot for not finishing the job and ENSURING her safety.

I don't think that the article gives enough information to make the conclusion you indicated here.  For all she knew he could have raped her or killed her.

That's *possible*, but I think it's far more likely that he would have taken her stuff and left.

But if the burglar or the accomplice had a gun, she probably would have been killed.

<edit> eww that you even consider the possibility of raping her! ;)

The sweet smell of justice. Serves those bastards right. I bet that kid was scared shitless.

You mean the accomplice you just made up?

To be fair, the article's last line is: "Charges have been filed against the boy and an alleged accomplice."

Yeah, what dark_drake said, I was talking about the accomplice mentioned in the 8-line article.

Yeah, I wasn't particularly hip to the idea that the kid would rape her, but you never know.  There's old people porn too.  :-X

She would have likely been killed regardless of whether she had a gun, unless the burglars were wearing masks, which I don't believe was indicated.  Typically the only thing that keeps witnesses alive in armed robberies is the fact that they couldn't identify the assailants.
