News Videodrome robbed on Friday night
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Videodrome, the Poncey-Highland movie rental store that's been a go-to for film buffs since 1997, was robbed Friday night.
Owner Matt Booth tells CL that a male suspect entered the store at approximately 10:45 p.m. and browsed film selections. After purchasing a movie, the suspect allegedly displayed a gun to the clerk and demanded the contents of the register. (Booth declined to say how much cash the suspect took.)
No one was injured during the robbery. An Atlanta Police Department spokesman told CL he was working on providing more details about the case. We'll update when we hear word.

I was wondering why they didn't mention the race of the robber, but then i looked on the atlanta police dept's website and looked at the race of robbers for July thru Sept. in Atlanta. 154/158 robberies were committed by blacks. So...I'll just assume that the probability is, oh, about 97% that this guy is too? Sad but true...check out APD's website if you wanna be dismayed: http://www.atlantapd.org/index.asp?nav=Stats&menu=23
