I was just reading a story coming out of Belleville, IL that brings up this question…
The Belleville News-Democrat reports:
An armed gunman tried to rob a 20-year-old woman early Monday at the McDonald’s near the Belle Clair Fairgrounds in Belleville.
The woman told Belleville police that she was at the Red Box DVD rental in front of McDonald’s, 125 South Belt East, shortly after midnight when a man approached her and demanded money. When she told him she didn’t have any money, the man drew a handgun and pointed it at her, telling her she had to give him something, according to the police report.
Does anyone else feel unsafe when renting from a Redbox in their area? If so, what do you think can be done about it?

from this movie.Like the part when he was to be kill
ed then this woman saves him just like in Omaga Man
the woman had a boy with her just like in Omaga Man
I like movies that don't rip off from other movies
from a movie fan who does not like being riped off

Also, how about one machine for renting, one machine for return to speed the process up and help with "Queue Rage"?

If some don't feel safe at the outdoor redbox's, then they have the choice of going to one that is indoors during that store's hours. But keep it a choice for sure!

If someone wants to make a robbery, it doesn't matter if you're a petite woman or a "manly" man, they'll get what they want from you.

Personally I never go by myself, and I would take my dog if I honestly had to.
My husband usually takes care of the movie rentals there.
