CAS700850 the video title "fakerobbery" was the title I used when I put it on my server. The sight that the orginal video was on had a ton of spyware and other crap. I have plenty of bandwidth so I posted it on mine to help out.
Not that I have anything novel to say, but I wouldn't believe it unless i saw it on a major news site. If it were real, it'd be all over the place, not just on ebaums world.
It is entertaining non the less.. 
I like the end.. putting him out of his misery than dragging him off to the dumpster...

I, too, think it was a fake.
But guys, if I have to shoot someone and he's down and scrabbling around for his gun...unless I see the gun and it is WAY out of his reach...I'm shooting again. Same thing if he reachs in his pocket for his first aid kit.
Bad acting and all that. But I can't see the robber that well after he's down. Based on what I could see then I might have still been in fear of my life and shooting to stop the threat.

Ebaumsworld...
is generally a humor / oddity site, so the fact that it had it's stamp on it was pretty much the first clue that this is fake.

Most certainly a fake, but there is a good lesson here. There is a difference between cover and concealment. The clothes rack and the 1/2" door would both be concealment. Shoot right through either one (depends on if you are rooting for the robber or clerk) and the situation is over.

Definitely a fake. The first "shot" gave it away for sure - the muzzle flash was obviously a sprite added in with video editing software. A couple of my friends have made videos with fake blowback handguns and added in the simulated muzzle flash digitally.
Doesn't the fact that it comes from ebaumsworld mean anything to anyone else?
Of course it's fake.

This one from further down was interesting: http://drunkendelight.com/content/videos/04182735.wmv Gun seemed a bit much for the little guy to use though.
IF it is real, the cashier was well within rights to take the extra shots, if you watch closely as hes coming around to secure the scene, the assailant grabs his gun again - making him a threat again.
What I dont understand is why he moved the body...

Yeah, I noticed that as well...his hand swung up with the gun as the clerk came around the edge of the clothing rack. I think the only thing the clerk would have to worry about would be the tampering with the scene, that might bring a charge from the local DA (IF this was a real instead of staged occurance). Removing the gun out of reach would be acceptable but moving the body just potentially screws you.
The first comment I made to my coworker upon seeing that video was, "Why doesn't the clerk shoot him through the clothing on the rack, it's not like the clothes would stop a bullet!"
i'm not educated about guns that much, and i've never fired anything more than a .22, but that was screaming FAKE!!
the muzzle flash is about the size of somthing you get from a Desert Eagle, and the recoil was godawfully done...
