Attempted Robbery Ends In Group Hug
This is one of the most bizarres stories I heard in a long time. Do you think the robber was in drugs or something?

| It started about midnight on June 16 when a group of friends was finishing a dinner of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp on the back patio of a District of Columbia home. That's when a hooded man slid through an open gate and pointed a handgun at the head of a 14-year-old girl. "Give me your money, or I'll start shooting," he said, according to D.C. police and witnesses. Everyone froze, including the girl's parents. Then one guest spoke. "We were just finishing dinner," Cristina "Cha Cha" Rowan, 43, told the man. "Why don't you have a glass of wine with us?" The intruder had a sip of their Chateau Malescot St-Exupery and said, "darn, that's good wine." The girl's father, Michael Rabdau, 51, told the intruder to take the whole glass, and Rowan offered him the whole bottle. The robber, with his hood down, took another sip and a bite of Camembert cheese. He put the gun in his sweatpants. The story then turns even more bizarre. "I think I may have come to the wrong house," he said before apologizing. "Can I get a hug?" Rowan, who works at her children's school and lives in Falls Church, Va., stood up and wrapped her arms around the armed man. The four other guests followed. "Can we have a group hug?" the man asked. The five adults complied. The man walked away a few moments later with the crystal wine glass in hand. Nothing was stolen, and no one was hurt.... |

Nice to see all ended well. Drugs I am sure are a good part of the persons life as how else would one explain going from gun point threat to walking away. I am sure divine intervention was part also.

That was an excellent, and very unexpected ending to something that could have so easily have ended up with a tragedy.
It was lovely to read that this guy had gone out with one intention, but finished up having his needs attended to by the victims...truly inspiring!
