Eccentric robbery eyewitness revives the lost art of storytelling?

In this age of instant gratification, the story of a robbery of a convenience store is usually told via grainy security footage of the actual event. But in olden times, people used to gather around campfires, hold their children tight, and relate the gripping stories of convenience store robberies over and over by memory, creating an oral tradition that linked generations together, and strengthening the community through the power of universal myths.
OK, that's not really true.
Still, it's really worth it to watch this kooky lady telling a local news crew in Kansas City what it was like to be present at a robbery. It might not be Antoine Dodson-level YouTube gold, but it's pretty darn entertaining:
