Fake Batman foiled by real hero

I can't beleive that nobody helped him until the very end! That's why we need guns!

Reinforces why we recognize the need to be prepared to defend ourselves.

And the first key to that is mindset. Check out the original article quoted on www.powerlineblog.com (then put the site in your favorite, cause it's amazing). Had nothing to do with caliber, self defense style, or number of hours spend spreading machismo on the internet.

Guess we know who the sheep dog was!

This wasn't done in the interest of protecting a "flock." See the original article or the quotes in the blog cited above.

Regardless of whether or not the bystanders should have/could have helped, it is refreshing to see someone fight back from time to time.

I love to see someone fight back!

Also does anyone know what gun the robber used?

I will say one thing, when you have something happen like this, what you think you would do, and what you would do are may not be the same.

There was a case I was involved in where a drunk guy was in a dorm, being asked to leave, when he broke the bottle he had and cut a RA (Resident Assistant) across the face. There where a number of people there, many of them who one would expect was tough. Being a college campus of course we where unarmed as after all, a badguy would not use a weapon on campus....

anyways, when this happened, the smallest female ran to the phone to call 911, and the smallest guy tackled and beat the crap out of the guy who assaulted the RA. A number of guys, including one guy who was 6'5 and 300 pounds just stood there going "OMG".

It was kinda sad, the two smallest people did what was right, and the others just stood there.

(saddest thing was there was a school administrator who wanted to suspend the student who tackled the assailant... )

I will be the first to admit that most likely I would not have been the first to jump the guy, but once I saw someone tackle him, I would of tried to go after him till my back gave out. )
