A 30-year-old mother is lucky today after the quick-thinking of a stranger helped save her from a mugging.

The mother of two who was dragged across a Texas shopping center parking lot this week, clinging to her purse while two suspects in a sedan tried to snatch it.

That’s when the stranger, who was armed, stopped the would-be thieves and forced them to lie on the ground while they waited for the police to arrive.

According to KHOU, the good Samaritan bought his children some candy after the incident and drove away. Vasquez said that while the mother was scared, she was thankful for the help she received.

Another positive use of a gun that the LSM will ignore.

Nice feel good video! It appears the good Samaritan was a "person of color" at first, but on full screen appears to be a bearded white guy. If this was Boston, he'd probably be charged with a hate crime.

Since it is Houston, he's a hero.

If you see it mentioned anywhere in the LSM, it will be to talk about how dangerous that could be, that you should not interfere with crimes being committed, etc.

As many people here who have issues with Glenn Beck, i do appreciate the near daily “Good News Gun Story” the Blaze publishes.

In California or New York, that Good Samaritan would have been arrested for brandishing a weapon, possession of a deadly weapon and illegal detainment and would have been subject to civil suit for violating the civil rights of those two young African American boys. Pretty sure that’s how it would have worked out anyways. yep.

Former SCOTUS Justice John Paul Stevens thinks the target victim in this case should have been left to her fate.

No member of the media would ever frame a question to him about this.

According to the elites of our country, the value her life isn't a consideration. She's not "one of the people who counts."

And these people are in the process of taking over our entire health care system.

I’m starting to notice something. Whenever a TV station reports on a crime with black perps, the reporter reporting the story is always black. Not too hard to figure out why, but I just find it interesting.
