Hero may be a bit of a stretch. He sounds like just another Berkeley wimp to me. Maybe his neighbors will bring some sort of petition against him for brutish behavior against a misunderstood yute. Give him a taste of the crap he undoubtedly has always voted for.
Ah, it was the neighbors that helped the husband subdue the suspect. Reading the article occasionally helps understand what occurred.
Husband goes after a bad guy, catches bad guy, and bad guy is arrested and goes to jail, and you mock the victims? This guy basically risked his life, and you call him a wimp?
Hmmm...
So, he lives in Berkeley. It sounds like Alaska-worthy behavior to me. What did he you want him to do?
