A happy ending for a change.
Sometimes, the average person sees something awful going on, and they make a decision to take the risk and get involved.

I’m trying to mentally prepare myself to at least consider getting involved if/when something like this happens around me.
“What can I do besides just hiding and watching this crime taking place?

Sued? They’ll probably go to jail.

And, no, you don’t need to go look to confirm what you’re thinking...

Exactly. Remember the bodega guy who was robbed and defended himself in New York? They charged the man who was robbed until public outcry made them dismiss the charges.

Goal is to create crime zones so the Brownshirt criminals drive out the taxpayers who may vote against the communist takeover. Eventually you have Detroit or Philly and they can stuff the ballots when needed.

This is what is crazy about America, guy gets charged but public outcry influences the legal system.
It’s up to the press now to shape public policy ?
America will not get right until this dynamic is history.

Is the DA going to charge the people who stopped the robbery? Always a possibility in CA.

++++++++++++++++
How about charging a guy who was defending himself? I’d argue that’s a pretty big deal.

I am sure that the laptop owner supports Trump. ( well, maybe not)

The only thing Trump has to do is to call for the men to retake the streets. Watch them all follow.

Not a chance.

“Getting involved” is profoundly stupid in much of modern America. There are myriad reasons for this. There is no upside, technically speaking.

F ‘em

Witnesses said the man walked into the cafe, immediately grabbed a woman's Apple MacBook laptop and tried to run away. Video showed one man tackle him and others jump in to help him. 'Most people want to do the right thing.'

Good people need to be careful when helping fellow victims - - Democrat 'judges' might go after them...
