While they don’t encourage this behavior, they appreciate citizens watching out for each other as long as they do it legally and are willing to accept the consequences.

It’s a miracle that the LEOs didn’t shoot the Marine dead as a matter of protocol.
In some places they seem to consider the murder of American Veterans as some sort of recreational sport.

Since the Marine wasn’t charged with a hate crime for his meddling, may I assume that racial differences were not a factor?

Despite the perp possibly being able to beat the Marine as well as his ex to death, had the Marine capped an “unarmed” assailant we might have seen another Trayvon furor erupt.

Now if that woman only had a whistle to blow, surely none of this would have happened. /s
