ORANGE COUNTY --
A group of good Samaritans are being credited with saving a 76-year-old woman from having her purse stolen by a 23-year-old man in Orange County.
That woman was attacked in the parking lot of the Winn-Dixie grocery store on University Boulevard, near Goldenrod Road Wednesday afternoon.
"I had to do something. Sitting back and watching, it wouldn’t feel right. I wouldn’t have been able to sleep at night, that could have been my grandmother," said good Samaritan Kendrick Taylor.
In the surveillance video, which was released by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, you can see a 76-year-old woman getting her purse violently snatched.
But luckily for her, deputies said 10 good Samaritans heard her cries for help in the parking lot and they didn’t hesitate to act and chased down and tackled the suspect.

Me tooooo!
Bless these people who got involved.
One of the heroes is a Navy veteran. Figures he would step up, do the right thing and stop the mugger.
God bless all 20 Good Samaritans who pitched in.
‘I LOVE this story!’
me,too
A nice story, for a change.
Here's the beauty part:
24-year-old Kendrick Taylor is the man seen in the surveillance video chasing down and tackling the suspect. Taylor said his core values compelled him to act, it didn't even require thinking twice.
"I’m a U.S. Navy veteran so I just stick to my core values, honor, courage and commitment," Taylor shared.
"If you see something, you know what’s right is right, and I think us being Americans should just stand up for each other, just stand up for what’s right and not look to the other person to try to act on it but act on it yourself and that will make us all better at the end of day," Taylor concluded.
Props to the heroes who stepped up.
Awesome ....woof !!
Taxman Bravo Zulu! to all involved in detaining the scumbag for the LEOs.
“Americans need to stand up for each other”
Amen to that. We’ve been purposely divided by media, pc police, politicians, those elites that have divided by over saturating us with diversified cultures and ethnicities... Since the beginning of time common cultures naturally stick together and protect each other. The common culture of America has been purposely fragmented by elites in both Parties.
A glimmer of civilization in California.
Too bad that when the police arrived and asked for the robber, that someone didn’t say, “He’s hanging over there.”
Wrong coast, this was Florida.
It’s in Orlando Orange County Florida. If it was California the sub-human criminal would be released and the 10 good Samaritans would all be arrested. It’s too bad they didn’t kill the sub-human. Now the sub-human will enter our beyond pathetic criminal injustice system. It will be given a sleazy, morally challenged criminal defense attorney at our expense, who will whine and cry on behalf of the sub-human that the sub-human should not be responsible for its own actions, it will be sentenced to 1/100 the amount of time it should have received by some idiot liberal judge, and will be released early by some idiot parole board, and while in prison it will be taught by other sub-humans how to be a better criminal.
The young black hero talks about ‘us being Americans we need to look out for each other’.
Wonderful post - thanks for sharing...
Good story!
A brilliant ray of sunshine is this story!
Good job, Mr. Taylor, and thank you for your service!
That’s a great way to start the day, thanks! The surveillance video was awesome to see.
