Well Done That Man.

Some people were shouting about Human Rights when a thief was manhandled. I think he deserved it, what do you think? And would you jump in?

Re: Well Done That Man.

I probably would have waded in and tried to stop him myself.

When we lived in Cambridgeshire in the 80s I intervened when a crowd of yobs were tormenting an elderly bag lady. I pulled myself up to my 5' 2.5" and told them to clear off or else (I hadn't actually worked out the 'or else' bit!) I thought they were going to attack me, but with a few very unpleasant swear words they ran away.

Re: Well Done That Man.

In my younger days I would have jumped in, but not now.
Almost all of these despicable people carry knives nowadays, and think nothing of using them.
Good on that man though.
Well done!

PS.
Human rights?
My arse!

Re: Well Done That Man.

I wouldn't jump in for fear of being at the end of a knife.

Brave man, though.

I usually jump in without thinking first.

Brilliant! I'm glad he was caught.

I am also impressed with the person who managed to whip out their phone and get three perfect shots before they hit the ground.

Re: Well Done That Man.

Would I have jumped in !

Spontataneous reaction maybe rather than thinking about it.

Soldiers will tell you that is how heroes are created because had they thought about it the outcome would have been different.
