Lesson here is: No matter whether you carry, or what you carry, the most important thing you need is the pair of nuts 'bagged' between your legs!!! Otherwise, you're another woulda coulda bystander, who did nothing.

Great example of commiting 100% to the fight once it started. Notice no one came to help untill he had the guy pinned. Gotta love the lady crawling out on all fours, just ad a caption saying "BAAAAA" and it would be perfect.

Also a great example of how your choice to act or escape cannot be set in stone (if [1] happens I will ALWAYS do [2]). I would think that the most common reaction in a bank robbery would be to escape and be a good witness (he had plenty of time to do so). I know Im not going to risk my life to save an insured banks money. But this was very different for this man. To paraphrase " I knew everyone here, and felt I had to do something." Good for him.

Too bad the bank isn't stepping up to pay the guy's medical bills.  ::)

The bank didn't cause him to be shot. The robber did. Now it sounds like he's suing the bank!

True, the bank didn't cause him to be shot, but they benefited from his actions while their security guard sat on his a$$ outside the bank.  Maybe some of those people he protected could put together a fund-raiser to help him out.  Maybe the bank could donate the amount of money the thief would have stolen had this guy not stopped the robbery.

Nope, they're all too busy being a part of the "Me Generation."
