H/T to Say Uncle

Linky

Westminster Police confirm that on September 19th, a man grabbed and molested a little girl. Witnesses say he picked her up and was headed for the door

.

Bystanders started yelling for help. But no one stopped the suspect, 34-year-old Kevin Salyers. Until something even more unusual happened.

That part bothered me, maybe they were all children and old ladies, but a crowd yelling for help instead of even trying to take action? The training of the sheep to await intervention by Authorized Government Personnel is working well.

Fortunately:

A man working at the Comcast table at the front of the store tackled the suspect. Even more amazing, the Comcast employee, 22-year-old Cameron Aulner was in a wheelchair.

"He just had this look of astonishment, he didn't know what hit him,"

Yeah, it's just not as much fun when folks that can fight back get involved, is it sparky?

I especially like this part:

Comcast is also praising his efforts.

Given the default position of Corporate America is to be a passive, compliant victim and allow the thug to rob/rape/kill unhindered by resistance, kudos to them expressing some common sense for a change.

A tall frosty one raised to Mr Aulner. Not only did he do the right thing, but demonstrated that a fight is often won by attitude and determination, and don't let handicaps (physical or tactical) keep you from pressing the fight home.

It's a sad statement about this country and it's do nothing citizens when a guy in a wheelchair has to be the one to react.

But even so, I think it's a damn good indicator of character if someone needs an employee!!!
