I can't believe how stupid the regular citizens are. They just walk by and stand behind the bad guy. The guy with the pepper spray was really stupid. He got WAY too close to the knife guy and in between the bad guy and the gun guy.

Guy with the gun showed a ton of restraint for not shooting the suspect. People either just don't care or are just stupid to casually walk past that. Also, this shows that unarmed security guards are only there to call the police.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

Yes, that guy with the pepper spray is lucky the knife guy Decided he was going to commit only one murder that day.

And I’ve noticed in the videos of violence that bystanders think theyre watching TV or something.

Should move this to the SD forum.

I am amazed that the armed good guy was able to show that much restraint. And as soon as LEO showed up he put his gun down. He was cool and composed. Not sure I would be that cool after witnessing a stabbing murder. Did you see the blood all over the BG's hands and arms? that must have been a horrible scene to witness.

My heart goes out to the victim and her family. This is another example of a restraining order doing nothing to protect victims.
Do what you say you're gonna do.
