I bet the man who was thought to be raping someone was probably naked and already "Hard" lol.

Imagine. Still it was a nice story but leads to consequences.

Its good that the guy wanted to be a good samaritan but people please think things through first. He should have knocked, waited for a response, and then have gone looking for a phone to call the police. Theres no reason to go "hero" without actually having some solid proof.

Haha. This reminds me of what we all learned in gym class during CPR-ed. If you see someone who looks like they're unconscious and not breathing and/or have no heartbeat, make sure you try to get their attention by asking them if they need help before proceeding with the mouth-to-mouth. If the person doesn't respond after you scream in their ear, tap the person on the shoulder, etc. No one wants to awaken from a wonderful dream to find some stranger's cottage-cheese reeking breath entering their lungs.

Now even though this fool made a HUGE mistake, I hope for his sake he doesn't get tossed into prison -- mark on his permanent record, a hefty fine and payment for the damage he caused, eviction from the apartment complex, probation, and several years worth of community service would suffice. The article creates the impression that he was genuinely sorry and deeply ashamed of his failure to respond in an orderly, more calculated (more mature) fashion. This sort of crime of stupidity does not indicate a tendency toward criminal behavior. (And if he is prone to outbursts of public disorder, the writer didn't bother to mention it.) It may, however, indicate a tendency toward unintentionally irrational behavior, for which our glorious nation has other institutions.

The writer of the article found it worth mentioning that the man was still living with his mother. I gather from this that the sword-wielder may be a frail, clueless Caucasian -- making him a very ideal target for a future of abusive non-consensual leapfrog in prison with him on the receiving end.

I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night! Soon there will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food! Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My God... It'll be beautiful.

Lets hope its a good prison. (If there is such a thing for non-rich people)

He'd make a good vigilante if only he were smarter. I have to hand it to him for intentions, though. And recklessness. It is nice to get a hero every now and then, but it helps to think before acting.
