Just reading this story, my blood goes thru the roof. I would jump right in with pistol in their face. And I drive a lot over this town, I hope never to have an encounter like this..... I can’t just watch and do nothing. - I really don’t understand some folks....

Good thing the bad guys left on their own as the good guy could not make a 'citizen's arrest' anymore (when does that go in effect?)

This a bad and crazy world we live in. You have to be safe, never leave home without it. Glad she's OK

My Daughter’s girlfriend she goes to the gym with was almost kidnapped by two “possible” foreign guys who approached her at a gas pump with a cell phone translating his words into english.
The first man approached her and was speaking into his phone in a foreign language while it translated “I’m from Cali and I need money for gas and I have two kids stuck with me in my van over there.”
She said “I don’t have any money” and when she said that another man grabbed her from behind and the guy in front grabbed her from the front and they began dragging her screaming to their mini van.
Almost everyone ignored what was going on in broad daylight at this QT gas station except for one brave man who came running over yelling at them in which they finally let her go and jumped in their van and ran off.

As of right now the police are investigating the store cameras and doing what they’re gonna do.
That being said she’s the luckiest girl on the planet and her Husband owes that hero a new car, gun or a few mortgage payments at least .

I’m hoping someone here on the ODT knows who the hero is that foiled this crime so we can start a donation fund to buy him something bad azz as a token for all Husbands and boyfriends on behalf of their own beloved and cherished female counterparts.

I havent heard of anything on the news but would encourage any links to be posted.
My Daughter said her female friend usually carries her pistol on her but didn’t this time as she was only running a quick errand to refuel.

I often find myself thinking the same thing and then common sense kicks in every time and I strap that puppy on as it’s engrained in me.
Never leave home without it.

Happy to hear she got the assistance she needed! Just know there are more of those good men that are willing to get involved if someone is screaming for help! I for one would never hesitate to help!

Which location did this happen at?

If he fears for her life or his own, ain't he legally allowed to kill em both?

You can still use force to stop a forcible felony.

A bic lighter thrown in that van would have been the icing on the cake.

In a situation like that...I would not give a damn about what some “law” allowed or forbid.
