I was watching one of those "outrageous behavior caught on tape" shows last night.

This one was all about citizens fighting back. It was great to watch because the the bad guy was getting more than he bargained for.

The hotel clerk shooting the guy three times in the news clip was also on the video.

I am all for the people being armed and fighting backwhen they are being attacked.

I figure if they do not stop the threat..the bad guywill eventually make someone else a victim. But it is not right to go "hunting" when the threat is running away. But I would never change someone for it.

So it is nice to see there is a prosecutor like this too.

You go Joe!!

Hah, love it! Best quote:

Reporter: "How far can the store owner chase the robber down the street, firing at them? How far can they chase them?"
Prosecutor: "Pretty far."

We need more prosecutors like Joe Deters. This is how to be tough on crime!
