Don't screw with a Marine that just lost $100
Timothy Armstead was waiting at the Washington Mutual Bank branch on Tuesday to discuss the missing money when the man came in and told bank employees he had a bomb. The man gave them five minutes to get $2,000 in $50 bills, DeKalb County police said. As the employees went to the vault to comply, the unidentified man began loudly counting down the minutes, which attracted Armstead's attention, police spokesman Michael Payne said. When the man then tried to walk out with the money, Armstead, 27, knocked him to the ground. He held the man down — lecturing him on his poor decision — until authorities arrived. "I just told him it was a very stupid decision and now you get to spend 20 years of your life just for taking some money," Armstead told WSB-TV. The man was taken to the DeKalb County Jail on suspicion of armed robbery. Jail officials declined to comment on his case Friday. A call to the DeKalb County Sheriff's office was not immediately returned.

I suppose I should say "good for him". But if the man had indeed had a bomb, he could have cost all the people in the bank their lives. Good thing he was bluffing.

True, he should have just let the guy rob them. Attitudes like 'what if' is what causes Columbine, VT and other instances....glad someone stood up.

 I got mugged in broad daylight on the NY subway when I was in college, and no-one stood up for me but myself. Granted, he held a knife at my throat after I accosted him, but even then, no-one came to my rescue. Thank God for people like that pissed-off marine!!

 It's kind of like when you hear about young kids getting killed over their air jordan sneakers. It's just not worth it.

whatever, attitudes like that lead to anarchy on the streets because everyone is waiting for 'someone else' to do something. No, it will not always work out favorably.
I had a friend of mine mugged and killed a while back, I refuse to believe no body was there, they were just too chicken sh_t to do anything.
