Wow he really rolled into action

Surprise hug!

Mess with the chair, get the wheels.

It's a team effort, pretty much... Nevertheless, very impressive!

LOL @ news anchor: "Stepped into action"

I'm pretty sure he hasn't stepped anywhere in 10 years.

"Just because I am in a chair doesn't mean that I can't stand up and do what's right, even though I can't stand up." Awesome. Words to live by.

someone with priveleges want to *Canada?

Invocations (canada) cannot be called by bremnet because bremnet is not privileged - sorry.

I put that in when I submitted.

Dude's a hero.

Could those 3 morons have stood around any longer watching the crippled guy wrestle the asshole on the ground?!? Great job with the wet floor sign, dumbass.

>> ^Xax:Great job with the wet floor sign, dumbass.



No doubt. I was watching that guy thinking he was about to put in some work, and all he did was just tap the guy with the damn thing.

I think he was just trying to warn them all and make sure they saw the sign. An unexpected slip on the wet floor wasn't going to help anyone in that situation.

"Last year a good citizen in Toronto faced a criminal charge for holding a thief until police arrived."

Seriously? But that's exactly what you should want. You should want people on the streets looking out for one another, not afraid they'll be arrested on criminal charges for helping people. Statism fail.

I totally agree. Though there were some extenuating circumstances in the Toronto one, like the fact that the citizen who held the thief did so long after that actual theft, having recognized him sometime later. (The citizen was found not guilty in the end, as it should be.)

Autobots, roll out.

Watch people's hands in case knives appear. A motivated guy with a knife could have stabbed all 5 people in the store then fled.

Google knife wound images if you want a reminder.

I bet someone totally wiped out on that wet floor after this. Lawsuit!

Wait, so the Toronto guy was holding the wrong person?

Wewt! My first #1!

Virtual ice cream (non-dairy for those lactose-intolerants) and hypoallergenic cake for everyone!

No. What happened was the victim/shopkeeper was robbed and the thief got away. Some time later the shopkeeper saw the thief near the store so he ran out and "arrested" him (read: tied him up and locked him in a delivery van).

The problem is that Canadian law is pretty clear that a citizen can arrest someone during the commission of a crime. It's not so clear on arresting someone who is currently not committing any crime - even if the person is known to have committed one in the past.

In the end, the shopkeeper was vindicated in his arrest and two Members of Parliament have introduced bills to amend the citizen's arrest provision in the Criminal Code.
