Good Samaritan Chases Down Purse Snatcher
Colorado Springs police say a woman came home from work and was attacked outside her apartment. That's when a neighbor saved the day.

Now there's a man! Good for you Samaritan man! Put those punks to use, have them defuse bombs in Iraq. They think their men after all. Have them do what men do.

I agree with Cinnamon! It is the sissy guys who pick on Women. They cant pick on REAL men because they are no match for a REAL man. A REAL man would slam the sissy to the ground and keep them there. We definatly need more ppl out there who will help a neighbor out! Thanks to the neighbor!

Radere, you're absolutely right; he'll probably say it was the other guys idea and he just went along with it because he's weak and a victim of bullying himself! But a jury will see through his story and hopefully, give him his expense paid vacation at one of our lovely detention facilities (that's the goal if found guilty). Good comments by all.

Mark for the most part I agree but with one exception. The thug that has been caught is scheming on how to beat the system. Cheers to good neighbors!

Score 1 for the "Good Guys!" I'd like to say "Thanks" to the neighbor who took the courage to do the right thing; 1 punk caught, 1 victim helped, 1 punk rethinking his career path! Cowards, plain and simple. Again, Bravo to the neighbor, you're an inspiration to us all.

Thank goodness there are still REAL MEN in this world. Only sissy BOYS pick on women. Even my 8 yr old says that men who pick on women aren't real men and have no guts! To the good Samaritan, you are a MAN and should be proud of yourself! More men should help step up to the plate and actually be a man like you! All these crimes going on aren't MEN doing it they are Mama's boys!
