A "Quick thinking" Sun reader?!?!?

Clicky . . . Would you want your face published after that? :eek:

Also just been on Sky news.

Good job imho.

Camalot · 19 Dec 2008 at 14:30

He just put a target on his back

Sinque · 19 Dec 2008 at 14:31

would have been interesting if they ran at him with the sledgehammers

And now they know who he is and his name

Red and White · 19 Dec 2008 at 14:33

how has he got anyone? footage is useless, there faces are covered. i doubt you could even make out the reg plate though obviously thats irrelevant now.

scared them off though.

Mark was shopping with two-year-old daughter

Err, WTF was this guy thinking?

No friggin way I'd put my daughter in danger by getting involved in a burglary.

Sweetloaf · 19 Dec 2008 at 14:35

What an idiot, he risked his own life and more importantly the safety of his two year old daughter for that :confused:

Le_Petit_Lapin · 19 Dec 2008 at 14:36

No point in going after him now the video is public anyway, its not like he can delete it and make it dissappear.

Don't insult his intelligence - he was a quick thinking sun reader!

Yeah, bit of a moron, guys with sledgehammers, who could easily have been armed, and even without guns could clearly hurt him. You wouldnt' do that with your daughter there. Firstly, phone the police, get them on their way, they take pictures subtley and walk away without shouting "gotcha" and drawing attention to your kid. Utterly retarded. The longer they were there, the more chance they'd have of being caught so letting them know they were being filmed was the most retarded thing he could have done on every level.

But saying that, at least it wasn't another apathetic twit who didn't want to get involved, however he got involved in the wrong way, a dangerous way and put his daughter very much in harms way.

If you look at the slide show pictures the reg plate is VERY clear.

And the article states that the driver was maskless, hence why he panicked and they all fled.

Good on him for trying to make a difference and standing up to crime. What would this thread be like if it was about the guy who walked past, head bowed to ignore the crime? :/

It's bad his daughter was there, bt good on him for not giving into criminals and fearing them like most of the population does.

Ben M · 19 Dec 2008 at 14:56

good on him.

he does sound like a typical SUN reader when he starts singing "gotcha, gotcha gotcha" though

!

Red and White · 19 Dec 2008 at 14:57

his daughter could have been in another shop with her mother. where does it say his daughter was anywhere near the incident?

because people use cars belonging to them to rob places? :rolleyes:

i think he was lucky not to have a sledge hammer to the face.
