Following up on Tom Barrett’s heroics near the State Fair Grounds in West Allis, we have yet another example of heroism in action, when the husband of a customer at Guardian Credit Union in West Allis jumps a robber and is joined by his wife who kicks the robber.
There must be something in the air in West Allis!
BTW, what is it with WISN not allowing embedding of their footage at YouTube of this robbery? Don’t they realize that this would expand the circulation of their video, exposure of their brand and viewership of the pre-roll ad they’ve placed at the start of their video? Get with it!
My hubby and I couldn’t get enough of this video. The man is like Superman…love it! And the woman’s immediate reaction which you can’t see from this angle was funny…but what took the cake is when she went over there and gave the robber a kick! LOL!!!
There is something in the air in WA… 🙂
While I applaud the guy for doing what he did, he’s damn lucky he didn’t get hurt.

Zach, I know that “doing something” is why you blog. The world needs many many more people that will do something, anything that resembles a willingness to sacrifice and take risks for the greater good.
Superman-guy, I salute you.
Rich, I think you misunderstood me. I wasn’t arguing the man should have stood idly by; I was just noting he’s damn lucky he didn’t get shot by the man he confronted.
Awesome!!! 🙂 A good citizen, doing something good for the community! Rare!
