The citizens of Seattle don't take kindly to crime in their city.

Pedestrians in downtown Seattle jumped into action on Friday after an armed thief robbed a jewelry store - with a group of bystanders stopping the suspect and holding the man down in a scary sidewalk melee in front of the Hotel MAX until police could arrive.

From the video, one can see the criminal’s pistol was jammed. That likely saved some lives.

Thanks for the post. Once again, we have to go to an overseas news source to read a story like this.
