You mean, he wasn’t fired for resisting a criminal?
Like to know what martial arts move uses the full speed tackling and foot trapping technique.
I really hope the owners reward him well.
He probably makes $12/hour, is a regular citizen, and the common attitude today is simply stay low, and let someone else take care of it, especially if its a plain cash robbery.
Yet his natural sense of justice and right-and-wrong come to the fore, and he acted on it.
I hope someone recognizes that.
Good for the young man having stopped a criminal, but he seems to make a LOT of questionable choices.
#1. Most restaurants say ‘let the burglar take the money and go. Do not interfere or impede.’ I know of someone who was fired from a local grocery store for helping to hold a thief down till the cops arrived.
#2. Holding onto the burglars ankle, just to get Crowbarred in the face? Is it really worth throwing your life on the line for this? The burglar could have smacked the IHOP guy into a permanent coma.
#3. Giving a live interview on camera while still dressed in bloody uniform shirt.
Not smart. The IHOP district manager may not like seeing their logo connected to such a violent event. It seems the employee was showboating.
If anyone from that restaurant were to give an interview, it should have been the manager. This guy just seems to want the glory.
“He went from serving pancake combos to serving...”...justice.
The Corporate Scum of IHOP will probably show him the door for his heroism.
