Good thing you let them go, so they can just mosey on down the street and rip off the next guy.

Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic (or redneck), but I like to believe there was a time in this country when good honest folks didn't let crooks just walk away. When they did their best to hold them for authorities, to make sure they didn't bring the same grief to anyone else. We are all in this together, after all.

Seems today the attitude is a cross between "don't get involved" and "thank god it wasn't me" and really giving a rat's ass if they move on to the next guy. We have been pussy whipped into believing we should not "take the law into our own hands" no matter what we see. Hell, it seems we can even get into a great deal of trouble these days for even trying to do the right thing, with the benefit of the doubt going to the crooks. That's a real shame.

To make matters worse, throw a little "color" into the equation, and the cries of "racism" and "profiling" drown out whatever it is the punks were doing. We live in very strange times indeed.
