There really never IS a cop around when you need one.

Kevin Jaeger of the once and future “Trudeaupia” blog writes at The Shotgun of one of those great moments in civilization, or in this case civilizing the uncivilized:

« I'm sure you recall the story of Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh getting stabbed to death in a Stockholm department store. At the time it seemed astounding that bystanders would stand by passively and let the perpetrator escape.

Well, recently a fellow with a long history of domestic violence and a restraining order in place tried to stab his ex-wife, except this time it happened in a Wal Mart in Albuquerque:

So a 72 year old bystander comes to her aid and saves her. I can never comprehend why so many are committed to disarming the law abiding.»
