I was taking the trash out at my old shop, when I heard a commotion going on in on the second story of the apartment building across the parking lot. I look up in time to see a young lady being forced down the steps hurriedly. I dropped the trash, ran around the fence between us, and waited in the parking area to decide what I would have to do. In a few seconds, I saw him force her into his car, and at that point I dialed 911, and promptly gave the operator all the details I could before he got out of sight. They caught him just a couple of miles away. What makes it a "fuck it" moment for me is that I had opportunity to grab my 9mm out of my shop, and I also had opportunity to stab his tire with my pocketknife, but I was much more concerned about making sure that the girl was not going to be hurt, and getting the cops as much detail as possible. Apparently it worked.
