[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1297196, member: 44954"] Drug addiction and mental health problems are serious concerns of mine too RR.... and I too am glad the samaritan didn't have to fire his weapon. Like most legal and knowledgeable gun carriers, he showed the proper restraint and made good decisions to defuse the situation. However I will say, police being en route doesn't do much for an innocent guy getting stabbed with a possibly contaminated heroin needle when he's just doing his security job at home depot. Standing by and waiting for police to show up is one option, but unfortunately not every criminal will just sit down and wait for police to arrive (especially the mentally and physically afflicted). Everyone has to make a personal decision of what to do in a situation like this, and I'm glad this ended well for everyone involved. Hopefully this guy will be one of the few that get help for his addiction as he moves through the broken prison system, although I gotta say.... I'm not holding my breath for that pipe dream.
