Wow, it would have been so easy for the suspect to have rushed away while witnesses wondered what exactly they were seeing, but instead these brave girls took quick action. Much respect to them.

I hope the suspect won't just receive a plea deal or light sentence and be quickly back out. He's so dangerous!

Well.... We are probably going to be seeing these three girls all over the news, keys to the city etc....

The message is profound, and they should be honored for this bravery AND skill.
But feel it will get carried away.
Whatever... that is our media.
AND they are heroes.

What the H* was this suspect thinking. Was the ice cream truck a front, or a legit business?
Clearly, he would be readily identified for doing or saying anything....

I really am feeling "super proud" feelings for these girls at this moment.
WHAT a message for parents as well as kids.
