That's a real hero, a person who knows exactly how to react in a dangerous situation even if he put his own life in danger. I know is his job but not every body do it, specially in such a great way. Well done. Thanks for share it Ed.

One Bad-Ass Canuck right there. Makes me SO proud.
This happened right where I live. The whole incident still resonates.

All law-abiding Canucks deserve the same right to defend themselves and others in this fashion. Is there, perhaps, a movement afoot towards some sort of 2nd Amendment for Canadians? You're a fine people; you deserve it.

Excuse me, but people everywhere in every country not just deserve but have that inherent basic right of self-defense which tragically has been confiscated by Liberal/Democrat/Progressive anti-gun laws and regulations.

We are many with Kevin Vickers'-like potential to rise to the challenge who might rise to such challenges similarly but are left to be armed only with a mobile phone call to Domino's or Jimmy John's for fast response.

In the U.S., Vickers would be on administrative leave while Eric Holder's DOH attack dogs search for evidence of racism/racial bias, aided by CAIR and the ACTU.

YMMV ; <)
