It turns out that not everyone is afraid to put their own lives at risk in order to catch a criminal. The account of how Chris Sacca's attempt to write down the license plate of a drive by shooter proves what we all can do as citizens. I am always amazed by those that are so self sacrificing in their effort to do good. This proves that not everyone out there is a bad person and there are those that truly want to help. It is quite inspiring to be frank and it should motivate us all to do the same. Imagine what our streets would be like if we all stood up against the thugs out there that choose to use terror and other techniques in order to intimidate the rest of us.

I would also like to thank Robert Scoble for bringing this account to my attention through his blog. This again proves that community driven news can be truly beneifical for the society at large. Of course there is many crappy blogs out there, perhaps many consider mine to be in that category because I choose to keep my private life private. However I am sure that if I witnessed something like a shooting I would record my experience down and share it with as many people as I could.

I did not think I would be so enthralled by a blog entry but I have to say that this account is truly gripping reading, mostly because it is from a "real person" and not some faceless newspaper reporter.

Today I am amazed!
