Last month, we saw an absolutely incredible act of calm heroism as a church security man stopped a bad-guy gunman with the power good-guy arms (read more on the horror at the West Freeway Church of Christ here):

Well, there’s a new video in town.

We don’t have a lot of information on the incident.

[Not a lot = None]

But here’s what the security footage shows:

A group of people are in line at what looks like a clothing or department store when they start exiting the area like swimmers out of the water after the fin was spotted in Jaws.

One shirker of the shark: a dude in a shortsleeve yellow shirt.

The crowd skeedaddles past the flip flops.

And in walks Jabber Jaws.

One thing of note: Just before he bails, Sir Yellow Polo briefly pulls up the bottom of his shirt. Was that a moment of decision?

Back to Jaws: A gunman walks into view wearing a motorcycle helmet. He appears to put his pistol in his pants and go behind the counter to cash in on his crime.

But then, Life is a Beach: Yellow Guy comes back with both hands around the grip of a gun, firing repeatedly at the robber.

Glass breaks. A monitor falls to the floor.

Several seconds pass, and still no more sign of Mr. Motorbike.

Check out the video.

Obviously, it’s not always the right decision to open fire on a felon in a public place.

However, as some tragic events over the last several months have reminded us, if the threat isn’t neutralized, innocents may pay the price.

Let me know what you think about the guy’s bold move.

One thing’s for sure: The guy in the helmet liked it none.
