A Photo Essay

Apparently a man mugs a woman in Chicago’s Chinatown then takes off running. Two citizens chase after the mugger and restrain him, waiting for police to arrive. A photojournalist happens upon the scene (his office was nearby, he was going out for lunch). This is what he captured on film.

What I took from it:

  • Crime happens at any time of the day, any where.
  • When a mugger, robber, burglar, rapist, or any other assorted scumbag says “Do this and I won’t do that”, why should you believe him? The scumbag has already demonstrated they’re a scumbag and untrustworthy.
  • It took the police 7-8 minutes to arrive, and then all they did was clean up.
  • There are good people in this world, willing to step up and help. We need more such people.
  • Don’t go messing around in Chinatown… people will “put moves” on you. 😉
