"That kind of made me mad."
It's amazing how everyone else is paralyzed or otherwise just tries to ignore what's happening.

Running on that adrenaline rush of taking down an armed gunman
Hey, my train line.
The guy seems like he acted nobly but I gotta say his tack did really risk escalating the situation. A bunch of comments are like "nobody was doing anything!" That's probably because there are emergency buttons all over these train cars and they're heavily surveilled and cops were likely already on their way and coordinating with the conductor. Not like there was much of anywhere for the robber to go.

What the fuck are you talking about? Did you even watch the video? The guy holding the gun was the good guy, you dingus.
Someone should have quickly helped take the gun away from the situation and help the guy restrain him.
He had him completely disarmed and pinned. Instead of fucking giving him a hand with the situation someone just says "please don't make it worse than is already is". That's sort of depressing although understandable.
Obviously it's extremely dangerous, and going for the gun could have gone horribly wrong, but he seemed more than capable of disarming him apparently.

Probably worried the guy would try to take it back while no one was helping him. Definitely scary though, could have gone off.
i noticed that as well. Thank goodness he asked for help putting the safety on.
holding a gun with your finger on the trigger like that is just asking for accidental discharge.
In my many years on the NYC subway I feel like if that happened on the MTA it's likely that dude would have been wrestled to the ground by other people if he was disarmed. But it would also depend on the time of day, who's on the train car, etc.

He runs two marathons after beating your ass instead of one.
I know. He still had a gun and had his finger on the trigger. i wouldn't have come near that situation with a ten foot pole.

That says a lot about you then. That guy, by himself is trying to save everyone's life, and you'd just fucking sit there like an idiot, when the other guy is already disarmed and pinned?
Dude chose to seek out and confront an armed robber because he was angry. I do believe most people would not choose to risk their life over that.
He was angry that the gunman was robbing his fellow marathon runners trying to get to the race and decided he would do something about it, seeing that he had the training and experience to take someone down.
Most people would not do that. This guy is a hero.
If it had already gotten to that point where the robber was restrained and disarmed and I were right there I'd like to think I'd put the safety on or even take the clip out. But any time before? Fuck no I'm not doing anything. The cops are already on their way and the robber has nowhere to go. Escalating a situation with a desperate piece of shit over the $60 in my wallet when dude is already screwed and won't get to keep it would make me a dingus.
Dude what, he did the exact goddamn opposite. He endangered EVERYONE by escalating the situation. In what world is it safer to fight a robber than to just comply with their demands. Yes, in the end he prevented more people from being robbed, but it did NOT come without an increased risk of harm to him and bystanders.
Right, I'm talking about once it's gotten to the point in the video. When the guy has him restrained and disarmed, someone should have immediately taken the gun, and others help restrain the guy.
The guy could throw 7 punches in 3 seconds.
Pretty sure they would've been fine.
What a great guy, risky it may be but he is still awesome for stopping that piece of filth robber.
I don't think he did the right thing. The right thing is to run away, push the emergency button and let cops handle. If robbed, just give the guy the money, he'll get arrested at the first station anyways.
This idiot, brave as he is, risked escalating the situation, causing a shooting in a place where a bullet would either impact him or someone around him given how crowded the place was. Americans need to stop celebrating this kind of reckless behaviour, it was the other passengers who did the right thing here.

Making Boston proud. Currently in Chicago too, probably should've checked out local news. Thank god none of his friends tried to do anything, situation could have gotten worse.
After he had the gun I'm pretty sure I would've helped him out, maybe not put the safety on the gun since I've never held one but hold the guy down or something.
