Just about an hour ago I was sitting at my desk here at work minding my own business. Just so you know, I have a large window which overlooks our parking lot across the street. Anyways I start hearing screaming and I look over and see one of the women from our building being attacked by a mugger. She was screaming at the top of her lungs being swung around while the guy tried to steal her purse. She eventually was thrown to the ground and he made off with the purse. While this is going on I yelled that someone was getting mugged and ran outside. I called the cops and followed the mugger while talking to 911. I looked like Neo in The Matrix when he first got a call from Morpheus, running with phone in hand.

Anyway, the mugger tried playing it cool walking briskly. He was wearing a smooth leather jacket with a huge hood, black jeans, black shoes. He tried to evade me by turning corners every block, but I didn't give up. Eventually he turned into an ally that cut through to another street. At that point I said to myself okay, I don't know what weapons he has and he could jump me in the ally, so I told the other guy who I was with to watch that side while I ran around to the other opening to the ally. By that time the Pittsburgh police showed up. As we were figuring out what happened, someone from a house in the ally said the guy was in his back yard huddled behind a fence. So we went in, the cop saw him and told him to freeze. He tried hopping both fences back to the ally and tried escaping out the way he came when a cop showed up on that side. The cop drew his gun and told the guy to hit the fuckin' ground. Arrested.

Upon inspecting where he was hiding, he ditched his jacket, gloves, and a handgun (actually a BB gun that looked like a hand gun). Nice. As for the woman she is sore from being thrown around and very shaken up, but she's fine. Apparently the guy jumped her, put the gun to her throat and said "give me the fucking purse bitch" and she said "no fucking way" and it was on. Thankfully it ended the way it did. Next step, court. I'll get to go in, they'll ask me if thats the guy, I'll say yes, and he'll be booked. By law his fake gun counts as the real thing. Good times.

The money shot. I took this with my cell phone as he was getting arrested.

I've actually considered buying a gun.

Your post couldn't be manlier. Awesome.
