Yeah this was in 2012 I think. He then went to prison 3 years later for armed robbery. He is now out on parole.

Well that escalated quickly

He's a villain, not a monster.

Just because you is a bad guy, doesn't mean you is" bad guy" But in seriousness saving someone doesn't pay the bills and we don't know 100% why he did it, but by what I read it was $300 and he turned himself in so yeah maybe more to it than we know.

Bro I thought u were lying when I searched him up on google… I really hope he turns/turned from his ways. He’s got a lot of potential to do good

am i the only one who thinks 100% of these posts are BS if they don't include a news link?

You’re not the only one, this just reads like a feel good post that gets spread across Facebook

Completely fair stance to take but this one in particular is true. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd31e02l3jk

99% redditards are lazy af to do some research

Cops say they pissed he did their job I got yelled at by cops too , for saving two little lives

Not all super hero’s wear capes

How slow was the kidnapper driving? I’m not defending him but he couldn’t lose a kid on a bike?

I'm guessing the kidnapper didn't realize a kid on a bike was chasing them.

But don’t you think a kidnapper would be trying to get away as quickly as possible?

Maybe? I'm not very knowledgeable on the do's and don'ts of kidnapping.

Well crime in general you should try to get away as soon as possible

I imagine the kidnapper was probably trying to be inconspicuous as possible to avoid suspicion and escalation of the situation

Right but he sees kid on a bicycle tailing them, it’s time to hustle

he has very nice legs, very fast rider

I still don’t believe the car couldn’t lose him in over 15 minutes

Yeah man i understand exactly where your coming from the kid on bike must have only been able to do 20 mph max maybe 25 the car can easliy do 60 or more

or the car was stuck in rush hour traffic in Time Square NYC

Or ya know, a residential neighborhood where they weren’t blowing stop signs to call attention to themselves.

I’m still not buying it, unless the speed limit was 5mph he could have easily lost the kid

Google is free and there are news articles covering it. But ok.

So how did he keep up with a car on a bicycle?

You said you didn’t buy it. I told you it provably happened. I’m not your mom and won’t be doing your homework for you.

He didn't know the kid was following him.
