Austin 6th Street mugging video suspect caught

Thanksfully this jerk was caught based on this video being played on all the Austin TV news stations - he was apparently turned in by his "buddies"

For purposes of relating to the CHL theme of this forum, I don't think there is enough time to draw a gun and try to "stop" this crime in progress, even if you're a bystander and see it go down right in front of you. The assault and theft is over and done with in a matter of seconds. Once he has the purse and is fleeing, there is no logner an immediate threat of imminent harm to the woman - the harm has already been done and the criminal is fleeing.

What say you?
