This is one of those GREAT stories that just NEEDS to be shared!

We’ve all seen the stories and the John Stossel ABC television stories back in the day showing the surprising effect of “group think”.

Invariably, the test subject is surrounded by a group of people (paid actors) who have instructions not to respond to whatever bad thing is about to unfold.

The man takes the candy from the child… the husband starts getting rough with his wife in public… somebody kicks an animal — you get the picture.

The setup is always the same: will the person who doesn’t know it’s not real… step up and intervene?

Will they say anything, and speak up for the one being abused?

They almost never do, because according to the “group think” thesis, almost everyone is waiting to see what EVERYONE ELSE will do, first.

No one wants to act “too soon”, or (God forbid) commit the heinous crime of overreacting.  So, what happens?

Almost no one ever does anything about anything.

ALMOST no one, and ALMOST never… that is.  Because that’s not what happened in this instance.

This time the good guys came out of the woodwork — and they were EVERYWHERE!

You might say that it’s a little much to call these folks ‘heroes’ just for doing what everyone OUGHT to do, finding themselves presented with the same situation.

But in today’s culture, if you have the guts and backbone to step up knowing full well almost no one ever does… (and you’re likely to get SUED if you’re judged to have overreacted)…

I’m calling that heroic.  And I bet this mother trying to protect her 2 small kids would call them that, too.

Here’s the clip — you be the judge!

The man — later identified, tracked and arrested — attempted to drive off in the family vehicle with the children still buckled in.

The mother of two desperately clung to the vehicle, trying with all her might to stop her children from being snatched away right in front of her.

Without hesitation, nearly every bystander in the parking lot, and some from inside the building, rushed to stop the kidnapping, according to Fox News:

A group of courageous Good Samaritans are being hailed as heroes after stepping in to save a woman and two small children from what could have been a devastating situation outside a Jacksonville, Florida, Department of Motor Vehicles office.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO), witnesses saw a man attempting to drive away in an SUV while a woman desperately tried to remove her two young children, just 2 years old and 6 months old, from the back seat.

Investigators say the man, later identified as 26-year-old Yanni Human, was driving off “against the woman’s will, dragging her and one of the children through the parking lot.”

What happened next was nothing short of remarkable.

“More than a dozen Jacksonville Good Samaritans stepped in during a dangerous situation, potentially saving a mother and two children from serious injury or worse,” the JSO wrote in a Facebook post describing the incident.

Without hesitation, bystanders rushed in, managing to pull the woman and children to safety as the vehicle continued moving. The man fled the scene, but not before witnesses provided a detailed description and the SUV’s license plate number to 911 dispatchers.

JSO’s District 6 Task Force officers used that information, along with surveillance footage, to locate and arrest Human later that day at a nearby shopping center.

Talk about an unexpected response!  And GOOD FOR THEM!

Check out this post from Fox News that shows a more close-up view of the attempted kidnapping:

Here’s the full screen video player for easier viewing:

The man was later caught using the surveillance video and the SUV’s license plate number.

An ABC affiliate covered the story, pointing out that the bystanders all came out of a local DMV:

Bodycam footage (as seen in the video above) later released by the Police showed the moment the suspect was taken into custody at gunpoint later that day, according to a story from The Blaze:

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office this week released video of the scary incident, which took place March 12.

Citing the arrest affidavit, Mediaite reported that the suspect “struck the woman in the face and then attempted to drive off with the children as she was unbuckling one of them.”

Onlookers noticed that the woman was being dragged from the moving vehicle as she attempted to save her children in the back seat from the apparent kidnapping.

Several Good Samaritans jumped into action to swarm the SUV.

Surveillance video shows the vehicle coming to a stop, and the crowd is able to help the mother remove the two young children from the vehicle.

The SUV then speeds away from the crime scene.

However, witnesses provided the SUV’s license plate number to authorities, and police were able to track down the alleged kidnapper.

Police bodycam footage shows deputies with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office apprehending the suspect at gunpoint later that day at a nearby shopping center.

Not every story that starts with a criminal’s bad intentions ends the way it should.

There’s a reason, down here in Texas, we tend to carry ‘options’ for scenarios just like this one.

The problem is that darn “group think” which invariably kicks in.

For whatever reason, the people at that DMV on that particular day either weren’t the type to worry about what everyone else would do or think — or else, they had prepared ahead of time to be READY for the possibility that something like this might happen one day.

And one day… it did.  But they were ready.

Good for them.  And really good for that mother and her two babies.

I hope we’re all a little more ready to shake off that blasted “group think” after watching these HEROES go to work like they did to save that family a lifetime of pain and loss.

I’ll end this by telling you what I tell everyone I know whenever the subject comes up: don’t leave your house without a gun, plain and simple.

If you don’t have one, get one.  If you don’t know how to use it, get help and get trained.

That tends to be a problematic bit of advice depending on which state you live in — but I’m not going to pretend the principle I’m basing this on CHANGES… just because of bad leadership in your area, if you get the hint.

Don’t let all those excuses put you in this parking lot — either as the mother with her kids, or a LONE BYSTANDER without all the help in this instance — and not have ‘options’.

Don’t wait until that once-in-a-blue-moon event happens, and it’s too late to be prepared for it.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed (yes, I do… you’ve noticed), but those ‘blue moon’ and ‘black swan’ events seem to be happening more and more often.

Don’t rely on luck, or a big crowd, or happenstance.

Go armed.  If not for yourself, then for those you can help… if you’re there at the right time and place to stop someone else’s lifetime of pain and loss from happening.

Go armed.  Cut through the excuses, (all of them), and find a way.

That situation could have turned out a lot different if that crowd hadn’t reacted, and it could have turned out a lot different if there was only ONE PERSON — and no crowd — to assist when it mattered.

Be that person that’s ready with the right tools, and the right training to use those tools, when your fellow man needs someone to have that tool and that training at the ready.

You’ll never regret being prepared — and neither will the people you will be able to help, if that ‘blue moon’ ever shows up on your watch.
