Iraqi War Veteran Working as a Liquor Store Clerk Stops Armed Robber

Typically, store clerks at liquor stores tend to make little money and are often women.  These jobs are very dangerous for the amount of pay primarily because of robberies that can turn into deadly encounters.  One way to even the odds as the ChildPeople.com found out is for liquor store owners to hire veterans like Jon Lewis Alexander who did four tours of duty in Iraq, worked as a prison guard, and also served as a bounty hunter.  In the video below, an armed robber enters a liquor store while smoking a cigarette with his left-hand and holding a gun behind his back with his right-hand.  The robber walks up to the store counter and demands money from the store clerk, Jon Lewis Alexander, then brandishes his gun.  In one seamless motion, Jon is able to push down the robber's right-hand onto the counter as he reaches for his own gun from behind his waist and shoves the gun into the robber's mouth with his right-hand.  The training and nerves of steal that Jon must have are incredible.  Watch the video below to see the security surveillance video from inside the liquor store.

Bronx Social Worker Gets Mugged, Takes Mugger to Dinner, and Gets Wallet Back

Although the ChildPeople.com highlights idiots displaying anti-social behavior and acting like spoiled children that need to be corrected, there are true heroes out there that deserve special mention.  I guess it makes perfect sense that Julio Diaz is a social worker.  It takes a special person to take on this profession.  Many are seen as part of government waste and bureaucracy, but when you see Heroes of Humanity like Julio Diaz, it quickly changes your mind.  You see, Julio, was riding the no. 6 train to the Bronx when he got mugged when he departed off the train.  Held at knife point, Julio handed over his wallet to the would be mugger.  One can only assume that it was a highly emotional event that would leave many people traumatized, angry, and scared, BUT Julio showed compassion towards the mugger and offered him his coat because it was a cold that night and took him to dinner.  After dinner, Julio got his wallet back and the knife from the mugger.  Although not mentioned in the story, we all hope the mugger's life took a turn for the better that cold desperate night.
