As much as an ego might take control for you to try to be a hero, it's not your responsibility unless you're near certain that you can avoid collateral damage and a likely death to yourself IMO. I'd let them steal it, try to secure a safe location or flee if at all possible. It really is the duty of ALL citizens to be wary of their surroundings and protect themselves. I wouldn't take the role of a police officer unless I'm very certain of the outcome and that I will then act accordingly. If you're willing to die for a stranger, that's fine, but you should make sure that others won't face deaths or life threatening injuries resulting from a retaliated shootout you caused. That's just my opinion.

According to the article, the ccw isn't the one who originally opposed the robbers, the ccw didn't engage until the original "good Samaritan" had been assaulted.

I agree that it's not worth risking your hide over some large corporations jewels, but but standing by while someone else gets killed is another matter.

I wasn't necessarily referring specifically to the article itself, just a general thought actually.
