A New Trend in Crime Fighting

I think a new trend will begin in the post-9/11 world. I think victims will be more likely to fight back against those who are committing a crime. An example of this is a recent situation where some guys who were playing basketball behind a church were attacked by a guy with an AK-47. They rushed him and subdued him until the police could get there. Also, I heard on the radio on my way home from work today that a convenience store manager in Bridgeport, CT was approached while closing his store and threatened with a gun. He pulled out his own gun and shot the guy. The robber fled the scene and later tried to claim he was a victim of s drive-by shooting. He was arrested at the hospital.
