What is going on with so many homeless people gaining access to knives and stabbing people ?

Pasadena has an element of unstable homeless vagrants because of its easy access to the metro. I run a farmers market there on Thursdays and we’re always kicking the unruly ones out !

Good because people are not going to put up with this shit much longer. Nothing our government seems to do about it and not enough police patrolling.

Good for them. However, you wouldn't have those problems if people voted for people who wanted to actually stop those problems. Y'all voted to defund the police in So Cal. Reap what you sow.

Restaurants have plenty of weapons they could have used as well to subdue the perp.

PasadenaPD Great job by these business community members!

Weird. They took him down without a gun nor killing him. How is that possible? I've never seen it done by the trained popo :/ ?

Awesome what happens when citizens start fighting back

I would have called one of those “unarmed professionals “. He would have smacked him with his iPad.

Getting rowdy in Dena Dane.

Good!!!

Which Pasadena restaurant? …so I can go eat there and tip these heroes.

Pepper gel sprayed him…

That’s how it should be done! 👏 👏 👏

It's very sad that restaurant workers have to add acting security guards in their resumes

Good, thank you dear God and angels, 72 y.grandma

The damage was not to the restaurant…

THIS is going to be the new norm…. Victim(s) and bystanders will not be that anymore… Bad people with guns, knives, and sticks will meet good people with guns, knives, and sticks..

Owners of that business I bet treats employees well for them to have acted like this.

The way police act might as well do their job for them! Now whenever they respond to a call they take forever to come and with an attitude! Like sorry for asking you to do your job buddy! 😒

Shout out to them and my credit union right next door! :)

Great work. More if this needs to happen. There’s a lot of whack jobs thinking they can do what they want with no repercussions

That’s how we do it over here!

Por eso deberían de respetar nuestro derecho constitucional disque, de portar armas todos los ciudadanos, pero ese derecho no le conviene al estúpido gobierno abusivo y represivo. completamente COMUNISTA.

The Wild West!

LA in a nutshell. lawless

Pasadena where you at? I 👀 you.

3rd world country yo!

Restaurant Workers: You're welcome!

Thanks to GavinNewsom GeorgeGascon and MayorOfLA you have no other options crime pays 🤬

Yes!

To me this is a strange question. Why would you NOT get involved. Why would you NOT help make your community a better place. The better question would be who is the person who would sit idly by and not help. We need more helpers, less haters.

Get used to it.

Doesn’t matter Gascon will release him an hour later might even press charges on the employees for assault welcome to the new Los Angeles county

Good for those workers!! They’re hero’s

Wonderful to see men take charge and take action. These days we mostly see bystanders take out their phones and only film incidents.

🤙🏼👊🏼💥👊🏼

Depends on the situation I guess. If he is about to hurt someone he has gotta go 🤔

And that's what can happen when you don't instruct your employees to just sit on their asses and let the criminals do whatever they want to.

People gotta start doing the right thing and taking the law into their own hands since our politicians are on the sides of criminals.

We’re (citizens) are getting sick and tired of this shit, so yeah, I would go after the suspect.

I’m trying to figure out which Rest this is? Lol I’m like always in Pasadena🫣

Calm down..

Maybe GavinNewsom should include this in his next “move to California it’s better here” ad

We should ban assault knives! That should take care of this mental health crisis!

George Gascon's people

Awesome! Totally awesome! Alright Hamilton!

Knife wielding madmen count on people not to take action against them. It’s time for us to fight back.
