Would-be bank robber Senister Smith (btw, a first name parents should avoid) certainly looked the part, with his hood and his mask.But he should have been watching his flank, as the teller assembled his ill-gotten booty. Then maybe he wouldn't have suffered such an embarrassing takedown via 54-year-old Matt Knetzger, who hurdled the velvet ropes like a big cat before tackling the 22-year-old.
Knetzger said he sprung into action because Smith was getting too close to Knetzger's wife, who had been dealing with the teller when Smith barged in. We can't confirm that the middle-aged woman gleefully kicking Smith as Knetzger holds him down is Knetzger's wife, but it would be awesome if it was. Smith was arrested and charged.

The grandpa would have faced murder charges as he was not being personally threatened. Murder isn't the solution to everything rednecks.

some states u dont have to be in danger yourslf. As long as someone is in danger you can step in and assist (or shot).

goglda - You're right.
htc - If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Treating criminals with kid gloves has gotten us no where, or haven't you noticed?

good for this man. thank god he didnt get shot by this crook. his wife should have kept kicking him or taken one of the metal rope posts and given him a good whack. its about time criminals get a taste of their own medicine

If only we all had laws like Texas. Not too many people would trespass if they knew there was a possibility of getting, legally, shot in the face.

Roglda, now all the bleeding hearts liberals are going to jump on you, defending a poor kid trying to make a living off a bank.

Wholeheartedly agree, Roglda! The guy was robbing the bank, doesn't matter if he had a gun or not, he deserves to be SHOT to be STOPPED! I wish more people would get involved in stopping crime like this guy did! If more people carried guns legally and stood up to criminals like this, the criminals would think twice about pulling this garbage!

You could shoot him if he poses a threat to YOU or ANYONE around you so it wouldn't be murder it would be self defence! and thats the law here in MA, one of the most liberal states in the nation where its illegal to sneeze wrong haha. Good job and I wish they wouldn't make the poor guy sound so old, hes only in his 50's haha

Interesting story... but this is the Worst written article I have ever read. It made absolutely no sense. At least, not until I saw the video.

I would say that most bankrobbers make a threat of having a weapon of some type be it a gun,knife or occasionally a bomb. So if the gentlemen had had gun and had shot him he would have in most states be innocent of any crime since he met force with force. When a bankrobber enters a building and threatens violence in order to obtain complince he threatens everyone in the bank and not just the teller he is dealing with. Although if the gentlemen had been licensed to carry a concealed firearm he most likely would not have shot the man only threaten him and held him for police. However, if the robber escalated the situation by presenting a weapon then the gentlemen would surely have blown him away. We should never defend criminals who obviously break the lawy and threaten innocent civilians. Theree are other ways to deal with not having any money. Unemplyment, welfare, churches, salvation army, begging panhandling, etc.

NOW you know you dont mean that remark, if you did you need help bad, remember the constitution of this country, while i sympathize with your thoughts, especially about child molesters.
this is such a great country they are lined up to come here.
we must preserve,protect our Constitution, this is what seperates us from the Russians,Chinese and all the other bad guys

Jennifer, you really don't think this crook would rob a bank on the bad side of town, do you? He might get mugged and lose all his hard earned cash!
