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.

Okay, the older fella reminded me of watching a Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Arnold Schwartzenegger or Sly Stallone movie. He was like, just watching for awhile, then he slowly jumped into action mode. What really impressed me was when his wife came over and kicked the guy...she's a "real" ride-or-die chick..lol!!

USING THE WORD " GRANDPA " IS JUST A WAY FOR THE WRITER TO SENSATIONALIZE THE STORY, MAKING IT SEEM SOME OLD MAN TACKLED THIS ROBBER.

I am sick of these low life's ruining the quality of life in America for the rest of us. They should pack them all up and send them to some third world country to live like dogs or to the north or south poles to try and find food! I would have kicked him too!!!

Some people are just stupid.
But Grandpa is pretty game, & the lady obviously always liked a good game of Kickball.
It's too bad they didn't have the audio with the video. I'll bet the converation was as good.
Damn thieves why should our interest rates go up because of lazy meglomaniacs like you??!!
I would say he's narsasistic, but he went down too easy.

Grandpa did a great heroic thing. He risked his own life and safety but the outcome was in the good guy's favor.
I would have probably done the same thing to be honest!
Criminals must never be allowed to get away with heinous acts.
The general public has a duty to take back the neighborhoods, streets, towns, schools, banks.

I work for a bank and you all herald this guy as a hero. In my opinion, he is a moron. If he miss the "take down" or get over powered after the take down, the punk could get up and start shooting. This is for money that is insured. I could see it if it is someone family or personnel property, but not the banks money. If he or someone (not the punk) had been killed, the comments would be different. You would be calling him a fool too.

Gentlemen...I am a liberal Democrat and a card carrying member of the NRA, ACLU, Sierra Club etc... And I say shoot the b*stard! That is what guns are for. A felony should be treated as such.
Have a nice day ;>)

Applaud the gentleman that nothing criminal or fatal happened in this scenario. However, there must be a reason banks do not encourage their employees to tackle, chase or thwart a robbery. For all you superheros, have you noticed as crimes increase the violence and weapontry of the criminal have increased? Bad is just bad, not matter what you do. Enticing good people to act as heros only entice the criminal to shoot first to show you mean business and face the consequences later if you get caught.
