I understand the bank's liability and why the teller lost his job. At the same time, it doesn't look too good for our society when someone does stand up and do the right thing, to risk themselves to stop a career criminal, to say enough is enough...and people just wish he would have been an easier victim.

If more people were like the teller then less people would be like the bank robber.

He admits in the article that he did it because he is an adrenaline junkie and loves the thrill of it.
