Imagine witnessing horrific carnage and still having the resolve and inner strength to say "If you kill this man, who will take care of your family?"

Dudley Green is a hero and it hurts my heart to think he hesitated to share his story for fear of being hated.

It's the basic law that citizens leave consequences to law enforcement and it's really important to remember when angry mobs threaten to take the law into their own hands - I feel so bad for Green.

Interestingly, this is not uncommon in the aftermath of vehicle ramming attacks. In the 2017 Finsbury Park mosque attack, Darren Osborne was saved from an angry mob by the intervention of the mosque’s imam. Several other cases also come to mind.
