LOCAL MEN BEAT THUG AND RESCUE BABY

   Monday night, the picturesque ocean-side village of Cambria, California was hit with a horrible crime and subsequent manhunt. A dirtbag stabbed his girlfriend and abducted their 2 year-old daughter. The mother---though wounded with life-threatening injuries---crawled to a neighbor's house and called for help, but not before the scum had escaped. The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff issued an Amber Alert. 

    
    Thanks though to the actions of some local men, said dirtbag is now in jail and little Bethanie Carraza is safe. According to KTVU-2 San Jose, the thug pulled into the Old Cambria Market and Shell Station. He was leaving the market when someone recognized his car. Four men followed the man outside and surrounded him. An altercation broke out, and the Market's manager Eric Johnson applied a choke-hold. Meanwhile someone procured some zip-ties and trussed up the kidnapper---the biggest Christmas Turkey of the season! 

    The baby was put in a children's home while her mother recuperates. The mother was listed in critical but stable condition. We hope that she recovers and learns from her mistakes. In fact, all single women can learn from this: this is what you get when you have relationships with bad boys. 

    A man named Andrew Torres was the man who rushed out into the street and rescued the mother. A man named Eric Johnson and four unidentified other men were the men who rescued the little girl. Two male policemen responded to the scene. That's eight men who risked their lives for a mom and her baby. Yet the actual father sits in jail after stabbing the mom and abducting the girl. Think about that. 

   Another interesting side-note was that---aside from a passing mention by KTVU---most other articles I've seen don't even mention that these were men who rescued the child. They refer to 'Good Samaritans' and 'local citizens' but pointedly leave out who they were. One article mentions that the struggle was captured on an I-Phone; it may be so, but as of this writing, I haven't seen in it any news outlets. This story just doesn't fit the toxic masculinity narrative. Reality has a way of by-passing Political Correctness though.

   Good Men doing Good Things: that's what it's all about.
