Four young men from Calgary who stopped the attempted rape of a 15 year old girl.
These dudes from Calgary were skateboarding in a parking garage when they came across a man attacking a 15 year old girl. They stopped him, and one helped her while the other three chased down the man and held him until the police arrived. The four of them received an award last month from the Calgary police. Arnaud Nimenya, Carsyn Wright, James Hielema and Starlyn Rivas-Perez - Canada's finest!

Since they're Canadians I hope they yelled ARE YOU SORRY?! in that rapist's face as they held him down.

Maybe the saddest part of this (aside from the assault) is that they were afraid of getting in trouble for attacking the attacker...

The legal system for most of the first world is set up to protect the criminal.

ya, sucks that the legal system is set up in a way where you have to second guess doing thing right thing
TheVaguestDiscomfort
Sometimes doing the right thing involves unavoidable violence. Our justice system needs to understand that.

It does. There's still an investigation, as there should be, but the result was that they walked and received medals. Also as it should be

I think if more attention was given to the (sweedish?) guys than to The Rapist Brock Turner, we would have more examples like this.

Which story is this? I missed it. The Swedish guys one, I mean.
pinkystar
Was the same story if brock the rapist. Swedish guys rescued the girl and caught brock in the act.
CatCuddles
I thought the Swedish guys wanted to remain unknown? I remember them being terribly upset over the whole thing, one crying with the cops.

They are Swedish, and I agree! They saved her life, she said she drew two bicycles and put it on her wall to remember her two heroes

exactly. Wrong emphasis by the media.

It was Swedish dudes that stopped him...but the scene was so fucked up they had a hard time talking about it

Ah. I'd missed that detail.

They thought they were going to get in trouble with the police for fighting with the attacker...and they STILL did it. +1

It's a pathetic country where you have to worry about getting in trouble with the state for doing the right thing.
TheWarHymn
Agreed...
dweadpiewitwobbits
Well, they did apologize profusely to the rapist as they beat him to a pulp.
Haraken
They are Canadians, sure they will apologies for the rudeness. Although regretting it is a whole other matter. Nothing scarier than 1/2

It's sad we have to celebrate something we should expect from a good person, but since people often walk by, start filming (1).
GeneralBLUE88
The same guy you stopped to save their life for would sue you for mental trauma caused by an accident you didn't take part in
GeneralBLUE88
But also want to add that filming it would help identify the perpetrator without the risk of being sued by anyone

Yay for Canada :) I love the diversities here. Sadly in smaller areas it extremely racist. Not all places but a lot more than in the cities.

While we still have a very white population, our metro areas tend to be pretty diverse. Lower average birth rate, higher immigration.

You mean just like every other metropolitan are in the 1st world? That's so weird.
SirBrendan
No, not like every other on account of us having only 1/3 identify as Canadian ethnicity and another 1/3 as visible minorities nationwide.

And what's the other 1/3
SirBrendan
Europeon ethnicity, predominantly French and British Isles
isaidhelloyoufooliloveyou
What qualifies as ethnically Canadian? I'm genuinely curious.
SirBrendan
Good question. Literally just self-identity. So a Jamaican-Canadian may identify ethnically as such; while a Metis or Quebecois as Canadian
SirBrendan
So for example, my Metis wife identifies as Canadian and would be as such on our stats. But I'm a second-generation, so I choose not to
