What Were These Guys Thinking?

Two men in Lawrence, Massachusetts recently acted in a spontaneous manner, without forethought, to protect a small child from imminent harm.

Exactly the kind of "self-help" behavior that Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley discourages members of the peasantry class from practicing.

I guess she'd prefer if those heroic bystanders had just called 911 and watched the child tumble to her death.
