Whoever wrote the original story needs to go back to high school and learn how to write. The story, as written, is very imprecise and makes it seem like the "good guy" is the one with the criminal history. I'm sure that was not intentional, right?

My bad on the word processor cut and past....please add to my comments. .....Except here on ABC News4.

Kiet Ly is obviously a bane on society. Too many times released on the street and back again. Now we will have to worry will he get out AGAIN??? Punishment should be aimed at ending the criminal actions...just not the catch and release system we have...which makes a lot of lawyers, judges,press,and court rooms into money machines and high paying jobs. It also gives the press something to fill up countless hours of open air time, debating and criticizing any actions. Once punished the person should not want or be able to do this again. The person from Idaho almost did the permanent solution. If he had ended this mad mans life...he would have been torn down by the liberal press. He should be haled as a hero either way because taking a life to save others is an ultimate sacrifice of your own personal morals and opening yourself to constant inspection. Often times I present my thoughts here. I expect this type of comment to not make it again. KSL can not stand the label of liberal press and thus censors it. YOU will be very lucky to get to read this...

Salt Lake City police say the man who stopped the stabbings at Smith's is from rural Idaho and he doesn't want attention. Police say he was in the right place at the right time and his quick action likely saved lives. A REAL HERO who isn't looking for the Media attention and a freaking reality show. AND A GUN OWNER, see how LEGAL ones act as opposed to deadbeats and hoodies? We use our guns for GOOD, they steal theirs for crimes and that's why taking guns from the law abiding will never solve the law breaking from breaking them, they'll use a knife, a 2 x 4, whatever they can find. That man saved lives and didn't cost a one. Take that you gun haters and you're probably another reason why he wants to remain anonymous before he's used by the anti gun people and destroyed for some reason or another.
