Surprised it made the AJC!

Good Samaritan holds suspect at gunpoint, stops Marietta carjackings, police say.

In the span of just minutes, a good Samaritan was able to stop two carjackings in Cobb County and prevent the suspect from running away.

The carjackings happened Monday evening near the intersection of Delk Road and Franklin Gateway in Marietta. In both instances, police said, 66-year-old Gary Edwards ran to help the victims.

Riley is facing charges of attempted armed robbery, attempted robbery snatch, third-degree cruelty to children and possession of cocaine. He remains in the Cobb County jail without bond.

Good on you, Gary!

And the armed citizen was 66 years old! That gives me confidence that I can still be effective at age 51!

Just rememberā€¦
Never f**k around with old people.
The older we get, the less that ā€˜Live without paroleā€™ is a deterrent.

Havenā€™t been there in about 30 years and, obviously, things do change. Too bad, I remember it as a decent areaā€¦obviously, long ago. :confused:

Great that the ā€œroad rageā€ issue was handled well!

Otherwise, Cobb County is, in general, still a great place to live.
