For every minute you are angry , you lose 60 seconds of happiness."-Emerson
do we know he put others at risk?
Like the previous saying goes, all that Evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing. So the guy was stealing a motorcycle, no idea what he was going to do with it, or who might have been hurt or the numbers killed in the process of whatever actions would have resulted from the guy stealing the motorcycle, the comparison to the spiderman thing where peter parker steps aside and lets the robber go past unhindered, is a good example of how badly things can go, when ostensibly good people do nothing, in the case of peter parker, his uncle was killed by his inaction, except that wasn't the end of it, the guy went on to continue his crime spree before peter parker eventually caught up to him again and put an end to his criminal career a bit more permanently, if unintentionally, just think, if peter parker had not stood aside and done nothing, he might have got hurt, but his uncle would be alive, the thief would have been behind bars, and not yet another corpse.
Doing something, was a sign that the guy had good moral fiber, was he a hero, i don't know, maybe he was, as heroism comes in many forms, but either way, the world would be a much better place if fewer people stood aside and did nothing, the guy died, which is a terrible thing in itself, but how many people didn't die because of it?
If society had more of an assault on one is an assault on all then maybe criminals would fear attacking people on the streets.

He could have been on a empty street. Instead you assumed...and the first three letters of that word is what you make of yourself when you do.

1 you assume traffic in the area...many thefts and robberies are committed when not a lot of people are around....thus do not walk alone down dark allys.
2 you assume "chase" means high speed. If it is heavy traffic like you assume then it is very hard to go high speed. a motorcycle wreck at 35 into a wall can kill if you hit right.
3 those that surrender their security to others deserve no security.
I really like that quote but in this case he should have called the cops and let professionals handle it. Like some others said it's not like it was a life or death moment where he rushed into a burning building to save some kid that would burn to death before the proper authorities got there.
Tha quote should be followed up with "Evil triumphs when good people act stupidly".

as I said...even slow speeds on a motorcycle can kill if you hit just right, not wearing a helmet, hit a solid object. You can die on a bicycle falling off it and hitting your head.

I disagree. It is up the individual to decide the worth and accept the costs of the risk. Be they punishments if others get hurt or injuries to themselves.
That goes back to my point you say you are not making...

Fireman runs into a fire to look for people and dies. I guess to you he died by running into a fire instead of died trying to save others....there is a difference.

Where the heck do you base all those assumption on, and even put them as something factual and automatic to make such claims?
