    What was that guy thinking? Even if he was just a friend, you don't leave your friend while they're getting attacked, let alone your GF. What a coward and douche.

    Wowww she’s definitely more of a fighter than her companion. He might as well run away instead of just watching her struggle from a distance. Useless!

    That dude with her is not a man; hopefully he got his man card taken away at Customs when they returned.

    Many of the comments are pointing out the boyfriend, but I’m impressed by how many bystanders came to dispatch the perp.

    The only time I have any patriotism is when someone tries to rob/mug an American and the American absolutely destroys the pick pocket. I love that for us.
