This is just a shitty attempt at some attention for this coffee jerk and his cafe. A big waste of everyone's time, and he should be ashamed of himself for acting like a media whore. It is true that this guy Braunstein is a monster, but let's be honest -- if his victim wasn't a young, attractive, white woman, living in a trendy neighborhood, this would have disappeared from the headlines after a couple of days. A black or hispanic victim, in a poor area, even if it was a random act, and you definitely wouldn't see the whole city playing Where's Waldo. There are a lot more dangerous creeps out there than this guy, but since few of those victims and stories aren't as media-delicious, no one wants to bother.

They mentioned on the news that they thought the pervert was in another state when the coffee guy alerted the police.

I've publicly humiliated people in the past for much less. When people bother me, I audibly yell at people on the train and on the street all the time. Onlookers always turned around and notice. I would not have tackled the guy, but I would have DEFINITELY yelled out and said "ATTENTION EVERYONE, THIS IS THE WANTED RAPIST!" Ten guys from the woodwork would jump out and tackled him. Maybe not in the coffee shop, but they'd get him when the rapist was running out on the street. Just because you're an introvert doesn't mean everyone else is. I hope you're right-handed.

so, now it's a coffee shop owner's job to confront a dangerous criminal? what are you, high? he did the right thing, he called the cops. i'd bet my left arm neither of the above posters would have done anything else.

wtf

I hope John Arena feels pround that he let a rapist escape, just because he didn't have the balls to confront him.

I used to avoid this coffee shop because of its horrendous name... latching on to a stupid real estate term that sounds like baby talk for taking a dump.... Now I will avoid it because they let the damn pig go!!! Thanks a lot, jerkoff! Smile for your pretty press photos, but don't count on my business!
