Specialist Jonathan Sweeney saving the world
Honey Badger sends us a link which is a couple of months old, but it’s new to me. It’s about National Guard Specialist Jonathan Sweeney who was on his way to National Guard training in downtown Portland, Oregon when he heard a woman scream and saw a guy trying to steal he baby. From KATU;
“When I heard her scream, I ran,” National Guardsman Specialist Jonathan Sweeney told KATU News. “It looked like he was trying to pick up the little girl and get his hands on her.”
Sweeney held [54-year-old Robin] Rollins at an arms length after he separated Rollins from the child. That’s when Rollins threw a punch.
“When he hit me, I maintained the same posture holding him… and then a haymaker on the side of my neck,” Sweeney said.
He held Rollins until the police arrived to take him away and Sweeney took off because he was running late for drill.
“I don’t consider myself a hero I just consider myself a person going and trying to do the right thing,” he said.

Sweeney appears to be a guy who could take multiple punches … from a moose … and still be standing. Ya done good, Sir.
Rollins, you’re the scum of the earth and I imagine you’ll be VERY popular in prison when it’s learned you like little children. Trash
There seems to be an unexplained increase in the number of events in which someone tries to abduct children right in front of their parents. Three episodes of it locally this past week.
Do NOT take your eyes off your kids. Period.
Ex-PH2 … Maybe it’s spring training for the pervs and they are getting their technique refined for when they get to go into the head of their choice at Target and other ‘progressive’ establishments. I have always hovered around when Mrs. HMC or child is in the head.
Damn smart move…especially when you know that many of these establishments let men use the women’s washrooms simply because they ‘identify as women’. This is very dangerous for women and girls – Google the name ‘Paul Ray Witherspoon’ for one specific, grim example.
+1 to you for thinking of the safety of women and girls. ;o)
It’s not run-of-the-mill pervs. It’s human traffickers.
Well done, SPC Sweeney. Damn well done.
Hopefully your unit finds a way to recognize you appropriately. Such conduct should be recognized and rewarded.
Hopefully with some E5 bling…
Taking punches and saving the world, my hat is off to you Specialist. As a father, anyone that tries to steal children like that should be summarily executed IMO.
“He held Rollins until the police arrived to take him away and Sweeney took off because he was running late for drill.”
Think he was excused for being a bit late for drill? 🙂
Nicely done, take some hits maintain control of the shitbag and don’t miss drill!!
Too bad he didn’t get a bunch of hits in on the shitbag.
Or, maybe he did and the police are just not reporting it….one can hope!
Outstanding Specialist!! Should have curb stomped the bastard.
I sincerely thank my fellow member of the E-4 mafia for making the rest of us look good, and I also hope he pins on E-5 promptly.
GREAT JOB !!!!!!!
HOOOOAH !!!!!!!!
I remember when this happened, and was surprised by his restraint in detaining the sicko.
