Editor:

Let's all pause for just one moment today to thank the Santa Monica residents who saw something and said something, and the Santa Monica police officers who checked it out and arrested a sick young man from Indiana who could have harmed many.

Nice work all, and a great example for the rest of the nation.

Thank you.
