What a gutsy guy! Odds are the driver was in shock, may not have had a cell phone or know the 911 system. Would you know what to do in a country where you couldn't speak the language?
The driver drove into the robber, hitting him and tossing him onto Bustleton
Glad to hear the system is working how it should.

Theres not enough information in that one story to determine he wasn't going to. It was somewhere after 11pm the first time, he went back after he got rid of his family, and the cops found the car around midnight. It doesn't say if the car was ditched or if they pulled him over immediately after he left.
Either way, the suspect attacked him twice, and they had the video to prove it. It was self-defense.

There are a variety of charges that could be brought against him, and I thought for sure there was going to be facing charges, but the last sentence of the article (I think that is where it is) says he's probably not going to be facing any charges. It's mind blowing.
If a guy with a weapon is trying to rob me and I somehow was able to beat him senseless and leave him laying there on the ground, do I have to report this incident to the police if I didn't want to?

Why? You're being burdened with the silly and often costly due process of the American system. I am glad this guy got his money back, and too bad that the thug is in the hostital on the general publics dime. it would have been more cost effective if the guy drove into the thug harder.
It's scary to me using a drive-uo ATM after dark; does anybody else feel so utterly vunerable or am I the only one?
I leave the car on, in drive, seatbelt off, windows locked, doors locked, my door open to block off 1 gap & I pull up as close to the ATM as possible.
Once your catd is in & your PIN entered your screwed until the transaction is over. I pulled up to one the other night WITH my husband in the car & realized with some relief that I was not as vunerable as I usually am by myself with children in the car.
I said as much & he rolled his eyes at me like I was nuts ...

The driver broke the law...hit and run, and attempted murder and or aggravated assault. If he ran the guy over during or immediately afterwards that's one think, but some time had passed. This is basically promoting vigilantism. If the police don't care about vigilantism, we don't need police. Everybody should just form a posse. He could have called 911 between fleeing and spotting the suspect. The thug's medical bills are going to be more than prosecuting the victim turned vigilante if we want to make it about cost.
I certainly would want to do that myself but not if I had my wife and kids in the car. Not really worth revenge at the risk of my family's lives considering the guy had a gun
