I don't know if it directly inspired them, but it may have been a coincidence. But in the following week, there were another 5 incidents in which citizens, if you will, turn the tables on assailants.

In fact, these all six incidents left four people dead, four alleged criminals dead and two others wounded in the hospital.

Immigration for the most part, and a lot of people coming in from Cuba, Cuban refugees, a lot of Haitian refugees and from all over Latin America.
