2. She is very brave.

And most deserving of the $50,000 reward.

[flashman13]

38. She had better get every dime of it. As you say, she deserves it.

[highplainsdem]

3. Brava, Wendy, and thank you!

[MagickMuffin]

4. See something, Say something, worked this time

This slogan is a slippery slope and I have reservations about it because it can be abused.

But in this case it got a highly dangerous pseudo christian lunatic off the streets while saving lives.

You’re a hero Wendy Thomas. I believe there’s a cape waiting for you.

[Irish_Dem]

5. He might have killed anyone who spotted him.

[Jilly_in_VA]

6. Give her a medal

and the reward, which I believe was $50K.

[hlthe2b]

7. Good on her! Stay safe, though, Wendy!

and thank you for your observational abilities!

8. Can't see anything at link.

[nolabear]

10. Wonder why. Others can.

[summer_in_TX]

26. This may work better for you.

Try this, straight from NBC News.com instead of their Thread post.

[Kingofalldems]

27. Yes thanks.

Odd how the other one doesn't work.

Good job by the lady.

[summer_in_TX]

29. Yeah, not sure why it didn't work.

I've never had a Threads account, although I do have Facebook and Instagram, all Meta products.

[FirstLight]

45. I don't use threads so I appreciate a different link

I'm so sick of these new apps lol I feel like every time I turn around I've got to learn a new program!

[summer_in_TX]

46. Ain't that the truth!

Glad to help.

[WarGamer]

39. Did you hit the button?

[WarGamer]

40. Someone else had issues with the link... not me

[h2ebits]

36. I could see it on my iPhone but now that I am using my computer Threads won't open it for me.

[LoisB]

9. Good on her. I have not seen all of the press on this case, but all that I saw credit was

given to law enforcement. I certainly hope she gets the reward and a citizenship medal.

[nolabear]

12. I'm surprised I haven't seen her on the press.

But I’m on grandson duty so don’t have much control over media—

[LoisB]

16. LOL.

[SheltieLover]

11. Brava, Wendy! Ty!

[Mysterian]

13. You're a real hero, Wendy

You likely saved lives.

[sheshe2]

14. Sharp eyes. Smart woman.

Thank you Wendy, you may have well saved someone’s life.

[AllaN01Bear]

15. ""

[Ilsa]

17. Bless her for staying alert. Way to go, Wendy!

[MustLoveBeagles]

18. She's a real life hero

Fully deserving of the $50,000 reward. I just hope a right wing nut doesn't go after her

[some_of_us_are_sane]

19. She's a NATIONAL TREASURE!

[twodogsbarking]

20. I saw a felon at a parade but didn't report it. Go Wendy. Thanks.

[liberalla]

21. Excellent! Thank you Wendy Thomas!

[Cha]

22. The Assassin Terrorist was Cornered and

and Captured like a Rabid Rat!

TY & Wendy Thomas!

[calimary]

23. Thank you Wendy Thomas. You probably saved a life or two (or MORE)!

Buffs a whole new luster onto the saying “if you see something, say something”!

[sop]

24. Boelter literally headed for the tall grass.

[Norrrm]

25. Be careful. MAGAs will be sending them death threats.

She did the right thing.

[ret5hd]

28. death threats for turning in a left wing radical...

that did a false flag op to damage the great dictator???

surely not!

[Attilatheblond]

33. LOL yep, they would have to eat their own propaganda

[Upthevibe]

30. nolabear.........

Thanks for posting!

[greatlaurel]

32. Wendy is a very brave and observant person.

She is a hero and she saved lives.

[Jean Genie]

34. Well done, Wendy

Thank you, Wendy! You are a true hero! And people in Minnesota will sleep more soundly tonight thanks to your bravery!

[kwolf68]

37. She likely has saved lives

Well done.

[Fla Dem]

41. WTG Wendy. You are a life saver for sure!

[milestogo]

42. She must have known he lived nearby.

If I were her I would have been scared to go out walking at all.

[colorado_ufo]

43. Hero!!!

[cab67]

44. Not sure she should have been identified in public.

This woman deserves every bit of praise we can provide.

Nevertheless - by publishing her photo and name, the news media may have put her in danger. Anyone looking to avenge Boelter might want to come after her.

(Side point - by hiding in the grass, Boelter probably came out covered in ticks. I don't mind that at all.)
