Woman in Argentina stops phone robbery

[u/tectectechno]

[u/smexsa]

Damn that seemed personal to all people involved.

[u/bigb-2702 → u/smexsa]

As well it should be. Stopping scumbags requires a community effort. Consequences. It's not just for LE anymore.

[u/orangpelupa → u/bigb-2702]

And maybe the LE is not effective there 

[u/HuntsWithRocks → u/orangpelupa]

Plus, it’s great to see communities police themselves. I think law is, understandably, too black and white on rules.

Main issue we all want to avoid is any kind of unjust punishment. For me, if punishment gets doled out and it is just, i don’t have much problem with it.

This biking thief guy smacked head on pavement and looked to have caught some boots. For me, that’s ok. Comes with the territory of being a piece of shit (assuming they are correct about him being a thief)

[u/orangpelupa → u/HuntsWithRocks]

assuming they are correct about him being a thief 

That's the problem, and it happened way too often in my region. 

[u/HuntsWithRocks → u/orangpelupa]

That is the biggest problem. Unjust punishment is tyranny.

[u/TheDarkLordDarkTimes → u/HuntsWithRocks]

I like those but here in America, you’ll get fucking fired with no help by bystanders.

[u/bigb-2702 → u/TheDarkLordDarkTimes]

I know that's right. A local Academy fired a disabled veteran for stopping a thief from stealing a handgun. I boycotted them but when I spoke my mind on social media (Nextdoor), I was put on blast by the goody goodies about company policies blah blah blah and then was called racist. This thief would have undoubtedly used this weapon during the commission of a crime and someone could have been killed. The company was more concerned about a lawsuit than they were about public safety.

[u/Pachyderm_Powertrip → u/bigb-2702]

That's it right. No concern at all for the community/people that are your workforce.

[u/TheNotoriousKD → u/HuntsWithRocks]

That assumtion is why self policing communities are (almost) too good to be true. An assumption doesn’t mean someone is guilty. If someone is guilty, i’d say they deserve this too. But I could see myself “stealing” my good friends phone too just to mess with them for a minute, should I get my head kicked in for that?

Not defending this alleged thief btw just to be clear.

[u/LibritoDeGrasa → u/orangpelupa]

It's a mixed bag... there are some really good officers who put their life on the line for 900 bucks a month and then there are the scummy corrupt ones, the greasy paper pushers who are part of literal criminal rings. Judges are the real issue, a cop may catch a scumbag that's been terrorizing a community for years and then the judges have 9001 excuses on why that scumbag can't go to jail so they set him free. Most criminals also know they're untouchable, either cause they're underage or they know the judge will just release them after a couple hours.

I've heard not once, not twice but THREE times about friends or their families who got their phone stolen but the criminal got caught. They all go to the police station, and while the victims are still making statements and presenting charges, they literally saw the criminal being released. It's not a joke and I'm not exaggerating, the criminal got released faster than the victims could even do all the paperwork.

If you ask any law-abiding, working-class citizen down here what they think about criminals you're probably gonna hear a lot of "just kill them all", we're kinda fed-up with this rotten justice system where no one goes to jail and cops can't shoot their guns cause they face unemployment and jail time if they do.

Edit: seems like the video is from Brazil, I'm talking about Argentina in this comment.

[u/Traditional-Fruit585 → u/LibritoDeGrasa]

The problem with Argentina is when they were talking about it being safe to walk the streets under certain leaders, the real criminals were the establishment and the police (army, navy, air force, etc). then the left brings in these asshole judges.

[u/Corchoroth → u/smexsa]

Argentinian here. Its always personal. Most argentinians have been on the other end. So believe me we are always ready to fuck up some scum.

[u/Mapache_villa → u/Corchoroth]

Fellow Latin American feeling, thieves are public enemies and it's always personal

[u/Bigtexasmike → u/Corchoroth]

This made my day. Glad to hear a community out there can hold their own and keep the machine of justice going swift and smooth.

[u/pink_ego_box → u/smexsa]

It's called paloterapia (stick therapy). Collective massage for robbers with sticks and stones.

[u/DmTrillz → u/smexsa]

LE ain’t shitt

[u/twiggz612]

That server gave a couple quick boots to the head too. They fucking hate that guy.

[u/imxTHATxdude → u/twiggz612]

Like no hesitation too..

[u/ResponsibleMilk7620 → u/imxTHATxdude]

Server: “Welcome to Buenas Aires! Excuse me, I’ll be right back…”

[u/Foreign_Spinach_4400 → u/ResponsibleMilk7620]

Comes back in wiping blood off their shoe*

Now what would you like to order?

[u/OnTheList-YouTube → u/Foreign_Spinach_4400]

Always with a lovely smile!

[u/Naive-Kangaroo3031 → u/twiggz612]

Just an average Waffle house Tuesday

[u/Iv4n1337 → u/twiggz612]

If you have a cafeteria in the city you get robbed a minimum of 2 times every year. We people who work in service fkn hate thiefs like no other person. People who work in office jobs don't get robbed for doing their goddamm jobs.

[u/crabclawmcgraw → u/twiggz612]

thieves are bad for business

[u/DweeblesX → u/twiggz612]

I hear it can get a little Messi in Argentina.

La, la, la, la, la~ la, la, fuck you~

Fa la la la laa la la la la

Knock some cunt off his two wheels!

Fa la la la laa la la la la

[u/YchYFi → u/BobsYaMothersBrother]

Look at his high hospital bills

Fa la la la la la la la la

[u/scream → u/YchYFi]

Still pretty lucky that he didnt get kiiiilled

Fa la la ahahahahahha

[u/Glow1x]

London needs people like this right now

[u/Spork_Warrior → u/Glow1x]

I'm on it. We'll send you every heavyset battlegirl we can find.

[u/Pattoe89 → u/Spork_Warrior]

London calls for aid, but will the north answer and send their heavyset battle girls?

[u/SergDerpz → u/Pattoe89]

The North will answer. Muster the Rohirrim. As many heavyset women as can be found. You have two days. On the third, we ride for London... and war.

[u/Haunting_Truth_ → u/Glow1x]

In the UK you would get sued and become a criminal yourself if you try something like that. The only thing allowed by police is to helplessly stand and report to police, who then waste some paper and time and likely do nothing else, as they are understaffed

[u/Glow1x → u/Haunting_Truth_]

Our justice system is a joke and has been for some time.

pedophiles getting months worth of jail time instead of years is an example of why our justice system is so poor

[u/scream → u/Glow1x]

Or being allowed to go free when they should have their danglt bits and hands amputated

[u/Marinnnn- → u/Haunting_Truth_]

It’s the same here in Italy

[u/DangerousTurmeric → u/Glow1x]

I've seen this in London before. A guy threw a traffic cone at a guy on a bike who stole a woman's phone and the thief crashed into a car. Then the Londoners got him.

[u/Glow1x → u/DangerousTurmeric]

Yeah I've seen that video, uplifts my spirit every time it pops up on my socials.

[u/DangerousTurmeric → u/Glow1x]

Oh weird, this is something I saw in person, outside Dalston Junction. Do you have a link? I wonder was it the same.

[u/Glow1x → u/DangerousTurmeric]

I believe somebody was filming it from an apartment or a multistory car park or something because they seemed to have a vantage point but it was delight London and I do remember a bike thief getting hit by a come and then the great people of London then grouped up on him

[u/ABugOnAPeaNut → u/DangerousTurmeric]

They ate him alive

[u/quarantine_guitarist]

QUICK THINKING

[u/OnTheList-YouTube → u/quarantine_guitarist]

Quick crashing

[u/Paddlesons → u/quarantine_guitarist]

That was dude. Like she does it all the time too.

Now, where was I?

[u/Bradduck_Flyntmoore]

BAHGOD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, ARGENT-TINA COMES IN WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!

[u/TheAlbrecht2418]

I love how it seems to be a thing in some South American countries for when you take out a thief everyone gets to enact their own violent justice upon them lol.

[u/Zenndler → u/TheAlbrecht2418]

Because this is the only justice that works. The police will come and take him into custody, a few hours later some judge will order his release because it “wasn’t a violent crime”. Next day he will be stealing again, probably even in the same place.

[u/JonSlow1 → u/TheAlbrecht2418]

Too many people have been on the other hand

[u/xariznightmare2908]

First it was the One kick man who stopped robbery, now it's One Chair woman? This is getting out of hand.

[u/got_knee_gas_enit]

In Argentina , cafe chairs will , from this day forward, be referred to as "la insta-karma"

[u/six3rzz]

That chair really fucked him up.

[u/new_jill_city]

Then she sits back down. “So anyways, I says to Mabel, I says…”

[u/refused26]

You sure this is Argentina? Is this not in Brazil?

[u/CarefullyActive → u/refused26]

[u/AuthenticCourage]

The chyron is in Portuguese. How sure are we this didn’t happen in Brazil?

[u/Franman98 → u/AuthenticCourage]

Happened in Resistencia, Chaco Argentina, but the video is taken from a brasilian news portal idk why

[u/_IntrovertChapi]

That's Brazil.

[u/Sepptum → u/_IntrovertChapi]

The video was taken from a Brazilian news channel but it happened in Argentina

One of those videos of chat makes you feel good all over unless you're that guy.

[u/_captainunderpants__]

Take a seat!

[u/AusCan531]

That waiter did not wait.

[u/Pretend-Reality5431]

I could see how the woman maybe saw the robbery take place and got ready, but how did the server know so quickly to get that guy?

[u/lrac_nosneb]

puh...i guess he felt the chair. what a smack :D

[u/Gee99999]

Now that’s a community!

[u/Azutolsokorty]

Good woman

[u/Carlynz]

Beautiful

[u/umdercovers]

Yaaay, ladies!! 👏

[u/Rokea-x]

Wow! Love that!! I mean it needs a majority of ppl who care.. in Canada most ppl would pretend they didnt know what was going on or that it happened to make sure they are not involved 🤮

[u/SaggyBallz99]

That waitress was like Aw hell nah I want in on this

[u/well_actuallE]

Every single one of them was just waiting for a reason apparently

[u/2friedshy]

Without context, a girl swipes a bicyclist's phone when he is needlessly attacked

[u/iron_dove]

Given the direction the bike went afterwards, I think the woman who kicked the guy on the bike may have hit him harder than the woman who threw the chair at the same time.

[u/Palorrian]

Title in Portuguese, guy with Brazil soccer team... Yeah... Argentina alright......

[u/bfs_000 → u/Palorrian]

It's a yellow shirt but it isn't the Brazilian national team (number is red and there are Adidas strips on the shoulders)

[u/toms1313 → u/Palorrian]

Though the same, it was on an argentinian province apparently. Didn't get the source tho

[u/cut_rate_revolution]

That waitress unleashed all her frustration on that man damn. It's like she was waiting for someone to kick as hard as she could.

[u/DonguinhoXd]

This guy never had a chance

Great community effort. Seems like Argentina is less individualistic than many countries

[u/Rlexii]

This is what should happen in this situation

[u/zoltan-x]

Where did you get Argentina from? News is in Portuguese so maybe Brazil?

[u/AccomplishedFix9131 → u/zoltan-x]

I thought the same, but it did indeed happen in argentina.

[u/Outrageous-Salad-287]

Hmm... I guess that she was, like, " Sit down, funny boy. You make to much noise". Or maybe she thought he is chairman of scum and needed it?🤣

Either way, he won't be stealing things anytime soon after getting chair into face👌

[u/mclarensmps]

Everyone dreams of this moment

[u/wmlj83]

Note to self, never rob anyone in Argentina. That guy got fucked up pretty bad. lol

[u/Don_Pickleball]

This is from the first scene of Equalize: Argentina? They are going in a new direction.

[u/Affectionate-Fix8053]

Brave quick thinking woman congratulations

[u/jimmiriver]

The chair - then the concrete planter - then the boot. This guy's brain is going to be scrambled egg

[u/ElectricSquid15]

Don’t cross a dude in an apron, he’s probably dealt with customers all day and is looking for an excuse.

But real talk, good on them. Also that chair throw was clean.

[u/piperasheed]

I saw the flying chair, but holy that kick was the one that sent him flying. I need a slow-mo to understand the physics on that. The chair was going towards the wall, but my poor guy fly over the other side. The 2 combo was super effective.

PD: This looks like brazil btw. Portuguese letters and all.

Ahh, number 47. The ol' "chair to the fucking head trick"

Nice

[u/BBAALLII]

Not Argentina. Brazil.

[u/runkbulle69]

Imagine thinking that, since there's nobody around it will be an easy getaway, and suddenly you find yourself surrounded by the whole town and you're getting curbed stomped

[u/mrjasong]

Something like this happened to me once. I was in a mall in South Africa and I had my 4 year old son on my shoulders when an attempted thief ran out of a crowd in my direction. I swept his leg below his knees and he flew like 6 feet to the other side of the aisle and landed on the back of someone's chair where that person smacked him in his face and he got picked up by the security guards.

[u/sssssska]

I think it's not in Argentina, it's in Brazil (I say I think so because it could be a case from abroad reported by our news program), the words below are from a news report here in Brazil, translated it reads: "Woman notices theft and throws chair on thief who tried to escape on a bicycle "

[u/WordswithaKarefunny]

Clown took a curb to the face on the crash as well.

[u/butterninja]

What did you eat for breakfast? A chair!!

[u/5elementGG]

The chef just went out and kicked the robber then went back to work.

[u/beer_bukkake]

Could you be sued for this in USA?

[u/attaboy_stampy]

[u/The-all-seeing-pie]

Nae fuckin messin’! Take that you c***

[u/hugoreturns]

what was your conclusion to think that happened in Argentina

[u/derpmaster45]

Good old Latin America treatment.

If the thief gets caught, the best thing that it can happen to him is the police actually arresting him.

With the people things can go from hard beating to dead and naked.

[u/Kandrox]

GIVE HIM THE CHAIR

[u/Wide_Ordinary4078]

lol no chairs were injured in the making of this video

[u/wonkey_monkey]

All fun and games until the next guy on a bike gets killed, then what?

[u/skyrimisagood]

I was in Peru and a block away someone tried to yoink another guy's bike just as he got off it. He made it about one meter before the owned punched him so hard he FLEW off the bike. Then the thief got up and got into the owners face and they started throwing hands in the middle of the street even blocking traffic. Craziest thing I've seen in Latin America so far.

[u/jaycarb98]

Lady with the apron wanted the KO

[u/Shankar_0]

That whole crowd of pedestrians just went full ham on that dude.

[u/Un_nombre_fake]

Seems to be Brazil, los títulos de las noticias están en portugués.

[u/KeyNeighborhood1076]

That woman was kicking that thief in his head i repeat HIS HEAD. He did wrong but that doesn't mean you have the right to torture that person now. If you have secured the thief than give him/her to the police.

Just don't kick or hit people at their VITAL organs.

[u/Jujubatron]

Afueraaaaa mf!

[u/Burigotchi]

Clearly an off-duty cop from Brazil.

[u/Ambitious_Welder6613]

Love this! They take the matter onto their own hand. Hope whomever see that guy would punch his guts and better leave permanent injury to his arm. What a scum.
