This is the moment a quick-thinking female Russian tourist took down a phone-snatcher in Argentina. Video posted by journalist Gonzalo Benitez shows the incident on November 9 when two thieves snuck up on the 33-year-old woman while she was on a bike waiting at a junction in the capital Buenos Aires. As they grab her device, she manages to wrestle one of them off the bike and hold him until Good Samaritans rush to her aid and help restrain him until the police arrive. Officers were also able to trace the offender who fled on the bike and discovered 10 cell phones at the property where he was arrested.

So much better than the judicial system which would have taken years to decide who was right and who was wrong.

Let judgment be swift and decisive.

And use corporal punishment executed arbitrarily by everyone, because that's what civilised people do and which has proven in various studies to be the most effective way of treating criminals. /s

No, that's what logical primal people do, who have no use for wasting time & resources, & no bullshitting. As a bonus, it's a natural brutal logical method of population control. The basic concept of survival of the fittest is long overdue for return.

How to hate humans.

If you have the gargantuan amount of proof here, it wouldn't take that long. And something tells me these thieves wouldn't have the litigational strength to hold up the process.
