Buy: Citizens’ Arrests

So, if I have the story correct, I think the guy on the ground attempted to rob one of the baggy t-shirt dudes in this video with a tiny little razor as his weapon.  In the middle of the day.  In Brooklyn.

Everyone around was all “NO FUCK THAT” and ran to intervene.  They surrounded the criminal-to-be and issued a crowdsourced beatdown/citizens’ arrest on the guy until the police got there.  Wicked!

One man caught it on tape.  My favorite quote of his:  “This 2008, buddy, this ain’t 1980,” which I think is so true.  This is 2k8.  People are SO over being robbed at razorpoint.

Other points of interest in the video:
-Suspect trying to defend himself by saying people should mind their own business
-Mexican Chef walking over and kicking the suspect square in the ass
-Guy behind the video camera calling the suspect a fag repeatedly (lol what?)

Aside from that last part, this video is a total buy

  2. No. In Fort Greene crowds rob people, not prevent people from robbing.

    Oh? My favorite quote is “you go rob somewhere else”.

    As a side note, I would neither “step to” nor “look to” that guy.
