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.
I like how one of them kicks the bastard while he’s downé
As one should. FAFO
~D o w n é~
🤣🤣🤣🤣 what the fuck did my autocorrect do???
I’m leaving it like this. Fuck it. LoL
The Canadian French keyboard layout has é where / and ? would be on an ANSI keyboard. It’s actually a very common typo for English speakers using that keyboard layout (more commonly capitalized like downÉ since ? requires Shift). What’s your setup? Maybe you accidentally switched keyboard layout?
Edit: hehe you’re on Lemmy.ca
Yeah, the period ‘.’ is right next to ‘é’ on the Canadian French keyboard. I must’ve hit that key instead of the period.
V’là!

Always beware of 2 people on a motorcycle
Agreed, but she woulda needed a mirror to see them coming, and been looking.
She knew what was happening the moment she did see them though and did an amazing job latching on.
Pfft I’m wary of one person in a motorcycle and I don’t even live in Argentina anymore. Scarred for life.
Personally, I’m just wary of one or more people.
Me too, I only feel safe when a motorcycle comes with no one driving it.
Yes, people!
What a bunch of Bastards!
Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.
I’m from Colombia (all Latam countries share a lot of culture and daily life style) and images like this are somewhat common. Here this thieve would be set free in 48 hours at max, so people take justice all by themselves, as the judicial system won’t do shit.
This is jokingly called “paloterapia”, or “kick therapy”.
Same in Brazil
“whatever happened to catching a good old fashioned passionate ass whoopin and getting your shoes coat and your hat tooken?”
It’s not often violence warms my heart. Seeing people pull over so they could kick this piece of shit makes me feel like people aren’t all that bad.
Ahh I never got that line until now, thought he said passin-it which didn’t make any sense
Love the detail of how the driver of one of the car that stops, comes over and after seemingly hearing what’s going on starts kicking the thief.
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.
Tell me the world doesn’t need vigilantes, do it.
One day maybe, but right now we just need real consequences for these types of crimes. It was premeditated, not accidental by any means. Just drains of society preying on perceivably weaker people.
Vigilantism is a common response to the failure of the justice system. When people feel like the justice system will serve them, and policing will protect them, they’re more inclined to let justice be served.
Thought she was about to put him into a kneebar or bust out some other Jiu Jitsu for a second there.
Fuck yes! What a POS
On tiktok, people blames the victim for not paying attention
TikTok is a cesspool. Even the dumbest person on earth can figure out TikTok, and it seems like they’ve all done it
As is tradition.
this is what actual anarchy looks like
Everyday people coming to the aide of a fellow human who is fighting to stop herself being victimized is anarchy? Yeah, pretty much. Doesn’t seem like a bad thing, though. If we all took that level of responsibility, you wouldn’t need much of a governmental force.
I think everything you just said with many words, is what he said with few words. You’re both in agreement.
Possibly.
not possibly, entirely
Good. I couldn’t be sure. ‘This is actual anarchy’ is just as readable as ‘this is the degeneracy of our modern culture’ as it is as ‘this is people acting responsibly without need of hierarchy.’
i suppose it’s an understandable knee jerk reaction to assume that.
….
i wrote it because when i see riots there’s usually “it was anarchy on the streets!” somewhere….
but in this case there was a large number of people who saw someone needing help and decided to help, which is actually anarchy on the streets…They’re both technically anarchic, (no hierarchy among rioters either) but things like this demonstrate the lack of hierarchy is clearly not the problem in either situation.

I wish they weren’t corrupt, rapists, murderers, and recently, kidnappers.
Recently?
Abolish police. Form well-regulated militias instead. Most of the “police” don’t even live in the neighborhoods they enforce the laws in.
Can you give me one example where this has EVER worked, on a scale larger than a couple thousand people.
not gonna happen
Anarchy is nice
Nah, anarchy probably wouldn’t have cops to come pick him up at the end. They’d just beat him some more until they felt justified enough cause what else ya gonna do?
Anarchy would shun them from social systems until they made appropriate reperations. They might be jailed, they might be exiled, they might just be cut off from all but basic food/services/etc.
There are law enforcement answers in anarchist societies that aren’t “have cops.”
Please elaborate on how you would deal with professional violent criminals in an anarchist manner.
Sure. You try to head off the behavior before it gets there by ensuring basic needs are met for all and through social tools like shunning and group dynamics.
Your scenario springs up whole clothe without the above, so I would offer the following for it : Jail, exile, death. The order depends on the people involved in the society they created.
Being an anarchist doesn’t mean you lack the current tools we use, it means you dont have to use them, or at least you dont have to reach for them first.
You didn’t answer who exactly would jail a guy with a gun who’s willing to use it and knows how to do it.
Id be glad to. Just tell me the name of everyone in the society, their general roles in different social situations, their agreed on laws and rules, and their specific stance on violence and how they want to respond to it.
Once you do, I can answer your very specific questions about a hypothetical community that doesnt currently exist and hasent been defined by any of the people in it.
So you don’t have law enforcement answers in anarchist societies that aren’t ‘have cops’. Dunno why you had to lie about it.
stomp that mf out til he has a fucking epiphany
Now trending on Kickstarter: That guy
Crowdsourced violence™️
My wife got pickpocketed in Rome on the train. Possibly a woman who didn’t get on the train behind her. We traced the phone to an atm where it was shut off, but not there. They bought something for 1k at the train station and were probably trying the atm next. She had no phone and kept using mine since I put her account temporarily on my phone. To top it all off Verizon couldn’t activate an esim so I had to wait and go into a store to get a physical Sim where the person working didn’t know I can order a Sim for free online and pick it up. I usually get used phones and it was a pixel 7 pro.
Explain “They bought something for 1k at the train station” for me, please. The rest of your post makes little sense to me either, but I feel like you should elaborate on that sentence if you can.
Oh, my brain was thinking and typing it out didn’t happen. My wife’s bank card and driver’s license was in the back of the phone. We had to cancel the card. They couldn’t get into the phone, that’s why they went to the atm after or maybe a coincidence the last location report on the phone was at the atm. We were doing tourist stuff trying to figure out to pay for the train and they saw. They even warn you about pick pockets on the train in Rome.
Thank you, I didn’t want to come across as rude.
My tap to pay has a $100 limit, any more requires card and PIN. I think I can remove this limit, but I’d rather not.
She should’ve taken out a piece of his calf with a bite to teach him a lesson
Compare - if you will - the effort and danger of the women herself, hanging onto the offender on a moving motorbike, falling multiple times, being dragged underneath his feet, not letting go, to the big man in the white t-shirt arriving late and kicking the offender as he’s pinned down.
