While beating someone up might be fun, it doesn’t reflect well on the human species. how can we expect to be a peaceful society when all it takes is an attempted bike theft to make us violent? to this i have to disagree. for one are you are comparing the use of violence towards a thief with the actions of many others within history? or the disgraceful actions of the current American government. If you want to talk about the human species, you cannot even attempt to understand the in working's of a human mind.. one thing we do know is once we as human's learn something, the subconscious will therefor continue the practice, it will then take a large conscious event for you to unlearn it. this guy likes to steal bikes. Maybe this is what he needed to realize that it is unacceptable as a human being to take someones property and livelihood away. i say well done…..

However, people in NYC are constantly ripped off. You can't have anything nice, cause someone will either vandalize it or steal it. Guy gets a sweet new bike, and some jerk tries to steals it. I understand the anger, but it's still disturbing to see. It’s sad to see anyone get punched, especially a guy begging not to be. However, people in NYC are constantly ripped off.

One, the police are not enough. Two, violence is not the answer. While beating someone up might be fun, it doesn't reflect well on the human species. how can we expect to be a peaceful society when all it takes is an attempted bike theft to make us violent? I think there must be a more creative solution for dealing with things like this. i think there are two very good points raised here. One, the police are not enough. Two, violence is not the answer.

Absolutely. Whether he should have gotten more of a beating or not, who knows? Can we say it was his first time or his hundredth time? Serving someone justice for their offense doesn't require speculation beyond what happened at that scene. A more extreme punishment would be in order IF the guy managed to break the lock. But if someone thinks that its right to break his hands for merely attempting to steal a bike, I'd say that would be too harsh a punishment. In the video, we don't get to see how far he got with the lock so there's no point in wondering if the guy is a veteran in thievery or not. There's a reason why the justice system follows the principle, "innocent until proven guilty." And as for calling the cops, I agree with the majority opinion here. Humans are totally capable of sorting their problems out. It should only be when you can't sort our problems that you call the police. With this particular incident, things got sorted. He got what he deserved. Absolutely.

"Yeah." "Lemme give you a hand with that. I know how to get those opened in like 2 seconds" and take the drill. BAM!! BOOM!! CRASH!! Damn! I slipped and accidentally hit you in the head a bunch of times with an 18V battery attached to this drill! Let me call the police and an ambulance for you. Don't move: You don't want to get injured any more. If he walked away, it wasn't a proper beat-down. You CAN give him a proper beat-down AND have him arrested. I wonder how many stolen bikes were back at his apartment? I wonder how many bikes he's stolen since then? Practice for next time:
“Oh man, you lost your keys?”
“Yeah.”
“Lemme give you a hand with that. I know how to get those opened in like 2 seconds” and take the drill.
BAM!! BOOM!! CRASH!!

If I was there, that guy would have left with a serious limp, or in an ambulance. And I'd make damn sure he'd have a hard time operating a drill anytime soon. Ya know how it goes, "Well officer, we tried to place him under a citizen's arrest until you got here, but he went crazy and tried to assault us. Then we did what we had to do defend ourselves." What NYC cop is gonna question that? They know the deal! I’m generally opposed to violence but I’m willing to be reasonable.
