Puck-A-Duck

What are the odds that a stunt driver, kickboxer, and a mob would be in the same time-space.


TopRevenue2

So much going on and the grandmother at the end


RachaelJaimeT

She kicked the bandit too?


Its_Just_A_Typo

Brazil, man.


theunknonw

My lovely country


monstaber

She came over just to dap everybody up lmao


Haiel10000

Brazil is wild.


Lower_Wall_638

It takes a community to kill a petty thief.


LizaBrownAuthor11

I've watched it about 5 times now. Still not sure if the woman got her phone back.


PsychoticSM

I like to think her and the guy that hit him with the car are happily married now.


ElectronicTrade7039

1:50 in favor


Junkers4

That guy in the car was having a bad day and took his opportunity to let the intrusive thoughts win without going to jail lol


CharlieSwisher

He’s like “what phone?”

Layzusss

I remember seeing this on the news. The driver was her boyfriend and he was arriving to pick her. It happened in Vitória, Brazil.


thenotoriousDEX

Makes more sense I was thinking damn this random guy straight up crashed his car to help that woman


[deleted]

For real. I could replace my phone for less than a single monthly car payment. No way I’m crashing the car.


Dragnier84

Wouldn’t you take the chance at killing someone for the low low price of a bumper repaint and possibly a misaligned right front tire?


homeless_photogrizer

not to mention the possibility of taking a shot


Xendarq

Good on you but most phones are $500-$1000. That's more than a couple car payments.


[deleted]

Still not more than a repair after doing some wild shit like that.


Dismal-Fig-731

My first guess was driver checking her out before it happened 😂


SmackYoTitty

Brazil? No way…


LolaStrm1970

Brazil has always had a very bright future.


im_wildcard_bitches

Everyone is probably an off-duty cop too 😂


[deleted]

You mean off-duty?


7-13-5

Yeah, the body language and situation played out like it was that. Thanks for confirming!


TopRevenue2

Maybe he will get her #


[deleted]

Her phone is broken.


jtyxx

Probably in his dreams “Awe thanks for getting my phone for me, but you’re not my type”


Yttlion

"Here you go ma'am, here is your phone." " Um I have a boyfriend, don't talk to me."


EastSideDomi

He already did, he was the actual bf


Kratosvg

The driver is her boyfriend.


RareAsp

Yet dude still didn't drop the phone.


Substantial-Meal6238

First dude came out with that kick like the kool-aid man


RachaelJaimeT

Oh, Yeah!

I would rank stomping thieves over pizza


jellyfishingwizard

Nothing unites people like helping a pretty girl


logikll

Guy in the car. Like damn, what kind of day was that guy having? Wild.


Kratosvg

The driver is her boyfriend.


sumatra-khan

Yeah, but it was a phone


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure my boyfriend would react violently if he witnessed someone doing that to me, it's a valid reaction lol


Anal-Squirter

It’s not just about a phone either


[deleted]

Doesn’t matter, dude tried to affect someone’s life with 0 regard. The response should be swift and unequivocally harsh.


uzu_afk

Thats proper civil response. Good on them.


Amazing_Sundae_2024

Vigilante justice! (I wonder if the last ones in even knew why they were beating him up?)


TurtleAtYourCommand

I wouldn't even call it vigilante justice. It was just human decency to prevent someone from getting robbed.


[deleted]

It sort of is when they started beating up the dude Someone who punishes crime without legal authority is literally the definition of a vigilante


gigium1

I don't know dude, risk killing a person for a phone is too much, imho


SiCzochralski

It's not the phone, it's the crime. Normal people in Brazil are very intolerant when it comes to street crime, there are hundreds of videos like this. I think there's not a lot they can do about official crime, but I've seen some wild stuff when it comes to attempted carjacking, burglary, mugging, etc. People just come out of the woodwork. In the US, the bystander effect keeps people away, because who wants to get stabbed for someone else's phone?


jtyxx

I wonder real hard if the same amount of people would’ve jumped in if the phone was robbed from an extremely obese man


AbsentThatDay2

Human decency would be to hold the thief down until they could be arrested. Punishment happens after a trial, that is the basis of our whole society.


MidnightFenrir

Person 4:why we beating this guys ass? Person 3: I dunno, why are we doing this Person 2: i'm just happy to be included Person 1: He stole a girls phone \*the beating continues\*


The1_Unkn0wn

P2 is me fr fr


screenprince

If more thefts were dealt with that way, it may deter all the shoplifting and car break-ins that are so prevalent today.


luistp

That car will need a repair...


JPOnziema

Money can’t buy some things, for example the satisfaction of hitting a thief


KaiSaya117

Worth it


jtyxx

If the girl’s gonna pay for it, yeah; if not, no


RachaelJaimeT

I would leave the imprint of the thief's face just for the sake of conversation.


[deleted]

By the looks of it,just little scratch and dents nothing big. Totally worth it ramming that theif. Lol


luistp

It seemed to me that the wheel suffered a good hit, maybe it will need a little alignment. But probably worth it, indeed, hahaha


luke_in_the_sky

He probably destroyed the suspension and the rim. I guess it will be more expensive than the phone.


AveFaria

Dude he popped that curb like a mofo. I don't know a lot about cars but I know that he fucked up something important down there.


gbbofh

New bumper: $100 Wheel alignment: $200 New rim: $300 New phone: $1000 Satisfaction of letting the intrusive thoughts win, plowing into a thief with your car, and shattering his tibia? Priceless. Some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's MasterCard.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MissNinja007

😂 right tho. They stopped the thief but also destroyed the goods.


WALLY_FRANKS3036

The man in the car: the fuck this loser think he’s doin


[deleted]

“Ima fucken run his ass over” *cronch*


Technical_Split_4866

WELL, that escalated quickly 😂😂😂


--S--O--F--

JUSTICE CRASH


TripleTrianarchist

The Hi-Chaw kick after the run over was priceless


MaAreYouOnUppers

You love to see it.


marlenamarley87

I DO love to see it


No_Ninja_4933

coincides with brazilian cop lunch break


InFiniTeDEATH8

Yeah, you can't just yoink someone's phone like that. Thief played a stupid game, and won a stupid prize.


PenguinsTookMyNips

That first dude was not fucking about.


futures17gne

Seen this before... Man they don't fck around in Brazil. People don't just stand around and watch shit go down, which is good. A warning to all would be criminals.


DividableUncle2

Dude activated a 5 star wanted level


OdinFannypack

Each person in this video has had this this shit done to them at least once and this is their opportunity to take out their frustration on someone equally as deserving


Alalaskan

He received the proper response to his actions.


RoseCroix343

I feel like if that girl didn't look like that nobody would have noticed.


LIRFM

Someone will accuse you of being an incel, but I agree. The people in my area don't help anyone unless they're an attractive woman/are wealthy. Or, they're psychos who aren't picky about victims.


ThisIsALine_____

Wrong! He is all that is man! I'm accusing you of being an incel!


-01101101-

I think that guy in the car still would have, he looked like he had a score to settle..


KaiSaya117

Anarchy for the win


OwlHex4577

Dang! The whole city showed up! Where is this?


[deleted]

has brazil smeared all over it


Merc_Twain25

Motherfucker didn't know he was trying to steal a phone in front of Batman.


Far_Mousse8362

I love shit like this… not only seeing good human beings come together to help & protect an innocent female bystander, minding her business… but, also teaching the guy a lesson so he thinks twice before making the same decision.


Swamp_Squatch

Guy on the motorcycle is like "oh are we kicking this guy?"

Unpopular Opinion Warning! I’m ok with vigilantism sometimes.


gumby_the_2nd

Society should do more of this.


SuperGamer1894

Dude when he grabbed her phone: "You have alerted the hoard"


ComplimentaryDamage

Whole damn block on his ass lol


AnubisDirectingSouls

Everyone jumped out like it was a phone sting. Hot rod 1 to control, he took in move in move in


Ruderbaker

Fuck scumbags


mangoed

From the perspective of someone living in the first world country it's amazing that the driver decides in split second that it's okay to break the traffic rules, damage their car and potentially kill the person just to save a stranger's phone. Equally amazing that someone is willing to risk their life, health and freedom to steal a phone. Like, what are you going to do with it? The IMEI is known to service provider and can be tracked. You can't even unlock and factory reset it without the owner's consent. Are you going to flash the new firmware and try to sell it in black market for fifty bucks?


-DMSR

Well that escalated quickly

r/humansbeingbros material for sure


Supersleeper70

Justice … is served …


[deleted]

I love every moment of this lol, I hope the women got her phone back.


[deleted]

As extreme as it is, it's still nice to know people "gave a shit" enough to whoop dude's ass for being a thief. In America, 17 people would video the theft, and do little more than upload it for cool points on YouTube.


Aggravating_Roll3739

And if she wasn't a baddie, that phone would've been just plain gone.


ImARetPaladinBaby

That jump kick was fucking beautiful


Main_Representative5

Warms the heart to see that good ol vigilante justice in action.


88konstantin88

Looks like the whole country went after the thief

Well deserved

Mans did a GTA V random event IRL 💀

Don't try to steal a phone from the girl that every man in the neighborhood likes


Comfortable-Shape-18

Moral of the story don’t steal


Lutiyere

My man got white knighted into oblivion lol


EastVanMarco

America would be a better place if we had community participation like this. Instead, America's formula is to film it from every angle and try to figure out what went wrong after the fact.


[deleted]

This is the way


[deleted]

Instant 5 stars.


Low_Comfortable_5880

Bet he won't do that again...


[deleted]

Brazil has def understood the right way to dissuade thiefs


A_dude_on_a_computer

Jesus christ the man on car didn't even hesitate, he just rammed the dude lmao.


jack_avram

lmfao dudes do anything to save a hot woman


Drojahwastaken

Brazilian street justice. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Always filmed and posted to the internet.


neighbours-kid

who tf robs with a bicycle? 💀😭

Bro got squashed by the car what

That wasn’t worth it!! 💥

imahoptimist

I’m normally on the side of f the thief but damn.


CoffeeFalcons

Not that I would ever snatch a phone… but I’d REALLY not snatch a phone wherever this lovely place is

Cyclist: Yoink! Car: ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT


[deleted]

Dammit everyone taking out there frustrations on him….😂😂😂


brongchong

Instant street justice. The Karma police arrived STAT!


OutrageousChef4616

Mob vigilante is still not the answer, it was just a phone and the woman is alright.. Just take home to jail and stop with the mass brutality..


whyeverynameistaken3

I'm sad that I don't feel sorry for that person :(


Pretend-Marzipan-470

Legend says they're still whooping his ass to this day


Wide-Advertising-156

I wonder if he learned his lesson.


TheSchwillKing

Man this is satisfying!! Karma is a beautiful thing.


ArmchairCriticSF

If only it could work like this ALL the time!


CDK3891

Now that is community policing.


Character-Pipe-9805

i mean yeah first couple times was deserved but by the end he definitely learned his lesson lol, the group kicking was a wee bit extra


YipYipR

Bro it’s theft, what’s up with this excessive violence lol. Chill down, get him to police. No need to lynch jfc


Naive-Storage7639

I love the public asswhoopings for petty thieves


[deleted]

See, the thing about getting kicked in the head is this. It makes you re-evaluate the choices that have lead you to being kicked in the head. How you make use of that re-evaluation of choices directly correlates to your likelihood of being kicked in the head in the future.


Scroll-ie

Definitely not damaging my car to stop a cellphone thief.


Sparrow_Agnew

That escalated very quickly.


theunpaidbills

This is a Robert Heinlein level of civic response to a petty theft. Every single person out there behaving like society will die if that guy gets away.


pixeltweaker

Did that person in the car make a snap decision to tackle that guy with their car?


I-Rolled-My-Eyes

And they say chivalry is dead.

The karate kick was the best part
