Purse Snatchers on a Motorcycle Beaten by Angry Crowd
Wenzhou, China, May 19 2010
"Bold gangsters" riding a motorcycle snatched a pedestrian’s purse. When surrounded by Wenzhou’s city residents, the diabolical gangster brandished a 50 centimeter long blade, but no one flinched, throwing at them cardboard boxes, stools, and other “weapons” rushing forth.
In the midst of the struggle, there were several who were especially courageous, More..distinguished by chinese netizens hailing them “Broom Man”, “Stool Man”, and “Cardboard Box Man”.
I only answer to my username, my real name is Irrelevant!

1 thing about chinese is they always take things too far; be they the criminals or the vigilantes... the criminals will hack you up for 5yuan and the vigilantes will hack you up over a stolen chicken
Makes me wonder sometimes, if the Chinese gov't are more fair to people, there might not be a need for gangs and shit. But of course, any "perfect" society always have to have rotten apples to ruin it.

The same "stupid country" is giving you all the freedoms and rights you're currently enjoying without thinking twice, by the way.
it can also give me all the same freedoms and rights while at the same time giving me the right to protect my stuff without me basically letting the robber just walk in and leave with all my crap while i have to stand around waiting for the cops to show up 5 min after the guy leaves...as long as you don't kill the guy or injure the person seriously enough to send them to the hospital ..it should be fair game that you can't deny

I'm not denying what should or shouldn't be fair game. I'm saying that there are a million places that are a lot worse than our "stupid country" and that you should be grateful with what you have.
