Bike thieves caught in the act...

[justsomeguy]

I can certainly understand the desire to hurt a scumbag that would try to heist your property. BUT, in a previous life I had a friend, a very hard friend who ended up with the contents of his abdominal cavity lying in his driveway when the scumbag he was beating on was "rescued" by the scumbag cavalry. He survived with half a liver and shorter intestines thanks to excellent surgeons. Since hearing this story I have had the pleasure to confront thieves on two occasions, both times choosing to negotiate a property return in exchange for an unblocked escape path. Get good descriptions and let the police sort the fuckers out, unless you're willing to risk it all for the taste of vengence and a heap of metal and plastic.

I doubt if there are any material possesions worth risking serious injury over. That's what house and contents and motor vehicle insurance are for.

However if one of these wretches threatens a person then anything goes - provided a safe retreat is not possible.

Sweet farken justice!

(Dont blame them wanting to steal a LE R1........)

I love a good romance novel with a happy ending. Pity there were 5 good arms on those crooks at the end though.

Ryu as someone's name means dragon.

In the martial art context it means school or place of training.

PS: I was once a dumb, unteachable student of one of those Ryu's, I forget which.

Fairy muff, but you originally said Ryu means School in Japanese. It doesn't.

Mmmm fairy muff .......... heh, yes I stand corrected.

Without doubt, I have to agree. Growing up on a diet of Bruce Lee and Clint Eastwood always makes it tempting to have a go at the righteous violence buzz though.

It wasn't Gareth for fucks sake.

He can barely break wind let alone some poor fella's arm.

Ooops I missed that bit about it being from the Yamaha forums

[*sic]

porno.

thats a nice effort.

its a strange feeling when you snap a lim,b, its all tense then the sound.. never sounds nice but im sure he would have reveled in it.

top marks.

A+ for effort.

[ManDownUnder]

MDU - you have a heart of gold. But I think he was justified in breaking the guys arm, 5 months in a cast is a good lesson.

However, he was wrong in enjoying it so much.

He was wrong for enjoying it at all.

Faior enough subbdue him, hell get a rope and tie his hands together around a tree while waiting for the cops - no problems with that (illegal though it would be in NZ...)

But to have someone that had given up, then carry on to break his arm just because it made him look and feel good? The dude needs his head read.

If the guy wasn't submitting - keep escalating it to you win... and if that involves a broken arm then ok. If the dude is threatening someone else and best/simplest/safest course of action results in the guy getting a broken arm... ok...

... but to do it coz you want to... after smiling about the fact you are about to? That's premeditation and vindictive revenge for revenge's sake... and as I say - lock him up.

[ManDownUnder]

However if you mess with my bike and we aint on friendly terms i get fucked off pretty quick. I was on friendly terms with dover till he pissed in my exhaust, so i fired the bike up and burnt his cock.

Dover was fucking with your bike huh?

I guess the rules'd be like golf then - yelling "FORE" just before you did the deed... only this time you'd yell "SKIN" as well?

Please tell me Jerry Lee Lewis was playing in the background
"You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain..."

[Deano]

He had him surrendered but then went on deliberately broke the arm of someone stealing a bike?

They were caught red handed but then went on to deliberately assault the owner ?

The guy's a vindictive idiot and get's no respect from me.
He's as low as the thieving scumbag and deserves locking up too.

And the thief wouldn't have broken the bike owners arm given the chance ?

[Lou Girardin]

Yeah, so Finn tells me.

He's SUCH a kiss and tell type.

[ManDownUnder]

They were caught red handed but then went on to deliberately assault the owner?

... errrrrrr. no.... the guy was subdued, in an armlock of sorts. It was over - done, finito. Before this idiot broke the other guy's arm, the would be thief was (and I quote)

"SCREAMING IN PAIN. All I could think about was the pain I felt having my *hit stolen so I pull harder. He's taping my arm and i'm almost laughing that this guy is trying to tap out haha. "

So your point is?

And the thief wouldn't have broken the bike owners arm given the chance ?

The great unknown, but lets say yes he would have, just for argument's sake... wouldn't that prove my point? He's as low as the thieving scum...

If the bad guy would not have broken his arm... that arguably makes him worse...

Come on
He left 3 limbs intact,it's more than I would do.
Render the bastards vegetative

[Deano]

So your point is?

The thief was in the wrong, THEN proceeded to try to assualt the owner when confronted, yet you believe the VICTIM went too far...

The thief bit off more than he could chew and paid the price. Consequences.

Thats' my point.

(As an aside - did you feel the guy on tv being pepper sprayed while in cuffs was deserved, or did the cops go too far ?)

The great unknown, but lets say yes he would have, just for argument's sake... wouldn't that prove my point? He's as low as the thieving scum...

The thief instigated the whole thing by trying to steal the bike.

It's called rough justice and the Police do it.

Didn't they condone it in this case...
