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. (Oh f*** why did my phone voice to text decide to capitalize swift. I’m not talking about a blonde pop star for God’s sake. And why didn’t it capitalize it the second time?)
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.

That guy’s a violent asshole who should go to jail too. We have courts for a reason.
I read another story where some lady accused a guy of kidnapping his own son. Bystanders grabbed him (which makes sense), but then another asshole broke his ribs, kicking him like this.

Fairness and justice is for the courts.
In the streets? Lol get fucked. Don’t be an asshole unless you want to be treated like one.

Mob justice is how “that evil witch walked across my fields and now my harvest is rotten” turns into lynching innocents. If I can grab someone and accuse them of something and other people jump in on good faith that I’m being truthful, there’s a risk that they’ll end up beating up an innocent if I wasn’t.
What they should do at best is hold the other down for professional truth-finders to come sort out whether the accused actually is an asshole or whether I’m the asshole trying to frame them.

In principle I agree with you but this really requires faith in the justice system to always work. In this case for sure it’s correct, but I wouldn’t be comfortable taking it as a universal rule in our current actual society.
