Street Artist Proposes on Subway Signage
A camera and a YouTube account are the new badge! This group of Brooklynites filmed the aftermath of an attempted robbery (allegedly the robber had a razor, which can be seen on the ground in the video). The scene includes a group holding a man on the street until the cops come to arrest him. Language and threats aside, no one gets violent...until another bystander comes over and kicks the would-be robber. Take a look:
The Observers note that "despite being permitted largely worldwide, and in all states but one (North Carolina) in the US, the scenario illustrates the enormous legal and safety risks that come with a citizen arrest." The cameraman is allegedly an army lieutenant, holding the fort down in his neighborhood and telling the perp: "this ain't 1980 buddy!"

Street Justice baby.
The mexican cook coming and kicking him is hilarious, anyone know what neighborhood this is?
Obviously this is a bias incident. The photographer called him a faggot several times.
All suspects are guilty until proven innocent in a court of law.
Looks like the Bronx.
I forgot to mention a special thanks to the locals for a job well done.
It's Brooklyn, not the Bronx.
#5 apparently #4 missed that line, looks like Jen has to make that font bigger.
Awesome. Of course, this sort of "citizen engagement" works a lot better when the guy is wielding a razor blade rather than a gun.
From time to time I do think the NRA / concealed carry advocates have a point. While it's hard to imagine how we get "from here to there" in an urban setting, criminals would be loathe to act in an environment where they knew the average citizen could be armed...
Nice work!
It's like watching COPS, except here everyone is wearing a shirt.
Takin back the streets. I love it.
I wish I could be like the people in this video and have the balls to do something like this.
Just like the old ladies on the subway that yell at the eight-year old kids for swearing and yelling.
#6 - What did I miss? Is this not in Brooklyn?
i don't care how vigilante they are, all that 'faggot' talk is not cool
I see that the headline read Brooklyn, but it's the Bronxlike section of Brooklyn just off of Webster Avenue.
that's cause the guy was or is a Lt. in the mil only steers and queers...... so using that language is common when you get a in a mostly male environment.
The guy uses an effing razor on someone and you're worried he's being called 'faggot'?
Guess you ain't ever lived in Brooklyn? There, faggot has little to do with being gay.
I love it when he calls him "fuckface". Haven't heard that used in years.
shut up you little fagget
ill jack you off
I love how some of you are upset over the language being used on someone who was just caught robbing another person with a razor and continues the bullshit by threatening to kill the people detaining him. Seriously? Offensive language is an issue here?
other than the guy showing up after the "alleged attack" where the proof that he tried to rob someone?
Oooh nice, I've always wanted to make a citizens arrest! Think I need a camera first though..
This is a classic, the cook, the language, the woman giving him shit even as the cops are taking him away.
#14 how is this in the "Bronxlike' section of Brooklyn?
Is this not in Brooklyn? Was this not the Brooklyn of yore? Before the Yupters and the Hipsters?
Brooklyn is a huge borough, it's logical that not all areas of Brooklyn will be a la Park Slope.
That's like saying Riverdale in The Bronx is the 'Scarsdale-like' section of The Bronx, when we clearly know that Riverdale has always been there.
I know what you're trying to say, but it does not make any sense (at least not logical).
Precisely, Riverdale is the Scarsdale-like section of the Bronx.
You got it. Logic has nothing to do with it. The Bronx is a lot safer and more community oriented than Brooklyn in the non-white areas of both boros. So this appeared to be a more Bronx like approach to the situation. Got it?
I understand, and what you say its true, these days the non-white areas of he Bronx is safer and better then the non-white areas of BK.
However Brooklyn has more "Riverdales" in its borough then The Bronx.
