Jun 2 2010Note To Self: Do Not Snatch Purses In China, You Can And Will Be Beaten With Furniture
Note: Video is after the jump because stealing is illegal.
This is a video of two jackasses on a motorcycle that drive by and snatch a woman's purse, then get chased, then crash headfirst into a parked van, then get beaten to near death with a bunch of furniture. I'm serious, that's somebody's dresser being thrown in the screencap there, but there's also some hot office AND folding chair action in the video if you have a seating fetish. Me? I'm an ottoman guy.
Hit it for a video of the vigilante justice holy shit I think you killed them.
Purse Snatcher Gets What For [collegehumor]
Thanks to josh and Julie, whose names both begin with the same letter. Just don't ask me which one (it's L, isn't it?!).

Maybe he should have brought a gun and not a sword? Anyways I'm glad that nobody got hurt (except for the thief) and I wonder if she ever got her purse back?

I love the way that everyone gets in the act. You wouldnt see that in the UK! Beat a mugger over the head with a chair and office furniture in the UK and YOUR the one who gets put in jail!

It warms to heart to see people coming together for a good old fashion neighborhood beating.

THAT WAS AWESOME! Nice use of Dresser Kwon Do and Chair Fu.
You steal purse? Dresser to the face! KEEEYAAAA!!!!
23. TCB - June 2, 2010 3:09 PM
With citizens like that, they could really cut down on police spending. I mean, who needs the police when people can solve their own 'problems'?
24. TCB - June 2, 2010 3:13 PM
honestly, can anyone count how many people there were? people just came outta nowhere. well, that's China, but still......within 30 seconds there went from 4 people on the screen to 400......
25. Yoog - June 2, 2010 3:17 PM
0:32 is the best. You see nothing but people (and seriously how many people heard her scream?) for like 27 seconds then the motorcycle comes out of nowhere and hits a PARKED truck. That's probably what got him beat.
26. Bruce Wayne - June 2, 2010 3:19 PM
criminals deserve to die.
27. Daniel - June 2, 2010 3:32 PM
Tis like the Chinese version of that State of Emergency game. I'm pretty sure people were still on their way from across the country.

Ninjas are from Japan.

Seems like there are quite a few videos of group vigilantism coming out of China. Anyone remember that vid a couple months ago where those guys beat the murderers to death in the middle of the street? Hard to have too much sympathy for the criminals, apparently they had murdered one of the guys wives or something, but it was still pretty crazy to watch. I would imagine crime would be less attractive an option if there is a strong potential a crowd of onlookers will beat your ass to a pulp.
32. wootgoestheewok - June 2, 2010 3:39 PM
Damnit, now I know why the furniture I ordered from China was all beat to hell. Last time I go with stuff made by child-labor in a sweat shop. Aw, who am I kidding, their tiny hands get the stitches so close together!
33. c45j - June 2, 2010 3:47 PM
why did the guy in the bike come back?
34. Lunarion - June 2, 2010 4:08 PM
It looked kind of like the wild west films scene where there is a bar figth and everyone is breaking chairs on each others back.

That was freaking awesome!! I think I saw the lady who got her purse snatched come back and try to box with one of the crooks LOL!!
42. ubflamed - June 2, 2010 8:09 PM
That was a wok full of whoopass. Proves the desk are mighter than the sword, too.
43. some guy - June 2, 2010 8:27 PM
that was awesome and kinda scary. All those people... swarming... *shudder*
I hold that this is evidence that police in china don't do anything. Those people organized pretty quickly, like they were used to this.
44. Gir - June 2, 2010 11:10 PM
It was like he made a wrong turn in a street where all the Chinese were WWE enthusiasts.
45. Danger Will Robinson - June 3, 2010 12:23 AM
I guess the stereotypes are true, Asians really can't drive. Haiyo!

good thing they won't be able to identify any of the people with furniture
48. pj - June 3, 2010 2:43 AM
A little extreme, but it's kind of inspiring that all those people came out and helped the lady. I don't think you'd see that here in US. Most people would probably just ignore the lady's cries for help.
49. L - June 3, 2010 4:19 AM
That's L alright, getting hit with a mother fucking chair (s)! Good thing the shit is made in China, didn't feel a thing and still got away with 50 yuan which granted isn't much.

If that happened in America the glorified meter maids AKA cops wouldn't sleep until everyone was ticketed for disorderly conduct.
56. PurpleJedi - June 4, 2010 9:50 AM
How AWESOME was that???
Maybe now that IKEA opened up in Brooklyn, the abundance of cheap furniture will inspire people there to rise up against criminals with chair-in-hand!
57. witchyone8180 - June 4, 2010 9:52 AM
That's awesome! I love it when a neighborhood pulls together to help someone in need. It's just.. ::tears:: so... ::sobbing:: beautiful. We need more active citizens like that in the USA.
58. K' - June 4, 2010 4:36 PM
great, I hope they got bones broken and scars on their face that will never let them forget how pitiful and miserables they are, plus got killed :D
59. Psychonaut1337 - June 4, 2010 11:58 PM
What happened? Did Chinese civilians run out of rocks and sticks to beat down on criminals in a vigilante fashion, that they had to resort to crappy furniture? An IKEA was more convenient than the side of the street? For shame, China, for shame

so...how much furniture did this riot steal off with?
64. paul - June 8, 2010 11:57 AM
Much of Asia is like this about criminals. In Thailand someone grabbed my friend's mobile off a counter and took off running and about 20 people chased him.
65. TS - June 8, 2010 1:17 PM
No no, the crowd was beating up the perp to *get* the purse for themselves. ;-)
I did not see the woman in that video reappear, or the purse. Hm!
But seriously, wouldn't it be nice if people actually gave a crap when someone was robbed at gunpoint/stabbed/beaten/shot/mugged/etc. on the streets in the USA? I think it would. Bravo to the citizens of that street, at least.
66. yeah_its_me_again - June 9, 2010 12:18 AM
from where i'm from muggers not only get beaten half to death but also sold to police as fall guys for unresolved drug / murder cases.
67. Non-Racist - June 11, 2010 5:36 AM
What the hell is with all these idiots and their racist asian impersonations?
