That's naked justice! Laughing mob leaves handbag thief stripped to his socks in busy road
By Lee Moran
Last updated at 10:08 AM on 17th November 2011

A laughing mob acted as judge and jury when a thief stole an elderly woman's handbag - by stripping him naked and leaving him stranded just in his socks on a busy road. Shocked

The red-faced rogue was publicly humiliated in the Chilean capital of Santiago, in front of a crowd of hundreds, after the group of ten gave chase following the woman's cries for help.

On catching the delinquent, they threw him to the ground and proceeded to rip off all of his clothes.
Ignoring his desperate pleas for leniency, his shoes were lobbed across the highway and he was later relieved of his trousers and underwear.
Video footage, filmed by passerby Luis Guzman on his mobile phone, then shows one of the vigilantes ordering the thief to remove his shirt.

The crowd, from a walkway above, then threw coins and plastic bottles at the blushing criminal.
He tried to board a passing car, begging the driver for help, but was denied. He was then hauled off by a policeman.

Mr Guzman said: 'When someone started shouting, take his clothes off, takes his clothes off, it was so funny.
'They started with his shoes, which they threw into the road, then his trousers, and then his underwear. Lastly they took off his top.
'It was great. I think it was good that people see that happens. The police then came and detained him.
'All the people were cheering. It was a fantastic ending.'

A similar incident occurred earlier this month in Lima, Peru, where a group of taxi drivers ganged up on criminals who had tried to rob a colleague.
They beat the thieves, forced them to strip naked, and made them walk through the streets in sub zero temperatures.

You've messed with the wrong motorist! Drink driving thug rams car three times... only to be chased down by professional kickboxer who was at the wheel
By Mary Mcconnell
Last updated at 7:30 PM on 31st December 2011

This is the moment a professional kickboxer pinned down a drunk driver on his car bonnet and waited for the police to arrive.

Have-a-go hero Darren Summers, 39, chased down fellow driver Augustinas Karvelis after he was rammed in his Renault Clio three times while driving back from a cinema in Ipswich.
He hunted him through the grounds of a church, over a fence and into a back garden - before hauling him back to his car and hurling him across the bonnet.

Mr Summers held on to his attacker until police officers arrived at the scene and a breath-test confirmed Karvelis, who was driving his Citroen Saxo without insurance, was twice the drink-drive limit.

Mr Summers was travelling to his uncle's home after a trip to the cinema with his wife Sharon on Tuesday, December 27 when Karvelis roared up behind him.
The father-of-two slowed down and moved to one side after Karvelis sped up with his lights on full beam.
Mr Summers, of Stowmarket, Suffolk, said: 'The car came past at a horrific speed.
'It was all over the show, going towards the kerb and the middle of the road. We got as far as the church and it stopped in the middle of the road.'

The martial arts expert said he smelled alcohol on Karvelis' breath and he begged the couple not to ring the police as Sharon dialled 999. 'He tried to drive off,' he added.
'Then he rammed my car and then reversed back and hit it again.
'He reversed about two or three metres and I thought he was going to ram me at speed, so I made a decision to ram him first and pushed him into a fence.'

Karvelis made off on foot but he was out-run by superfit Mr Summers.
The kickboxer grabbed Karvelis when he ran into the wall of an outbuilding and he was hauled back to the scene.

Karvelis was jailed for 24 weeks by Ipswich magistrates after admitting drink-driving, two counts of disqualified driving and driving with no insurance. He was also banned from driving for five years.
But Mr Summers said the sentence had been too lenient. 'I think it is disgusting,' he said. 'It's absolutely ridiculous in my opinion.
'When I was 17 I got banned for speeding. Being young I decided to drive my car to go to work and I got six months for driving while disqualified and I hadn't been drinking.

'He was already a drink driver before this. He was well over the limit and he rammed my car three times to get away. Not only did he put me in danger and my wife in danger, if I had not rammed him, you don't know if any members of the public would have been killed and I wasn't prepared for that to happen.
'I would like to see harsher penalties for people who drink drive once they start hitting double the drink-drive limit.'

Mr Summers has two disabled children and is also angry because the damage to his car means it cannot be driven, leaving him to pay out for taxis and bus fares. 'I can't get a courtesy car. It's costing me a fortune,' he said.

I have a personal experience kind of in the same vein; please don't take it as a gleeful boast brimming with testostorone, or that I condone the excessive use of violence beyond that which is necessary to incapacitate an assailant to a reasonable degree which leaves you unharmed.

Anyhow, a couple years back, I had picked my younger brother up straight on my way home from work to go to my friend's for an impromptu BBQ. On arriving, we decided to make a run to the liquor store across the street (I mean literally) from his apartment complex. On our way out the complex onto the public sidewalk, we saw two "street" looking guys our age (young 20's) sitting on the steps drinking alcohol. One shared our slim build and the other was a big guy with at least 100 pounds on either of us, sporting the "traditional" cholo (Mexican gangbanger) look complete with "OC" neck tattoos. Being the friendly guys my brother and I are, we made eye contact, nodded our "how do's" and continued on our way.

About halfway to the street crossing, we began hearing the two guys yelling insults after us, primarily graphic depictions about the manner in which they proposed to sexually please our Mother (and Grandmother Shocked

)
Now, not to toot our own horn but my little brother and I, despite having grown up in nice, upper middle class neighborhoods, for whatever reason constantly had to stick up for ourselves against various bullies growing up and are both fully capable of defending ourselves, he moreso than I, I must admit, due to the entirety of his young work career being spent in hard physical labor and amateur boxing.
Being the more considerably laid back one, I gave them a rather good natured, "F**k off, douches", but my little brother was getting considerably more hot under the collar and, halfway across the middle of the street, turned to me and said, "If they say one more thing, I'm gonna be pissed." Sure enough, the insults continued, so he turned around and began walking toward them, all the while inviting them to shut up, or prepare to back up their machismo. Now, the slimmer thug by this point, hung behind his burly friend and my pussy footing friend followed suit (though he often brags about his proficiency at bar fightin -which I've yet to verify) while I jogged to catch up with my little brother.

As my little brother walked swiftly to meet our aggressor at the edge of the sidewalk, the bastard attempted to crack him over the head with a FULL 40 oz glass bottle. Now, at this point, I'd like to point out again that I'm not condoning excessive, unreasonable violence, but anyone who has been the target of aggression, or involved in any physical altercation can attest to the switch that flicks when someone intends to harm you, and especially someone you love. Now, fortunately my brother is an accomplised boxer, so he deflected much of the blow (he did have a lump and cut for a long time where it glanced off his skull, however) and clocked the guy square in the jaw. On seeing this cowardly display towards my brother, which seriously could have injured him, I saw red and jumped in and before long, the assailant was sprawled in a planter, looking utterly confused that his offensive obviously had not gone as planned. Now as angry as we were, because think about it, a well placed full force blow with a Full 40 could easily have caused a massive concussion, if not worse, we let him off easy and told him to go home ... by this time, it was drizzling, and cars were stopping to watch us trade punches until the guy landed like a beached whale into the dirt. It must have been quite the sight - me in my business attire, slacks and Italian loafers and my little brother slinging with a big cholo in a leather jacket.
Now, granted for it to have been a "fair" fight, I should have stepped back and let my brother do his thing (he clearly could have handled it entirely himself), but when it's a street fight, which clearly most rational people try to avoid, and the guy instigating it clearly has no concern for your well being and safety, "fair" simply doesn't register in the heat of the moment. To his credit, the guy didn't have a "button" - as I can attest to, given the blubber coating his skull which did a nice little number on my knuckles - as most guys would typically go down when tapped in the chin with that force. The outcome could have been much worse for this guy, however, as we were both standing over him within a matter of seconds, but figuring he had gotten his, and that the immediate threat was quelled, we went our merry way to buy some booze and enjoy the rest of the evening. Interestingly, my little bro ran into his slimmer friend at a local skatepark a couple weeks later and was told with a grin that even he felt the big dude had it coming as he typically spent his nights going to bars picking fights, expecting no one to retalitate as people were so put off by his intimidating stature. Hope at least that night makes him second guess that before he seriously hurts someone, or someone else gets him in a compromising position and gets too carried away that he's put out for good.

Why do people do that 'picking fights for a hobby' thing?
I mean, sooner or later someone who does that will meet someone who will do them some serious damage. Or worse.

Have-a-go hero traps burglar by sitting on him after using move copied from TV show
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 8:04 PM on 29th January 2012

At little over 5ft 8in tall and weighing only nine stone, you might not think Greame Finlay would be much of a match for a burly burglar armed with a brick.
But thanks to a few moves learned from the television show Traffic Cops, he was able to become a pint-sized have-a-go hero after pinning the snarling villain to the ground and sitting on him for 15 minutes until police arrived. Very Happy

The brave 42-year-old had to fend off repeated attempts by raider Jethro Kendrick, 36, to bite him and hit him with a brick.
Chef Mr Finlay, from Peterborough, says watching real life police TV programmes gave him the inspiration for some of his moves as he tackled Kendrick.

The drama happened at Mr Finlay's elderly and disabled neighbour's home after she raised the alarm and he jumped over a fence to help.
He said: ‘Adrenaline just took over. I didn't even think about the consequences.
‘I did a citizen's arrest - I twisted his arm around, pinned him down and put my hand behind his head.
‘I've seen numerous police programmes on TV - like Traffic Cops - where people do this move, they inspired my actions.’

Now Mr Finlay has been awarded £500 from public funds in tribute to his actions by a judge, who also sentenced Kendrick to three years in jail.
Kendrick, from Peterborough, pleaded guilty at Peterborough Crown Court to burglary after being found in possession of jewellery from the victim's house and his fingerprints were found on her jewellery box.
The break-in happened on July 25 last year.

Recalling the incident, Mr Finlay said: ‘I went in my back garden and my neighbour said "someone's in my house". I jumped over the fence and rushed in.
‘I chased after him, grabbed him and pinned him down on the garden path outside the front door. He's a big guy but I managed to overcome him.
‘I was sat on him for 15 minutes until the police arrived. It felt like hours and I wasn't sure what to do.
‘He tried to grab a brick from nearby and then tried to bite me but missed. I just tried to keep calm and keep his arms still - he was getting very frustrated.
‘By now a few people had seen what was going on and came over to help until the police arrived.’

He added: ‘I'm getting married in the summer so the £500 reward will come in handy - we may get a longer honeymoon. I feel chuffed with the reward but I was only doing what anyone else would do.’
Mr Finlay said his neighbour, who did not want to be identified, had thanked him for coming to her rescue.

Detective Constable Robin Gray said: ‘Thanks to his courage and determination, we made a quick arrest.’

Man fights off Falmouth muggers
1:00pm Saturday 7th April 2012 in Falmouth/Penryn

Two would-be muggers got their comeuppance outside a Falmouth school last week, when their victim fought back and scared his attackers away.
The 21-year-old man, who did not want to be named, was walking home along Longfield, near St Francis Primary School, in the early hours of Friday morning when he was approached by the two men demanding his wallet and phone.

He told them that he was not going to give them anything and the muggers responded with violence, assaulting him in the street before he was able to leave.

Sergeant Dave O'Neill, from Falmouth police, said: “The interesting thing about this is, having been assaulted, he fought back and he managed to punch one of the offenders quite squarely in the face - he's convinced that the punch will have caused some facial injuries to that man.
“So we are looking for somebody who turned up at home on Friday night or Saturday morning with a facial injury - a black eye or something like that,” he added.

Described as a white male of normal build, aged about 18, the would-be mugger that was punched was wearing a black, tight-fitting hoodie with a tribal design across the chest. He is about six foot two and has a local accent.

His partner in crime, also white, is described as being smaller, between five foot five and five foot six, of a slim build and wearing a dark-coloured Nike hoodie, possibly navy.

Both ran off before they could steal anything from their erstwhile victim and the police are now appealing for anyone with any information to come forward.
Detective Constable Al Jordan, who is handling the case, said that two males were seen acting suspiciously in the area between 1.30am and 2am.
He is asking for anyone who can help with the investigation to contact him on 213444 ref GP/12/765 or via email at 14860@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk

A bit worrying for me, as the scene of the attack is not all that far from here. It's just a fairly modern suburb, certainly quiet by day - I sometimes go through there on a bus. But I'm unlikely to be wandering about there in the early hours. In fact, I'm surprised anyone was; it was well after closing time, and some way from the two pubs and one club within walking distance.

The "local accent" is interesting - hardly any teenagers around here have that nowadays!

Unless he works at one of the drinking establishments, then that time would be quite normal.

You reckon? They'll probably rape the next one, just to prove they can. In fact, had this girl not been rescued by a passerby, they'd've probably raped and killed her. Best way to teach them a lesson is to make them eat through a tube for a year, not half-heartedly slap them about.

Vengeance of the windscreen wiper who fought dirty
Well done to the disgusted citizens of Tunbridge Wells who stand accused of smearing canine mess on nuisance parkers’ windscreens
By Rowan Pelling
6:52PM BST 14 Aug 2012

If an Englishman’s home is his castle, his parking space is his coach-house. It’s the enclave where he stables his iron carriage and he’ll defend it with his sword, his honour and, if need be, dollops of dog poo. Shocked

The disgusted citizens of Tunbridge Wells stand accused of smearing canine mess on nuisance parkers’ windscreens. The encroaching vehicles are overspill from AXA PPP Healthcare’s new headquarters. The company provided a mere 250 parking spaces for the 550 employees, leading to parking wars on the spa town’s streets.

My sympathies are firmly with the Kent town’s householders. I live just outside Cambridge’s residents-only parking scheme and each day marks a fresh battle against the invading hordes. Market traders park their vans here, tight-fisted shoppers avoid fees at the town’s multi-storeys, while an “integrated health centre” over the way offers “corrective holistic exercise kinesiology” to people who squat in their motors beforehand, chain-smoking Marlboros.

The most persistent offenders are council employees too lazy to use their own Park and Ride scheme. My husband has been known to stalk workers to the council offices to confirm their blatant hypocrisy. Scathing notes are then left under windscreen wipers; detailed criticism of their choice of car adds a personal touch. The miscreant rarely returns: they know a nutter when they read one. He hasn’t resorted to emptying our cat litter on their bonnets, but then my area has its other avenging angel in the form of the old lady who lives nearby. On one celebrated occasion she descended on a man who had parked outside her house with his radio blaring.

“You are upsetting my dog,” she said. “If you don’t move, I will wipe my soiled underwear over your windscreen.” The man took no heed, so she returned with a large, grey pair of used drawers and proceeded to wipe them all over his vehicle. Never has a parking spot been vacated so swiftly. Twisted Evil

I suggest the residents of Tunbridge Wells keep their underpinnings handy.

Amir Khan knocks out thug who tried to his steal Range Rover
An armed gang fled empty handed after picking on boxers Amir and Haroon Khan and trying to steal Amir's Range Rover.
By Rosa Silverman
8:18AM BST 09 Oct 2012

An armed gang picked the wrong victim when they tried to steal a £100,000 Range Rover belonging to the boxer Amir Khan.
The former world champion and his brother Haroon, who is also a boxer, were set upon in the early hours of yesterday as they returned to the vehicle following a night out.

A gang of at least six men used a 4x4 car to try and block the brothers’ path but the Khans reportedly fought back and their assailants eventually fled from the scene in Birmingham.

A witness to the incident told The Sun newspaper: “One (of the men) slapped Amir and clipped him on the lip but Amir pulled back and knocked him out cold. Cool

“Then five of them went for Amir and Haroon but they stood their ground and these guys got dropped one by one.”
All the Khan brothers were doing was defending their property, the witness said.

They had travelled to Birmingham from Bolton, their home town, for a gig.
Police confirmed they had been called out following reports of a fight but said nobody had come forward.
