This is the moment a quick-thinking female Russian tourist took down a phone-snatcher in Argentina. Video posted by journalist Gonzalo Benitez shows the incident on November 9 when two thieves snuck up on the 33-year-old woman while she was on a bike waiting at a junction in the capital Buenos Aires. As they grab her device, she manages to wrestle one of them off the bike and hold him until Good Samaritans rush to her aid and help restrain him until the police arrive. Officers were also able to trace the offender who fled on the bike and discovered 10 cell phones at the property where he was arrested.

    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?)

      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.
