    Yep, but don't steal bikes. That's the better way to understand it.
  • Dave DiPetrillo 1 year ago
    I remember when this video came out. Those were two very pissed off bike messengers that the guy tried to steal from.
  • Elisabeth Anderson 2 weeks ago
    They're messengers, not hipsters. Hipsters took messenger style. Hipsters can often afford to just buy a new bike, messengers can't!

    well... kicking and hitting him wont solve anything.. the striped tee guy is just lame. hold the guy and hand him over to the cops..
  • John Ozed 2 years ago
    cops wouldn't have done anything. bigger fish to fry. In NYC during matters like this you have to act fast since you're on your own.
  • dont be an idiot...take care of your shit, "First name, Last name" obviously had his mother handle his conflicts as a child..... hipster cryer scum...
  • ps Chris Collins....Those kind of profile pictures belong on a 7th grade girls' myspace page.

    Two cops were just riding by in their cruiser in Brooklyn when they saw two idiots trying to steal my bike in broad daylight. One was leaning out of his friend's Saturn with a pair of clippers just about to snip. I walked up to unlock my bike while they were being bent over and frisked.

    Full charges pressed! Thank you to DECENT NY COPS.

    Seconded. Videos of people kicking other people (and the act itself) are not cool.
  • Adam P 2 years ago
    I wouldn't consider this garbage. Unlike many backyard fighting videos on youtube this has a clear message and to me is actually so relieving to watch. You get your bike stolen, but never really get a chance go confront the thief. What was witnessed here is what many bike owners who have got their bike stolen would do and always wanted to do.

    Plus, people are allowed to post what they want on vimeo, if your going to hate, go hate on youtube.

    You guys showed good restraint without unleashing on him. Still got your point across. There's a difference between teaching a lesson and wanting to do what you REALLY feel like doing. That's the fine line cops have a hard time dealing with on people that pay their salaries.. Way to refrain from becoming one of them. :)

    I get a lot of people sort of feeling bad for the thief, but think about it. He tried to steal this dude's livelihood.

    What's a bike messenger going to do without his bike?

    It's not like they beat him to within an inch of death. He's going to be hurting for a week or so, but he didn't lose any teeth, he didn't break any bones, and he's definitely not bleeding internally or externally (they didn't hit him no where near hard enough).
  • Greg T 2 years ago
    He probably /should/ be missing a couple of teeth; I wouldn't call internal bleeding/organ damage fair, but a $1600 frame is about the same cost as getting a root canal done.

  • Adam P 2 years ago
    This is my favorite video on vimeo! I don't know If I would have stopped beating him till I saw tons of blood pile up.

  • John Ozed 2 years ago
    My buddy had his bike stolen last night. I'm not a violent guy but if you try to steal my bike you had better beware.
  • timpedersen 2 years ago
    I always wanted to catch a guy in the act, two cops did that for me but I haven't personally. I'd love the opportunity to clothesline some mangy scrub to the ground.

    I honestly think the first time I felt my heart break was when I realized that the bigger kids down the street had stolen my bike and repainted it. I couldn't prove anything... but I knew that it was my Huffy, suffocating under their doughy thighs and that completely ludicrous matte-finish day-glo orange coat.

    Best content on Vimeo of the second week of September. The thief should've had his hands cut off and dragged through the streets of New York by a marathon of working messengers to send a message to all bike thieves. I'll quote Travolta's character in Pulp Fiction, "Don't f*ck with another man's vehicle, you just don't do it."
  •  
  • EnjoyYourDay 2 years ago
    I agree the dude should have had his ass kicked but by three dudes? Come on! The thief looked half retarded!

    To me that's just some pussy shit.
  • timpedersen 2 years ago
    Yeah his friends should have just stood there like idiots.

  • Uolmo 2 years ago
    Ugly vid'. Beat someone, even if he's a thief, is ugly, rec the action is uglier, put that on web "pilori" style is stupid.
  • timpedersen 2 years ago
    I think it's beautiful. It's real, it's visceral, it's justice, it's NY dialects, it's a friggin uber-hipster in a mime getup! Come on! You see no value in this? :)

    Fuck bike thieves
    4 of our bikes got jacked a few nights ago, If I had the chance to catch that mother fucker he would have been beatn down a lot worse.

  • honkville 2 years ago
    first off bro, how much is your bike worth that you need to beat up a guy with 2 other people? if it was properly locked maybe you wouldn't have the problem in the first place. your stupid messenger mojo shit needs to chill.
  • Ian Berenger 2 years ago
    he was using a power tool to get through the lock...
  •  
  • Rum Luck 2 years ago
    Bwahahahahaha! Fuck thieves.
  •  
  • Pat Branch plus 2 years ago
    honkville, are you retarded? Do you not know how much bikes cost? Bikes get stolen, even when properly locked... Even out of trailers. You don't even know if it was locked or not. If it was unlocked, that doesn't make it okay to be stolen...in which case the thief should still be beat up.

    Awesome video!

  • Han Hua 2 years ago
    I hate the bitch in the background yelling "dont fight! let him go!"

    They're the ones who call the cops later on because you assaulted the thief.
    That happened to me when an idiot tried taking my bike...URGH

    You know, what if he had his own bike stolen, and was wandering around trying to find it and just got desperate and tried to steal this one so he could go work? Did he have a small boy with him?

    People who steal bikes deserve to get hit by a bus on the stolen bike. What goes around comes around.

    yeah it should have been 1 guy beating him down not 3. oh well lesson learned. DONT STEAL BIKES
  •  
  • Sam Russell 2 years ago
    i dont care what people say, that fucker shoulda got a worse beating. i know iff it was me i would go fucking mental, i dont care how much its worth or how rare it is or whatever, you dont steal someones bike. and about the 3 people beating him up, tough shit, he shouldnt be stealing bikes.
  •  
  • Ryan R 2 years ago
    I don't believe in violence as a solution, but he coulda got a way worse beating. They let him off pretty easy as far as beat downs go. He's lucky... bros.

    The application of impulsive violence is obviously a reaction without wisdom, but hipsters aren't really harvengers of wisdom are they... They are realities for stupid thief boy to learn from. Hard lessons from the universe.

    Stealing is stupid and disrespectful... obviously, but the guy does not deserve to die because of it. That's an ill stated reply/opinion. Everyone has the opportunity and right to change and become "human". None of us know what drove him to theft.

    That said, maybe this guy will learn something after a couple beatdowns. Find another way to live without f*cking people over.

    Violence is never the answer for anything.

    Sure, you may say that the bike was the livelihood of the messenger, but hey, a bike is a bike. You can always get another one. And if the bike is that important, why didn't you insure it?

    Just imagine if the guy, when he fell down, had hit the head on something and died? How would you feel about it then?

    A life is a life, no matter whose life it is. A bike is just a thing. Violence is never the answer.

    Street justice at it's best. If people in the community stood up and represented like that on thier own streets the world would actually be a better place. Doesn't the guy in the stripped shirt look like Ben Stiller?

    Juste HATE these god damn bike thiefs.. If I caught one I would bring him/her home to my place or drag him/her out in the woods and torture him/her until he/she wants to commit suicide. Maybe brutally rape him/her with a knife?

    Nah, maybe not. But the idea is like music to my sensors.
