@ first vid.
Hmm, Seems like an excellent idea. The messenger in the second vid shoulda been in the first one.

On second thought, the messengers in the vids should trade places 'cause the pedestrian in the second vid probably only deserved to get slapped around and the thief in the first vid shoulda gotten clocked with a u-lock. Yeah!

1st vid: they let the bike thief off lightly. Very lightly.

2nd vid: the pedestrian was following the cyclist, harrassing the cyclist, and received justice. :)

Disclaimer. Of course in either of the videos, we dont know what happened prior to the video being captured, but in 1st vid, *looks* like the guy really was a bike theif as he was apologizing.

Call me a cynic but i am guessing both vids are staged fakes.

First vid: I would've rather seen the thief arrested rather than beaten. Both would be OK though if he was resisting a citizen's arrest.

Second vid is just wrong. Fisticuffs between adults is just an indication of poor communication skills. The guy did nothing good for the perception of cyclists.
