The bicycle and the thief
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac1ddft5_WQ
"Two thieves on a motor-scooter flew by and snatched a woman's purse on a street in Wenzhou, China. Surveillance video shows a man riding a bicycle. As he was passing by the front of a hotel near where the thievery happened, he stopped, calmly got off his bicycle, picked it up, and then threw it at the thieves. The bicycle hit them, they lost control, and crashed to the ground."

Well, they execute their citizens for having the audacity to protest, so obiwan is prolly right in his assessment.

Actually the news is praising the cyclist in the video. It also says he rode away after the incident. For your interest, the pedestrian who attacks the downed robbers near the end is the hotel security guard.
Also, the report quote above states that those people are sentenced to death for crimes related to unrest during which over 200 people were killed. It does not say that they are sentenced to death for protesting. It is more likely that they are guilty of murder. Nice combination of biased news writing and poor reading comprehension (sadly prevelant).

Great video...I sang "Ku Fu Fighting" at a Karoki bar and was called a racist. LOL on China only executing murderers, as if Tianmin Square never happened!
