Not really a duplicate as the other was moved so it could be locked.

I posted roughly 3 hours before the other one was locked (16 posts to lock seems pretty fast). I assume if this one heads down the same track it too will be locked.

Makes me happy we don't have hills in New Orleans.

Did they steal anything? I missed that in the writeup. I assume they wanted the bike or a wallet, but sometimes hoodlums just want to beat somebody up. I think that footage might be good enough to ID a couple of the assailants. Jerks. Cant wait to imagine them going to prison prom-night after capture.

Not if they are playing the knock out game and just took this one a little further.
