VIDEO: Man Throws Bike at Thieves

Someone posted he could have killed the thieves it was just a purse and did not warrant his actions. What do you think? Would you have gotten involved? Has anyone ever come to your defense?

P.S. Share your favorite video.

I wouldn't throw my bike. My bike is worth more to me than someone else's purse.

Well if it was a cheap hi-ten pos frame, then I can understand him. That thing is heavy too..

But if it wasn't, then it's a waste of a good bike!

At least he did something, which is a helluva lot more than most would do. Good on him!

If you're stealing things, you should expect to get beaten up. It's kind of the deal.

Never seen the video. That was awesome. I hope he gets laid (or at least a new bike) out of all of this.

I think they were lucky... I applaud his actions and think it is what we need more of here. used to be that neighbors would take care of each other.
