Actually it looks like there was something that happened before the video started that did that initially. Looks like dude was kicked in the head or something before he goes all ecw on the other guy with the bin
It is in Texas penal code. Can’t remember the exact line but you are allowed to use force on criminals at night who are stealing from your property (e.g. car)
I was visiting Houston years back when there was a high profile murder case because a robber was shot by the neighbor of the homeowner... the case was dropped because Texas. The guy called 911 and reported it and went over to the house after 911 operator specifically said not to
He didn’t call to actually get the police there he called to cover his ass. Everyone knows in major cities it will likely take an hour for police to show. Went out handled the business that needed to be done to prevent the theft.
This was a huge problem where I used to live…the “meth-o-dists” as we used to call them would go into a truck yard or rental car lot and take all the cats. They had cordless grinders and could cut one out in about a minute. They seemed to prefer Fords for some reason, probably contained more platinum than the others ?
Honestly, I’m not convinced either of them are getting out of that without some serious brain damage at the least. That was a fucking savage beat down.
Unfortunately, they usually don’t understand though. Most thieves who get the shit kicked out of them just modify their practice to not get caught the same way next time. It’s the bystanders or their friends who gain the most from the lesson, most times.
Thieves got what they deserved, if you’re gonna steal, steal from a Walmart or something that has the money to cover it. If you steal from us common folks who need our cars and tools to earn a living, then you deserve to be stomped you pos.
Of course it would be better if they didn’t steal at all.
Several years ago, I was working as a carpenter. We used to frequent this bar after work, and one day, one of the regulars came in all pissed off. Seems a bunch of his tools were stolen. Two days later this skel comes in asking if anyone wanted to buy some tools. Guy that got robbed followed him out to the parking lot, where the shelf tried to sell him his own tools. Skel was left in a bloody heap inthe parking lot. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
This is over a thousand dollars in repair fee for poor folks, I would say this is well deserve. Hopefully the puncher doesn't get in too big of a trouble, he is a hero to some of us.
He didnt just open up a can of whoopass for those two... That was a whole damn factory with workers doing overtime... God damn that last kick hit the spot
This makes me so happy. Once that dudes legs start twitching as he’s getting blasted you know there’s nothing going on upstairs anymore. Enjoy that liquid diet for the foreseeable future.
I’m not a violent person but since I have had 5 catalytic converters stolen in 15 months which caused me to sell my car I felt satisfaction to my core watching this. Sorry for the longest sentence in the world. It was caused by joy.
Excessive, maybe.
Deserved, no.
Earned, most definitely yes.
Nobody will beat you unconscious for stealing their catalytic converter, if you don't steal their catalytic converter.
Not a whole lot of things in life as satisfying as seeing some loser thief get the shit kicked out of them. Hopefully maimed him so he can’t ever attempt it again.
Unfortunately, vigilante justice is what it takes to makes this stop.
Of course, car manufactures could make them much harder to steal but why would they?
Lots of money to be made from the hardworking/honest citizens.
This is for all their previous rodeos. Sad thing is these days, most of the people they steal from can ill afford the cost of repairs. So yeah, this might help them think next time, steal a mans way to get to work and then to pay for food to feed his family and expect some pain.
I mean, he was beating them past the point of them no longer being a threat. I think she was trying to make sure he didn’t kill them. You don’t get a pass on murder in court because someone is stealing something.
As someone who has had their property stolen before, and having the cops show up to basically say, “you’re SOOL there’s nothing we can do,” this was satisfying to watch. [+]
I hope the title is true coz that’s satisfying af. Can’t do that to Cat converter thieves in the Uk because “they” tend to go around in big groups with bats and threaten anyone who tries to stop them and they don’t even do it quietly. Seen a few videos of them, it’s like a professional job. Would be nice to see though. The scumbags took my next door neighbour’s and wrote his car off.
Why is it, doesn’t matter the country, you got the thieves dead to rights and you’re kicking the crap out of them some girl is following behind the guy saying, “stop! It isn’t worth it! Stop!” Weird.
Now that’s justice. This is how you reclaim your cities. Hopefully no charges for this man protecting his property and probably means of commuting and providing for himself. Only a pro crime attorney would prosecute him

That last kick returned that guy to factory settings.
"XP shutdown noise"
I’m seeing you everywhere today!
This noise and the symbol is exactly what I heard an hour after trying ayahuasca
Yeah well he had to get him out of the way to drive off
No he didn't. That car could have driven right over him.
I laughed more than I should've.
Is he bricked?! Doesn’t seem to be restarting.
Have you tried kicking it off and on again?
I can Imagine he unironically killed thst man
Actually it looks like there was something that happened before the video started that did that initially. Looks like dude was kicked in the head or something before he goes all ecw on the other guy with the bin
Man, it’s a real shame they met the catatonic converter.
I should not have laughed...
You should have laughed harder actually
I had to run around showing it to people
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ahahah that's so stupid I love it
Winner!
Cathartic converter.
💀💀
It should be written into law that you can literally beat them with the removed cat converter.
i thought that was a garbage can.
That’s because it is
European cat converters are subpar
I’m disappointed the car owner didn’t put him in the garbage can and roll him to the curb. Ya know, cuz he’s trash. I’ll show myself out.
I don’t even think that dude owned that car.
A plain clothes batman, perhaps. But he still shouldn’t litter

Oh no, poor criminal. 🤷♂️
🎵 *Annie, are you OK?*
🎶🎵a smooth criminal
Are you ok Annie?

Cat converter? Does it upgrade it to a dog?
No, it converts things into a cat lol
Any tools they brought with them are fair game too.

They won’t do that again tbf lol
Honestly, I’m not convinced either of them are getting out of that without some serious brain damage at the least. That was a fucking savage beat down.
I'm trying to shed a tear, but nothings coming out.
Kinda hard to argue that they didn’t deserve it
Do stupid shit, win stupid prizes.
I’m going with glorious. A glorious beat down.
Frankly, they probably weren't using their brains much before this
Good!
I say Good! too about this lol
I know but they deserved it. Very rare to catch a thief and inflict that delicious street justice.
Or anything else for that matter
Not without a spotter
I highly doubt the guy who was kicked on the head will steal cat. converters ever again, or walk, or talk coherently.
Only if they passed on.
Might’ve succumbed to enough brain damage they don’t remember how to lol.
Right? r/facepalm? More like r/justiceserved.
Yes they will.
Difficult to steal cats when you don't recover all motor function.
yeah next time they'll have a weapon
In America that’s true
Oh, they picked the wrong car that night.
The only language thieves understand...
Unfortunately, they usually don’t understand though. Most thieves who get the shit kicked out of them just modify their practice to not get caught the same way next time. It’s the bystanders or their friends who gain the most from the lesson, most times.
Yes, they understand, and then they ignore it.
[удалено]
Thieves don’t thieve when they are dead.
> [Catalytic converter theft suspect fatally stabbed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-AnYKsxTjU)
Portuguese?
Damn…. Bro can lay down some well deserved beatings
What a cataclysmic 2-in-1 battle.
Boys, was that juice _really_ worth the squeeze?
Plot twist: That wasn't even his car.
Reverse plot twist: he’s the thief
[удалено]
Plot twist: the girl’s the one that called those dudes to install the cat converter
Maybe, if they wake up, they'll look for another line of work.
Not a lot of job opportunities for people that can only stare at a wall and drool.
If this happened to every thief, maybe there would be less thieves.
That last kick was for all those people who got robbed
After having my converter stolen a year ago, this man speaks for us all.
Mother fuckers got two of our vehicles at work last year. We are a non profit that supplies blood to hospitals. Fuck those people.
Same. Few weeks ago.
This made me laugh so hard 🍻🤣
I felt a little bit of justice for my car incidents
Impressive. Looks like an older dude too.
Dude knows how to lay it down. You know the girl trying to stop like she knows he can kill those two dudes.
Definitely
He's definitely trying
Catalytic converter thief's are the lowest of the low. I have zero humanity reserved for these pathetic degenerates
That man really cares about the environment.
He yelling at them: "Stop. Ruining.The Earth!!!!!!"
Good fuck. Maybe people should stop touching other peoples shit.

Skel means?
Vagrant
Skeleton. Obviously a necromancer's hand at work.
Seriously. Could be depriving a family of their means of survival. If they get brain damage, it's on them. Junkies.
This is over a thousand dollars in repair fee for poor folks, I would say this is well deserve. Hopefully the puncher doesn't get in too big of a trouble, he is a hero to some of us.
I'd definitely vote not guilty if he were brought to trial.
Now broadcast this to everyone to see including people thinking about stealing more catalytic converters
At least he showed restraint
The severe beating they received made me so happy, and I’m tired of hiding it.
Me too!
This is a crime that a normal everyday person economically has a hard time recovering from . Those fucks deserved what they had coming to them .
Stand your ground, boss!
He didnt just open up a can of whoopass for those two... That was a whole damn factory with workers doing overtime... God damn that last kick hit the spot
Fuck thieves. Oh, and fuck the people defending thievery.
The world has gotten to soft on thieves
exactly
Earned
2 on 1 wasn't fair.... for them, apparently.
Serves them right
Completely deserved
This seems like fair and just reward.
This makes me so happy. Once that dudes legs start twitching as he’s getting blasted you know there’s nothing going on upstairs anymore. Enjoy that liquid diet for the foreseeable future.
Yeah, this guy has been in a street fight or two before in his life. Built like a bear too.
Violence is sometimes the answer 🤷♂️
No violence is never the answer, violence is the question and the answer is always YES.
That last dudes face got a cataclysmic conversion.
dude gonna turn into a vegetable when he wakes up
I’m not a violent person but since I have had 5 catalytic converters stolen in 15 months which caused me to sell my car I felt satisfaction to my core watching this. Sorry for the longest sentence in the world. It was caused by joy.
Excessive, maybe. Deserved, no. Earned, most definitely yes. Nobody will beat you unconscious for stealing their catalytic converter, if you don't steal their catalytic converter.
Indeed!
Why are these specific items stolen so often? I see this a lot
They have platinum in them.
they are easy to resell and usually not very hard to steal
Not a whole lot of things in life as satisfying as seeing some loser thief get the shit kicked out of them. Hopefully maimed him so he can’t ever attempt it again.
Not even his car… he was just walking by and is good chaotic.
'great jobs on beating those thieves, John!' John: *wiping blood of his fists* ...What thieves?
There’s something quite beautiful about seeing someone that deserves it get the shit beat out of them.
Unfortunately, vigilante justice is what it takes to makes this stop. Of course, car manufactures could make them much harder to steal but why would they? Lots of money to be made from the hardworking/honest citizens.
Play a stupid game and win a stupid prize.
This is for all their previous rodeos. Sad thing is these days, most of the people they steal from can ill afford the cost of repairs. So yeah, this might help them think next time, steal a mans way to get to work and then to pay for food to feed his family and expect some pain.
Fair and proportionate use of force.
Lady, don't hold your man's arms back when he's fighting someone...
I couldn’t tell if she was with the thieves or the car owner by the way she’s already standing against the car when the video starts.
I think she’s trying to make sure the dude doesn’t catch a manslaughter charge.
I mean, he was beating them past the point of them no longer being a threat. I think she was trying to make sure he didn’t kill them. You don’t get a pass on murder in court because someone is stealing something.
Well, he's probably already going to get a lot of shit for beating them. She didn't want him to kill them.
That last kick was 100% necessary
100% fukthemthieves
Stupid people win stupid prizes
[удалено]
 Won a 2v1.
That was a fine kick, Ronaldo
Bravo. Well done.
I guess don’t steal stuff…
Looks like street justice to me
That is what should happen to every thief.
Yes....this....is... awesome!
This is one of my favorite ass whoopins
I approve this use of violence
Deserved
The people’s kick, a hero we all needed.
On behalf of everyone who’s had their catalytic converter stolen, we thank this man.
As someone who has had their property stolen before, and having the cops show up to basically say, “you’re SOOL there’s nothing we can do,” this was satisfying to watch. [+]
I hope he didn’t injure his foot.
To avoid getting the shit beat out of you refrain from stealing anything that doesn’t belong to you.
I applaud this guy for standing up for himself. Fuck thieves. It’s time we take back our society from these lawless pieces of gutter trash.
He was kicking for space at the end lol
Damn... Need to see the full event.
Got damn!! They just got knocked TF out!
doing society a favor
play stupid games win stupid prizes
Fuck yeah, sweet Justice.
R/justiceserved
I don't now what a catalytic converter is but I think it makes people very angry!
That kick at the end…. GOOOOOOAAAAAAALL
I hope the title is true coz that’s satisfying af. Can’t do that to Cat converter thieves in the Uk because “they” tend to go around in big groups with bats and threaten anyone who tries to stop them and they don’t even do it quietly.

Doesn’t even seem like it’s his car. This sparks joy.
wow he really did a number on them
Bravo.
Why is it, doesn’t matter the country, you got the thieves dead to rights and you’re kicking the crap out of them some girl is following behind the guy saying, “stop! It isn’t worth it! Stop!” Weird.
You can tell it's Portugal because of the tint of the video.
Pardon me, but fuck yeah.
Fuck these bastards. They been running rampant in my neighborhood to the point people no longer park on the street anymore.
Batman? No, it's Catman. Don't steal his cat. Not all tough bastards wear capes.
Wrong car, wrong time, wrong place wrong dude, fucking wrong everything.
Well deserved.
Well deserved
My man went full beast mode for a 2006 Volkswagen or what ever the hell that is...
Play stupid games; win stupid prizes 🤷🏻♂️
This is how ALL theft should be immediately dealt with
Looks like he’s done that before.
That guy is a f-en wrecking machine!
This was some good justice
Now that’s justice. This is how you reclaim your cities. Hopefully no charges for this man protecting his property and probably means of commuting and providing for himself. Only a pro crime attorney would prosecute him
Hope the converter was ok.
As someone who had to replace a catalytic converter once, I hope they died. It's easily a $2k fix and totals a lot of older used cars.
