    Amazing!

    Summary:
    Five robbers on motorbikes pull up to a jewellers, start breaking the glass with hammers for a smash-and-grab raid, only to have the passing crowd of people turn on them, haul them off their bikes and hold them until the police arrive. A couple of the robbers got away but not with very much loot! :D

    Now that's a good news story, about time people took action en masse against scumbags!

    Between this and the rescued miners I'm beginning to enjoy reading the news these days!

    A lot of folk are getting tired of just being victims. Nice to see someone made a difference.

    All civilians should be armed with pellet guns so we can shoot but not kill these scummy feckers.

    Have to say I wasn't surprised at all to see Biggins get first response on this :) No sign of The Citizen...I guess he's out fighting crime himself :D

    Anyone got a good source for spandex? The Citizen is getting his costume updated.

    EDIT: Meme FAIL. Damned slow typingfingers.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I'd like to catch a robber! Or even the Predator.

    "Take a seat right here. So you're naked, there's a 14 year old girl, you're chasing a cat around and you've got Cool Whip and you want this girl to do some sex act with the cat and then you'll have sex with her. Is that accurate?" - Chris Hansen you legend.

    I love attempting to derail After Hours.

    Should have stabbed them several times. That's a tried and tested way of calming down robbers.

    Good to see that the Cops caught three others later.

    Due to their tough upbringing Kensington folk know how to handle themselves.

    I wonder did the crowd hand back all the jewelery?

    Ryan Shipperley, 23, an IT worker, said: “When the last biker tried to leave without his mate, two or three guys bundled him off the bike, a street sweeper hit him with a broom and it ended up with about seven people sitting on top of him. The last robber dropped his sledgehammer, took off his helmet and ran off down the back streets, dropping all the jewellery as he escaped.

    Ahh, doing his part for the nerds. Sitting back watching and commenting after. :pac:
