I hate thieves. Few things irk me more than the sight of a man going cowardly after someone’s else goods.

It sickens me when someone becomes a victim of thievery, particularly when the thief in question is a violent person.

Thief is a scummy practice, even more so when it is done sneakily.

The following incident took place on November 14, 2015 in Deyang, Sichuan Province, China. A man is withdrawing cash from an ATM when a mugger cowardly attacks him, probably confident in the idea that he would walk away with his victim’s hard-earned money.

The altercation is violent. The mugger points at the freshly-withdrawn cash and grabs the victim by the collar, throwing multiple punches in the process. A few of them land flush on the victim’s face but he doesn’t flinch and actually fights back. And that is where the tables turn.

The victim, displaying great courage and decided to not let a scum thief get away, grabs a hold of the thief’s neck and starts pummeling his face with hard punches. He then rushes the mugger to the ground and continues unleashing strikes on him, manhandling him badly.

The security footage actually cuts for a few seconds, but when it is up again you can see the mugger beat up on the ground, unable to stand up.

The best part about this video? After bravely fighting back and manhandling the mugger, the victim casually finishes his transaction and walks away while the mugger is still unconscious on the ground, like it was no big deal!

I love when scummy thieves get owned, and this man delivered in spectacular fashion.

This man definitely won the Internet on that day, but more importantly he won the respect of everybody who witnessed his courageous act.
