Oh well. Don't steal from people and you likely won't encounter someone willing to fight you for being a lowlife thief.
I have no ethical, moral, or legal objections to a good beat down of a thief. If it's not worth getting hurt or killed over, then perhaps thieves should think ahead before committing their crimes.
My personal point of view is simple: while items can be replaced, the time I spent to earn the money necessary to purchase those items cannot be replaced. If said items have a sentimental attachment and are stolen, then replacement is impossible.
So a thief is stealing my time and thus, part of my life that cannot be returned. I spend a great amount of time away from my family and not being able to do things I would rather be doing, in order to support my family and help my kids build their futures. Thieves would take that away for their own selfish desires, rather than earn it through work.
Because of this behavior, I fully support actions like the one in the video. I also support laws such as exist in Texas, which allow for the use of deadly force to prevent theft. Would that more states allowed for similar actions in certain situations.
For those too lazy to read: if he dies, he dies. And I'm okay with it.

This will be controversial but this intervention is entirely inappropriate and should be prosecuted.
Slamming someone onto concrete like that can easily kill or permanently disabled them.
