To everyone else - stfu. All they did was push him around and try to intimidate him. They didn't bash the stupid *$&#^# teeth in, did they? They didn't push him to the ground and kick his head in. Do you guys even know what real "thugs" do? How about you rely on you bike for your livelihood. I want to see how you would react when it's stolen. These guys have tough jobs. I don't blame them for being on edge. Patrick – He says, “you stole the wrong n—ers bike.”

I have no goodwill for thieves, but this was just stupid. Curious, why hasn't anyone mentioned what the one guy said about "go steal a n----ers bike". Being punks is offensive enough, but ignorant, racist punks inclines me to sympathize with the thief. Thanks a-holes. I agree with the comments about the guys being a bunch of dicks.

A little farther even than an eye for an eye.

Even some firemen too? Bankers, baristas, church clergy...all sorts of people break laws and do shitty things. Just because some bike messengers are dicks doesn't mean they all are. I'd say this guy is a hero, a hero for everyone out there who has had their bike stolen. Paul,

They don't obey traffic laws, they go through red lights, they ride against traffic, they hit and run other cyclists who ARE obeying the laws, they hit and run pedestrians (here in NYC) ALL THE TIME, and they, generally speaking, have pretty rank b.o. Don't make heroes out of them. For the most part they are thugs. You know what else bike messengers do?
