one thug that didn’t get away
Sometimes the bad guys do get taken down quickly.
Wanna bet the creep will sue?
Hope it hurt a lot when he fell.
Brave guy what. Knock down an old lady and grab her purse. But not this time. Look and read.
Take a look at the bad guy. I haven’t seen anyone look this stupid since the would be shoe bomber.
Dramatic moment Good Samaritan rugby tackled thug who robbed woman, 82
By DAILY MAIL REPORTERThis is the dramatic moment a mugger who robbed an elderly woman of her pension got rough justice - after being rugby tackled by a Good Samaritan in the middle of a car park.
Violent thug Benjamin Brown had attacked the 82-year-old woman and snatched her handbag outside a post office in Leicester.
But as he fled he was spotted by Sam Woodward, who chased after the thief and grabbed him as he tried to get away.
After rugby tackling him to the ground, former doorman Mr Woodward kept Brown in an arm lock for 10 minutes until police arrived, before handing back the stunned pensioner’s handbag.
Mr Woodward said: ‘When I caught up with him, I rugby tackled him to the ground, got him in an arm lock and waited for the police to arrive.
‘I used to be a doorman for five years so I knew what I was doing and I didn’t hurt him too much.’
Brown, 31, was jailed for five years after admitting the robbery in July 2011 and a string of other offences at Leicester Crown Court earlier this week.
A court heard his previous convictions included stealing three medals worth £600 from a war memorabilia stall in Loughborough.
Mr Woodward added: ‘You could tell the victim was in shock - she walked over to me while I was still sitting on top of him and asked for her purse back, because she’d like to go home.

‘I went to see her in hospital after it happened and she was still shaky and she looked like she’d been involved in a rugby match - she was covered in bruises.
‘I’m glad he got a long sentence as this is something that will probably stay with her for the rest of her life.’
The victim, who has asked not to be named, was kept in hospital overnight with cuts, grazes and a knee injury.
Don’t find a lot of stories with reasonably good end to em.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
