Always beware of 2 people on a motorcycle
Agreed, but she woulda needed a mirror to see them coming, and been looking.
She knew what was happening the moment she did see them though and did an amazing job latching on.
Pfft I'm wary of one person in a motorcycle and I don't even live in Argentina anymore. Scarred for life.

I'm from Colombia (all Latam countries share a lot of culture and daily life style) and images like this are somewhat common. Here this thieve would be set free in 48 hours at max, so people take justice all by themselves, as the judicial system won't do shit.
This is jokingly called "paloterapia", or "kick therapy".
Thought she was about to put him into a kneebar or bust out some other Jiu Jitsu for a second there.
this is what actual anarchy looks like
Everyday people coming to the aide of a fellow human who is fighting to stop herself being victimized is anarchy? Yeah, pretty much. Doesn't seem like a bad thing, though. If we all took that level of responsibility, you wouldn't need much of a governmental force.
I think everything you just said with many words, is what he said with few words. You're both in agreement.
I read it as meaning the exact opposite (as in, the crime part is what anarchy looks like) so they might want to reconsider the wording.

I wish cops were reliable
I wish they weren't corrupt, rapists, murderers, and recently, kidnappers.
Abolish police. Form well-regulated militias instead. Most of the "police" don't even live in the neighborhoods they enforce the laws in.

Nah, anarchy probably wouldn't have cops to come pick him up at the end. They'd just beat him some more until they felt justified enough cause what else ya gonna do?
Anarchy would shun them from social systems until they made appropriate reperations. They might be jailed, they might be exiled, they might just be cut off from all but basic food/services/etc.
There are law enforcement answers in anarchist societies that aren't "have cops."
