Just viewed the video and I say stupid people do stupid things, the two tattoo busiest need to be smarter and not post crap on social media, now if they had a video of the kid taking the bike and posted that it still wouldn't clear them. Social media and videos/lol

Some fun 'facts':

1) The "camera man" that recorded the incidente had previously been convicted to over 5 years in prison for robbery, which makes the whole situation a bit hypocritical.

2) Since they, the tattoo "artist" and the "camera man", are now in police custody, according to their statement they "thought" the minor wanted to steal the bike.

3) They,  the tattoo "artist" and the "camera man", are being investigated, and will certainly be prosecuted for the crime of torture, which in this specific case, since the victim was a minor, has a minimum prison time of 5 years and a maximum of 12. Since they video taped it, their sentence will probably be ten years or so.


So that is indeed a good way to treat "them", the tattoo "artist" and the "camera man". :D
