0:00 Yo, y'all see this clip right here? These Filipino pickpocket influencers, I believe, got into a smackdown with the pickpockets in Rome, Italy. This is the clip right here. Check it out. They're catching them. They're confronting these pickpockets. He said, "Let's fight with them." I think he said, "Let's follow them." >> Follow. >> I'll follow, yeah. >> Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. >> You know Filipino accents? He tries to grab the phone. Ooh, that fool tried to headbutt him. The guy in the red's the Filipino. Who's that ████ Is it part of the crew? >> Yeah.
0:52 >> Start swinging at him. Oi! Is that guy with the hat? He's a Filipino, too. >> Oh, snap. >> Yeah, dude. Get Get those pickpockets, man. >> Oh, snap. >> Did they pepper spray him? >> Snap. >> The guy that started ████ is running away. >> Yeah, running away, dude. >> ████ Yo, that's crazy. >> Watch your wallets. >> Yo, that's an angry Filipino man. I mean, he he got punched first, though, so Oh, that fool was crying.
1:42 >> He's a little crybaby now. He has pepper spray on his face, too. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yo, you sprayed him while he was laying down, bro. You didn't have to spray him laying down. >> They will affect a whole freaking >> Yeah, dude, it messes you up, man. >> that was crazy. >> Yo, sorry we had to spray him is crazy. He was getting >> While that fool was on the ground, he sprayed him. >> Ended to him and he sprayed him in the face. That was helpful at that point. >> So, the amount of news that I know about like is is that a lot of people are think saying that like this Filipino kid was getting pickpocketed and then for revenge he he beat him up. But actually, these guys are like pickpocket hunters. So, like you know how pickpocketing is a major ████ issue all all over in Europe. Yeah. So, like because it's a problem, a lot of people
2:33 have been just recording them and like just following them and there's like a pickpocket watch group. So, you just record them and then you just be like, "Hey, pickpocketer, pickpocketer, right?" But then now there's like all these teams that like come together and they have a whole network where like if you catch a pickpocketer or you see one, you just put them into the group chat or like these different like pickpocket watch groups and then volunteers will go and make sure to follow them so they don't pickpocket anybody. And some of them are just like like they're on Instagram or like YouTube and they're just creators and they're just pickpocket hunters. That dude Tyler Oliveira, he did some really good videos of like catching pickpocketers with other guys and I'm like, "Dude, I love these guys. They're so ████
3:23 entertaining." Yeah. And I'm like, "Why don't the locals do anything?" Like I don't get it. Like we don't really have this problem in the States. >> I feel like it's just became part of the culture maybe cuz I remember when I went to Europe the first time I think this was maybe like 2000 man, 2000 4 or even 5 even. Um I went with a tour group and our tour guide was like, "Hey, just let you know, the the pickpocketing here is ████ insane and it's very complicated. >> I'm It's not complicated. It's sophisticated. >> Because it's not like someone is like, you know, like Ocean's 11, they stick their hand in your pocket and they pull it out. It'll be like a a pregnant lady with a stroller bumps into you and they're oh shoot, I'm so sorry. And then
4:13 someone else from behind you pulls your stuff. And then I have a friend who was uh his own personal experience, I forgot if he was in France or Italy. He had his backpacking through Europe. He had his backpack between his legs at a cafe drinking coffee and then by the time he was done, the backpack's gone. The whole backpack. >> Between his legs? >> Between his legs. >> Dude, Mike was I think he was like in Spain a long time ago or something like that. He's checking into a hotel. He's got his black backpack. He puts it down. He checks in the hotel. Picks up the backpack. He goes back to his room. It takes a minute. Eventually he opens up his backpack. There's all trash in it. It's just trash. Right. He looks like, what the ████ All stuff in there. And he pays attention. He's like, that's not even my backpack. >> He got switched? >> Yo. >> ████ >> Wow, that's >> So they swapped >> laptop. He had his teaching money in there. >> Oh my god.
5:03 >> Oh, flat. They came up. >> Sophisticated. >> Do you think the locals don't do it like my theory is that the locals in a lot of these places, just like America, are afraid of racial conflict. >> I actually assume, well, that's deep, too. >> I have a more surface level one before that. >> If it's like locals, then like what if you like in the earlier part of the video, for context too, they're like like who's your boss? Cuz like it's not you, like who's your boss? If that's like an actual gang network, we're not talking about just like petty theft, taking something and now I have your one thing. If it's a report to like a handler later and like everybody drop your stuff, it's a network and the local person is like doing something and there's this like gang affiliated thing that comes from there, then like you're just in danger. You're putting yourself in danger if they're stealing mainly from tourists. I I I could assume that like people that live in these areas are
5:54 like not my problem type ████ >> Yeah, though my my more surface level one is I think tourists have a specific look. And so the the locals might not even be their targets. Yeah, cuz they're like I'll I'll target that guy cuz that guy's going to come in and out of my country and he looks like a tourist. >> carrying all of his stuff with him. >> Yeah. >> And then locals don't they don't go to these places. These are tourist places and like locals know what the ████ pickpocketers look like. >> But the fact that the locals will look like tourists everywhere, too. >> But it's isn't it weird that like the locals are there at these situations and they just kind of like feign ignorance? >> But I just think Europeans are less violent. Like there's hell of videos of white American Karens pulling a ████ pickpocketer's hair and then being like, "Give me back my s███." I just think in general
6:46 Americans are a little bit more aggressive. Like dude, when we had a pickpocketer come to New York, they died. There was that whole news about like they they came and tried to steal some ████ and then like their their family was looking for them and then they're like they found them dead in like a street. So I'm like, "Yeah, I could see that." Like people do crazier ████ in the states and kill for much less. >> It's just so weird because they're so obviously outnumbered. Like pickpocketers. Yeah, like in a in a town square or city square in like any of these countries. It's not like most of them are pickpocketers. So you would you would think just as like people >> intervening, like when these pickpocketer groups are there, they'll actually stop try to stop, but they try to stop all violence. Like I see them even protecting the pickpocketers. >> Yeah. They just don't fight. Don't fight. >> Oh, that's the perp? ████ that guy. >> Yeah.
7:37 >> Like I've seen like Karens European Karens where like they're they're trying to catch somebody that's legitimately pickpocketing and they're stopping as like the shield. >> My theory is that in because I know UK has this thing, like if I'm in the UK, right, and I'm a local, and I'm getting something pickpocketed from me, that's theft, right? If I want to escalate this and become violent against the pickpocketer, now the crime of me being violent to them takes precedence over the theft. And if the cop arrives, I'm getting arrested. >> Mhm. >> And I feel like in a lot of places they know that. They know that oh, if it's a display of violence, they're the aggressor, and it won't end well for them. Maybe they have a job they have to think about. They have like, you know, like status. Yeah, and maybe it's like one of those things where perhaps that's the reason why there's such a passive
8:28 like a pacifist nature of it. >> Mhm. >> Of like, oh, I don't want to escalate it to fighting. Whereas like Americans are like, no, we're escalating it to fighting cuz I need my ████ back kind of >> Well, I think in America, um, you get praised. >> Yeah. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Just like, hey, you defended yourself. And then I've heard this a lot from Europeans where they're like, it's not worth a life. So I'm like, I think the way they see it is like it's not worth, you know, taking a life for property. And I'm like, no, it's not worth risking your life to take my property. That's more American is like, you're going to risk your life to ████ with me? But then over there it's like, you shouldn't risk your life to get your property back. >> Yeah. >> You know what? I randomly also feel when I think about myself in these situations, too. I feel like if I got like mugged out here or like just in California, Nevada, or something like that, I feel like, yo, it's not worth my life,
9:19 for sure. Like, take my bag. But if I'm getting like pickpocketed, like like let's say a bag or something when I'm in Europe, >> That is your life. >> I feel like, yeah, that's every like my if my passport's in there, I'm like, I need to go get that like there you know, like my mind is so maybe terribly logical. That's like everything. I need that right now. That's everything I have on me. Uh, I need to go figure this out. And I also maybe assume that there's just less guns in most of the European places. So like going after them feels like I'm going after a person. Whereas like I don't I I really just don't want to die. Like it's so material here. You know, so I assume as an American as like this very privileged American, I assume that when I'm going over there like yo, I'm going to I have to figure this out. >> Maybe they don't see robbery as a bigger offense than we do.
10:09 Like someone taking your property. Like we get angry, and just like And then like we'll like strangers will help you apprehend and beat the ████ out of someone. It's like it's like offensive. So maybe for Europeans, it's not that big of a deal. You know what I mean? Like it's just it's a different I think it's a different mentality. >> more cucked over by that. >> Yeah. I don't Yeah, it's so strange. >> steal from themselves or was it just tourists? >> Well, here's another thing that I've seen that's that that I like So like a lot of American tourists will scream and like kick out the ████ annoying panhandlers. Well, like they're trying to sell ████ right? Like there's all these videos of Americans being like get the ████ out of here. I'm trying to enjoy my ████ lunch, right? Like I don't really see Europeans like they just let them exist. And then I'm just like that's so weird
11:01 cuz in America >> Huh? I think they've got to have a stigma there that we don't to treat them that way. >> Like they don't want to be seen as Because here's the thing, I think it makes a big difference when the offenders are a different race than you. I think it's a little more touchy. >> But Americans do it. Like they do it in America. Right? So I mean, but like race relations in like Europe is a lot different. Like they're really really trying hard to not look like Americans. >> [laughter] >> Punching down or something. It's like a weird I don't know. They're way more sensitive about that ████ >> Yeah, I don't know. Maybe >> more ████ >> No, I just think we take control of our community. Or like we feel a responsibility to ████ keep it safe. Like if if like I was if we were eating at a restaurant like in outside, right? And then there's other families there.
11:51 I'm pretty sure if some ████ kind of went down, all the men would be like, "Are you going in? You going in?" Or like there's like a there's trouble. It's like, "This is my neighborhood. Like what the ████ are you doing, right?" I don't see that in Europe in the same way. >> Yeah, it's more like individualized. Like, "Oh, ████ That lady's getting her ass beat." >> Yeah, like they don't do But in America, it's like, "Hey!" >> Hey, what's going on? >> "What are you doing?" >> Yeah, yeah. >> Yeah. >> It's like a weird thing where like you could just go a few cities over. Like here in North Vegas when there's a video of like Ross being looted, all the comments are like if you're like, "Oh, that's ████ up." Then everyone comes at you like, "Why? It's a big corporation. Who cares?" And then you go like down south 3 miles, everybody cares. You know what I mean? It's like so when you look at America as a monolith, it's so split up by like what the general income is of that area.
12:41 >> Yeah, it's probably like big city. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Like I I like for example in Liverpool, like I could see that it being more of a community where people do speak up, stand up, and like like protect each other. But in London, I I think everyone like if you see somebody getting hurt, you just walk by. It doesn't matter. So I think it's the same. >> It's also like how people see theft. There's some people that look at theft like, "Oh, it's your fault for making it easy to steal. So I'm going to take it." versus I don't want to be a thief. You know what I mean? [laughter] Like Some people are more like, "Oh, it's your fault for leaving that out leaving your package on the door." You know? Like it's crazy that that's You can't >> out? Of course I'm going to grab them. >> Yeah, you can't [laughter] argue with those people cuz they have a different idea of theft. >> Yeah, cuz like it's I would say a lot of people in California don't believe in shooting someone if they break in your house. >> Yeah, a lot of people don't. Yeah.
13:32 Yeah, accidentally walk into a lawn you get blasted. So, it's like yeah, that's that's true. It's a little different. >> Yeah, that's true. >> But good for these Filipinos, man. Putting it down for the Asians. Let's go. >> That's tight. He didn't even look like he would he could scrap that. Nah, he looks like a nerd. >> Came off. It was nice. >> Hey guys, if you join our Patreon, you can see this uncensored. Wa-pow! So, go check that out. Sorry it's blurred. YouTube rules.
