I agree! Oh, and with that many people, you can be sure that unless he actually started taking down people with a gun, they probably still would have jumped him.

After watching the video (took forever for me to load) I can followup with this:
1) Never leave the vehicle!
2) Get away from a dangerous situation. I'm sure the poor fella wishes he had his jaw and collar bone unbroken. The cost of a 2-way radio is virtually nothing compared to your health, and certainly nothing compared to your life.
3) Don't sass back. Keep moving. This guy may have felt a little "safe" being in a position of some authority. Try telling that to a cop. They approach every pulled over car as if their life depended on being aware and safe. Just watch some of those hair-raising police car videos to see what I mean.

The guy saw them coming, had a chance to leave. Even if he felt safe, as soon as he saw them stealing the radio, he should have left the area while calling for security/backup. He got out of the cart and it's fairly obvious he "had words" with the assailants. From the video, who knows... but it looks like something inflamatory was said. All of them looked like punk wanna-be gang bangers. I'm thinking he's REALLY lucky he didn't get shot over his radio.

Even so, they should round up every one of them and put them to back breaking labor for a few years. Of course, in our prison system, criminals hone their craft in the joint, so that's probably not a great option. LVPD is pretty notorious for not putting up with this sort of thing, and someone will give them up eventually. LV protects its PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. like no other city I've been to. Without tourism, LV is a hole in the ground. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
