I have questions

There is a video at THIS LINK that shows the aftermath of a number of thieves trying to break into a guys property (home? car?). The thieves are uninjured… but they are seriously *cowed* by the cameraman, the owner of the property in question. He’s able to wander around and berate the thieves one by one… and not only do they not run off, they follow his orders which include stripping buck nekkid. It’s amusing to be sure. But there are some plot holes:

1) How does he command their obedience? Some possibilities:

1A) He’s well armed

1B) He has off-camera backup that is well armed

1C) The thieves didn’t know who they were robbing, and now know that he is, perhaps, some locally respected criminal leader. Gang activity is not to be discounted.

2) What happened next? Beyond the NSFW options, were the cops called? Did the interactions end with a series of gunshots? Were the thieves sent on their way sans wallets, phones, clothes, shoes? They seem to have been in possession of one of more cars. Presumably not after this encounter, though it’s reasonable to assume they stole those cars in the first place.

 

Note that one of the thieves was found to have an ankle monitor. This means that not only has he committed crimes before, he’d been arrested, tried, convicted and punished by the legal system… and wasn’t dissuaded from continuing criminality. One wonders if getting caught and humiliated by one of his intended victims might have a more salubrious effect on his future plans than getting arrested would. Given the propensity of so many local legal systems to simply decriminalize crime these days, having non-official responses to criminals might not be a bad thing.

 

As to the ankle monitor: cutting it off might have some captivating results for the guy who’s supposed to be wearing it.
