195 countries in 60 months…. kick that skinny thief in the nuts and sign me up ! :)
My heart did a little racing of its own watching that bit of Yikes!.
Hmm. Backpack or Death.
I don’t think he had the subtitles on in real life.

What a lucky douchebag, seriously, what did he think the guy wanted? A kiss on the cheek?
He seems to have thought that he wanted the bike at first and then his wallet.
That’s why I’ll never go to south America.
‘jock you tool, it can happen anywhere’
worst experience i had in south america was being taken off a bus in salvador brazil by cops, gun pointed at me head while being frisked down in front of machine gun laden troopers. they had a spate of bus robberies that summer – 04, and if you were found with a weapon while on a bus your were very heavily, and quite thoroughly screwed. nary a hassle from any of the ordinary folk – quite the opposite in fact.
Sounds like a trip to Newry on the Expressway bus in the early 90’s.
most south american accents are easier to understand..
Or the Strabane-Lifford border. Good times.
So at least we know what Luis Suarez did during his ban…
What the funk was in the backpack that it was worth risking getting shot over?
Apparently, the guy on the bike didn’t know at the time what the thief was saying to him
That’s not true. He played dumb as he thought he might get away with it. See reddit.
Thanks for the update.
My bro got held up at gunpoint while backpacking in South America. He didn’t hold onto his bag, but he did ask for, and get, his passport back.
That’s awful Messi thieving.
im hoping for the day the skinny git robs the wrong person
deserved to get shot, stupid posh basturd.
Was that some sort of of Mental Martial Art?
Will you not get shot by a criminal, if said criminal thinks you dont understand why a gun is being pointed at you?
fair play
As a native argentine I can tell you that they’re cycling where they shouldn’t. As in, there are places and places to go, and that was a bad choice. It always shocked us when tourists wanted to visit the fabelas or shanty towns so as to “experience” it. I know of only two reasons to “explore” them places: either you live there or are in desperate need of some dope. In either case, you’ve already made peace with god.
As for the above comments on how SA is a jungle, you muppets have no idea what you’re talking about. But I don’t think I wanna waste my time on ye clowns.
“above comments on how SA is a jungle”
Did you read those comments on a different website maybe?
General Tip – Give the man the gun the backpack when he asks for it; and thank him for taking it.
