Shocking moment Arsenal star Gabriel fights off masked thugs in horror baseball bat attack over £45k Mercedes

ARSENAL star Gabriel fought off a baseball bat-wielding robber who attempted to steal his car from his garage.

A pair of thieves followed the £27m centre-back and his friend home before demanding the footballer’s keys, phone and watch as he got out of his Mercedes...

...Shocking CCTV footage showed the hooded robber, Abderaham Muse, lunge at the Brazilian with the silver bat.

But the Arsenal star jabbed him in the face before wrestling and grabbing his hat until the robber managed to escape and ran away with his accomplice.

They sprinted past a third member of the gang, who had been making sure the electronic gates outside the home remained open...

part of what I don't get is, car thieves could steal a car that's parked, if that is the goal. This seems more a twarted full blown follow-home home invasion than a simple watch and car robbery.

What I got out the story is if one grabs a bad actor’s hat, he will run away.

I dont really know anything about Brazil on a personal level. I do watch a couple of self defense channels on occasion that has Brazilian footage of attacks from time to time. The videos lead one to believe that in Brazil anybody with anything nice enough to bother to steal also has a driveway gate and garage to secure the vehicle. These videos make it appear that attacks by small groups on owners arriving home and exiting vehicles is the common way to do it. Again though, I dont actually have any idea of the real statistics.

Not modern cars. You can’t hotwire them anymore.
The need the keys to take the vehicle.
That is what started carjacking.

You wanna know something about Brazil? Watch a few videos on the YouTube about Chute Box, and know that more than a few UFC champions have hailed from there. Oh, and one of the most memorable fighters out of Brazil is nicknamed “The Axe Murderer” 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻

What’s so “shocking” about this video?

I didn’t even see any blood.

Jabbed? Isn't that the British term for the vaccination? Maybe this was the perp afterwards:

Also it took forever to tell where this happened. I was thinking Brazil when it turned out to be North London.

well, to a ‘polite’ society still steeped in firm principles of social law and order, and the sanctity of private property and one’s own castle, following someone home other than to seranade them is shocking enough. Third-world ‘cultural differences’ of carrying a baseball bat, while a lookout buddy holds the security gate open for a getaway, is more ‘shocking’ still.

The entire point of bleeding heart ‘equity’ is for third-world mentalities to be grateful for the safety of first-world societies and settle in with similar values. Instead, we see explotation of western society’s openness by the continuing of the criminal behavioral patterns of third-world countries that, frankly, have reduced the median age in those countries to around 30, solely through violent attrition. The English have no desire to duplicate the disaster the USA has created with immigration, or end up like Ecuador or Brazil.

I knew a Latino who lives in Spain now and came from Brazil, from Rio, and their Favela’s put our hoods here in the US to shame, there is no comparison, they raise some tough people there.

Brazilian soccer players who play in Europe have to fortify their families in Brazil because gibsmedats will kidnap relatives and hold them for ransom; they know the players themselves are very wealthy.
