Interview: Coco Zhao, from jazz to M. Butterfly
Two weeks ago, we told you about this unlucky pickpocket in Fuzhou that got beaten up in a bus, this time it's a robber in a bakery. The video on the right shows a young man in Fuzhou entering a confectionary, pretending to buy something, then crossing over to the other side where he beat the hell out of the poor girl manning the counter before running off with the cash in the till. Needless to say, all that got caught on the closed-circuit television and the young man was caught in no time. Really, if it takes more surveillance cameras to keep the streets safer for us all, then Shanghaiist is inclined to agree with this commenter and say, bring it on Big Brother!

Right, in fact I can't think of anybody I'd rather see have massive video monitoring systems than the wonderful government of the PRC.
What a weak little bastard. I would love to spend 5 minutes alone in a room with that girl beating prick.
He would better stay away far, far away from me, that bastard.
Of course the people-fearing communists can abuse this to get acceptance for even more supervision of the people, but for the benefit of doubt I would still assume that the prime objective of police is to keep the lid on an ever increasing crime rate.
wasn't it england that has the highest cctv per inmat...i mean, citizen, rate in the world?
Damn prick should be shot and have his organs removed.
