Stop a Douchebag - Wanted!

Published on Apr 18, 2016
Some context: so we looked up this guy from the "most wanted list" in a police database, and it turned out that he indeed was a convicted criminal, but he actually committed a negligence homicide, and got only one year of probation because he had a young child at the time.

So basically, he's not a murderer on the loose, but just a wannabe gangster. Still, he has that unmistakable "air of the nineties" about him, characteristic of many Russian men of that time, and could easily turn out to be one of them.

"Stop a Douchebag" - is a Russian youth movement that attempts to enforce the traffic regulations in Russia.

From the description in the YouTube video in the OP.

And close to being attacked.

They do tend to pick places with lots of witnesses and they work in good sized groups. That has probably saved them!
