Hustle comes in many different forms. Some people just start evil companies in their garage.

Today in neighboring Belgium, in the city of Brussels, four people armed with machetes did hurt and kidnap a person in play daylight and put them in the trunk of their car. Thankfully police noticed something odd and a car chase, complete with helicopter, ensued.
When I was a kid in Brussels, there weren't people from the fourth world armed with machetes kidnapping people in broad daylight.
Would you qualify hurting a person (he's fine but he got hurt), kidnapping him as just a "hustle"?
Where do you draw the line? At which point do honest citizens have the right to live without fearing being kidnapped by fourth-world'ers armed with machetes?

Nope. Only nonviolent crimes. Anyways I was just trying to draw a parallel to corporations doing harm.

You're about as off topic as it gets.

What kind of comments did you expect other than the one that was borderline racist with plausible deniability? What's a good conversation in this thread?

Impressive. Has anything else changed in Brussels between your youth and now?

Could you clarify your usage of “fourth world” - other than as a derogatory term to refer to those you consider lower than the already quite unfortunate “third world” term?
We should ask the people shooting at each other with AK47 in Anderlecht to go after the people with machetes.

This looks likes someone who got inspired too much by Grand Theft Auto.

This reads like a scene from a video game or a funny movie. It is surprising that the suspect was bold enough to double back and take the car. At least they managed to catch him eventually.
