Oh good lord you're an absolute moron bringing up Rosa Parks as a response to what that guy wrote.

I would have instead referred to it being yelled at Jesus. He never would have gotten crucified if he just stayed in that desert.

You're right. My mistake. The parking lot of freakin' Wal-Mart is where you find our nation's best and brightest. Thanks for keeping me honest on this. In fact, I believe that there is a website called "People of Walmart" that is devoted to showcasing the various innovations and intellectual achievements that take place at Wal-Mart stores.

Pretty sure Jesus would have had a different take on trying to kill someone who stole from you.

No one who steals property from you owes their blood in return.

Mutilation/execution as punishment for theft is 3rd-world savagery.

Depends on how you're robbed. If it's a violent robbery where say you're punched in the face or beaten, I'd want to run over the scum too. Not saying it happened in this case

And as someone who worked retail security in a large department store and saw the same people stealing dozens of times, after continuous slaps on the wrists by the law, they should have been walking around with stumps as hands.

Just because someone steals your purse doesn't mean you can run over them with a vehicle. The only way that would be remotely justified would be is if the suspect was armed and the woman felt that his escape would present an imminent danger of death to others in the area. Good luck with that. Only cops can finagle that in a court of law, and even they don't do it all the time. Justification (of use of force) is a very tricky thing, whether you are making a split second decision to pull the trigger in her case run someone over, or if you are a judge/juror. She should be charged. Let a court decide if her actions were truly warranted.

+1

If everyone were just allowed to mete out whatever punishment they felt was due, that would be chaos.

Not for long though.

It's simple.

Adhere to the laws of the society you live in, or leave the society.

If you choose not to leave the society, then be prepared to deal with the consequences of breaking said society's laws whatever they may be.

Ok well she broke the law too that's what I'm saying. I don't feel bad for the crackhead in the slightest but that doesn't mean people should be allowed to respond that way, nor should they want to. Pretty big display of immaturity to act like that.

I can answer this. Took a course on it in college.

Police must get permission to pursue. They will usually not allow an officer to pursue a stop-sign runner through a school zone at 3pm, but will certainly allow the pursuit of a murder suspect.

Interestingly, they are almost never allowed to pursue crotch-rocket motorcycle/superbikes, because they can't catch them, anyway.

At least, that is the case in Mississippi. So, if the lady got permission from dispatch to pursue, she may be in the clear. I doubt that is the case.

Yes, citizen's arrests are a thing (check the laws in your jurisdiction). However, citizens usually have a lot less leeway over the use of deadly force to make an arrest.

You are absolutely incorrect. Please cite your source or kindly get bent.

i dont wanna run anyone over but if someone is running with my kid for example. youd better believe im goig after them. why is this diff? because of the stakes? if so that seems like a judgment call then vs a hard yes or no

It is different because you are defending someone from an existing physical threat rather than responding to a past threat. Someone who is running off with your stuff no longer presents a physical threat to you. Someone who is running off with your kids is in the act of threatening their safety.

That was part of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King's method of protest. You display your unhappiness with a law by protesting, but you also accept your punishment for breaking that law. King, Parks, and others in the 60s were perfectly fine with being arrested. I believe it is called civil disobedience. Today's SJWs and protesters could learn a lot from them.

"3rd world" has nothing to do with savagery. You are confusing words and worlds.

It's simple leave me alone no matter where I shop and we won't have any issues.

Bet he thinks twice about reaching into someone's car next time.
