Keys weren't in purse?
You'd make a bad detective if that made you "smell BS"

I wouldn't care if she pulled an AR15 out of the back seat and smoked him across the parking lot

If I was on the jury they would not walk out of court. They would dance down the aisle like the old dancers on Soul Train to "Burn Rubber on Me" by The Gap Band.

Again, process vs results...

Maybe if jury selection was a random process and not a stackable one. Otherwise, LOL.

Both of them need to be locked up

Honestly, I don't care what you think of me. I have no problem with her defending herself when she was in danger. That was no longer the case, and a vehicle is obviously a deadly weapon. This isn't the inside of her house, it's in a damn public parking lot.

What if it was YOUR pregnant wife?

And at some point after all this dies down, we would probably have a serious conversation with her to let her know she's pregnant and shouldn't be running after criminals and thus putting our baby in danger over a stupid purse.
Now since I answered, let me ask you. What if it was your child that some car whizzed by nearly hitting and killing them and eventually jumped a curb all in the name of catching a thief who no longer posed a threat from stealing a purse? How would you feel about that?

If doesn't matter. She did not hit a kid. A thief began a chain of events in which he was hit by a car due to his own actions. He felt the law was his accomplice by protecting him from retribution. It did not work out that way.
He probably got less than he deserved.

There was no mention of a kid being around. Your point is moot.

If it was my pregnant wife I'd be irritated as hell she put our kid at risk over something as idiotic as this.

If you can't understand that, we don't need to have this conversation.
You're literally saying it would not matter if she shot at him with a gun with bullets going between a crowd of people because "it didn't hit anyone"
That's ridiculous.

Is THAT your argument?

Definitely but you can't do that without catching a charge and running the risk of being convicted.

My point is we could "what if" all day. In this particular situation, I see no prob with what she did.

quote:Becuase she got lucky that her reckless actions didn't injure any innocent people. I'm glad everything worked out, and the criminal was the only one hit by the car, that is fantastic.

Do you honestly think that laws should be made up based on whether anyone was injured or not? That's utterly absurd thinking, and I'm sure you know that it is.
And by the way, you should play the "what if" game in situations like this, obviously.

Like, no issues at all with endangering your unborn child? Really?

While seeing her run that frick over was very satisfying.
Running over the perp with her car is assault with a deadly weapon. She would have been better off shooting him when the conflict started not running him over when he was across the parking lot.
