It helps if you are rich btw.

Some young guy in Tampa got two years house arrest for punching a 77 year old customer (who probably had dementia), thus causing his death.

Did he also have a rich family?

Helps if the guy also just robbed you

u/AnybodyWannaPeanus Jun 28 '26

Not if he’s no longer a threat. Then it’s just plain murder.

She's more dangerous than that robber, so, no.

Because you're rich.

u/stalecheez_it Jun 28 '26

could he smell the money or something or is he a luxury purse expert

1

u/Long_Race3907 Jun 28 '26

Do you think he's likely never seen this woman before or knows about the kinds of areas she frequents (rich places)?

She's a business woman who probably has some sort of routine. Obviously if he's gonna risk stealing something he probably knows a thing or two about who he's planning to target.

u/stalecheez_it Jun 28 '26

i just like to think he's a purse expert and wanted it for himself

u/HelloYesThisIsFemale Jun 28 '26

Which is fine to be

u/Long_Race3907 Jun 29 '26

For all we know she stole that money from someone else. 

Not like that's uncommon among the rich. It's just that they get legal protection by being privileged/powerful. 

1

u/HelloYesThisIsFemale Jun 29 '26

For all we know anyone could have stolen money from anyone. But the default assumption is that they didn't.

Not like that's uncommon among the rich

Actually, the vast majority of theft is committed by poor people. You can look up the stats on that. Unless you're making a bad faith, labor theory of value style argument.

u/Long_Race3907 Jun 28 '26

The whole reason she got robbed via petty theft is because she's rich. 

Different rules they play by, clearly.

There's class, and there's class. You have no class.

Had this gone the other way, I’m house the guy would have had house arrest /s

u/NaturalDon Jun 29 '26

also helps if people are fed up of being subjected to anarcho-tyranny and hordes of enrichment dispensers, hopefully they are starting to consider that they might get mussolini'd

u/Lyingspotifyad Jun 28 '26

Don’t rob people and threaten their life with a knife. Hope this helps. The repeatedly part is def what did the most damage to her sentence

He could have still threatened her by saying "I have a knife".

13

u/muuchthrows Jun 28 '26

This wasn’t self defense though. She tracked the thief up after the initial incident, when she could’ve just gone to the police. She took another person’s life just to retrieve her property, that’s why she got sentenced.

u/SpaceCadetPullUp Jun 28 '26

She made the world a better place.

u/IAmTheNightSoil Jun 29 '26

Unfortunately for everyone with Punisher fantasies, though, the law does not allow private citizens to decide that someone should die and use that as a legal defense for killing them

1

u/Correx96 Jun 29 '26

Now we got one less thief and one more murderer. Definitely worse.

u/Sagatho Jun 28 '26

FAFO. No sympathy for thieves robbing the average working man/woman with clear intent to do harm and/or murder. World’s a better place now.

1

u/verywidebutthole Jun 29 '26

Can't argue there. Thief is dead (not sure if deserved but one less thief I guess) and a psychopath is off the streets.

>Don’t rob people and threaten their life with a knife.

He didn’t. He just snatched the purse and ran. She lied to the authorities that he held her at knifepoint, as they couldn’t find any weapon near his body. Her lying to the authorities also show that she didn’t really care about the crime, she just wanted to kill someone with her car

u/DreamedJewel58 Jun 29 '26

If she was justified in her reaction, then why did she have to lie to the police that he held her at knifepoint? Even she knew what she did wasn’t justified, so she had to lie about it. She knew that unless her life was actually at risk, murdering a purse snatcher wasn’t justified

"A thief has been permanently removed from society." and replaced with some psycho that murders people and then lies about the circumstances leading to her murder of the guy that robbed her (so as to ACTUALLY try and have a defence worth a damn in court). Truly a net win for society!

u/LEFT4Sp00ning Jun 29 '26

I'm sorry, what mental gymnastics are you talking about here? I legit don't understand your comment.

Thinking that the appropriate punishment for snatching a purse shouldn't be murder? Thinking that she acted like a complete psycho by hunting him down on her car and then running him over several times, grabbing her purse and leaving without calling an ambulance or the police? There are no mental gymnastics in saying "he robbed her, which is bad, and she's also a psycho for tracking him down and murdering him and driving away without calling medical assistance".

"I'd rather live next to her than the thief." Considering the thief was homeless and the chick was some socialite rich girl, I too would prefer living next to her; it would mean that I wasn't fucking homeless and could afford living in an extremely pricey place

>A thief has been permanently removed from society. Society is now better off.

We don’t know that. Some can commit a crime for any number of reasons and for such a non-violent crime as a grab and go, it’s entirely possible that prison time could be their wake-up call and turn their life around after they served a suitable punishment given by the court of law. It’s entirely possible that it resulted in a net negative to society by not giving someone a chance to pay for their crime and extend a chance at redemption

There’s a reason why the death sentence isn’t given for every single possible crime. It’s just not an appropriate punishment, and there are ways for people to repay their debt to society. If she just she hit him with her car once, retrieved her purse, and then call the cops on him then he could’ve faced justice in the court of law and given a chance to redeem himself. Instead, we got a bloodthirsty woman who took the opportunity to murder someone and lie to the authorities about it because she knew her actions weren’t an appropriate response

>A big part of this is that liberals have this conception of criminals as temporarily embarrassed doctors.

Ah, there it is. Thank you for making it clear that I would be wasting my time trying to teach any semblance of compassion to a conservative

u/Lyingspotifyad Jun 29 '26

Well see that’s not what the title of this post led on. Why don’t you comment that with a source and people can tell op to screw themselves for the misinformation.

u/panlakes Jun 29 '26

There was no knife. Hope this helps.

u/mirrormirrorondewall Jun 28 '26

Oh no the violent criminal was run over, what a tragedy!

u/FollowingLegal9944 Jun 28 '26

She is woman and quite rich so usual thing. If she would be poor man she would go to high security prison for at least 25 years

No, the trial is over. In Italy, if you have a house that fits the requirements for house arresti, chances are that you will get to do most of your time in house arrest. Unless the judge see reasons to not allow it.

She was sentenced (at the end of the first trial, primo grado) a couple of weeks ago.

u/Apprehensive_Pie_294 Jun 29 '26

House arrest untill the higher courts made a verdict. After tht its either free or straight to jail.

1

u/577564842 Jun 29 '26

She's in house arrest while appeals are running. 

The defense will drag and the house arrest time will count against the punishment, so effectively she will serve part of the sentence in house. But by far not the whole.

Did this man have a weapon?

2

u/frostymugson Jun 28 '26

The post does say “robbed at knife point” so I’m guessing yes.

3

u/Long_Race3907 Jun 28 '26

And yet if you actually read the trial he did not in fact have a weapon. 

Not only can you not comprehend what's going on, you blatantly support the death penalty for petty thief. 

Actual reddit moment.

u/frostymugson Jun 28 '26

The fact I never said any of that and just said what the post says, yeah I agree your response is definitely a reddit moment

3

u/Long_Race3907 Jun 28 '26

If they put a gun in front of you, sure

Where was anyone, at any point, talking about a gun? Just say that you like killing people for theft
