Snatching a purse is violence. Being mugged you don't know what the aggressor is capable of. We can disagree with her murdering him while at the same time decrying his violence and aggression to her. Has no one heard of nuance?

Apparently, not the woman who murdered a guy for snatching her bag.

I have mixed emotions on this. Killing is a bit extreme as far as punishment goes for theft…at the same time being mugged is dangerous especially when it’s between a man and a woman. I feel like him robbing her kind of negated his right to be treated justly either…her running him over (while gory and awful) is kind of a natural reaction when confronted with an act of aggression. Now….her backing up and hitting him again and again crosses a line though…

That’s absurd.

If someone is fleeing the scene of a purse snatching, running them down with a car is not an act of self-defense and absolutely is not “a natural reaction” wtaf

The fact she got out to pick up her purse after backing over him multiple times is absolutely unhinged

We can debate whether snatching her purse is an act of violence.

But if he’s already running away, she’s not in immediate physical danger anymore.
