Should our laws allow authorities to charge this woman?

[Billy_Kinetta]

You can't use deadly force to protect property . Only people .

Wrong answer, in TX you can shoot someone in the back, at night, if they are running away with your property.

Alas, we cannot here in Virginia.

 

[Darkwind]

Revenge isn't legal. She seems to be outraged that he broke the law but she wants no consequences when she broke the law.

She attempted to kill him and I would guess she'll get 3-5 years in prison minimum or more. It's the same if she had a gun in her purse and chased the guy down and shot him in the back. Angry revenge is not legal. If he attacks her and she pulls out a gun and kills him, self defense and case closed. If she pulls out the gun and he immediately runs and she chases him and shoots him in the back, attempted murder and if he dies 2nd degree murder.

People get this weird idea that if they are wronged and angry about it they have cart blanche to then do whatever they like.

Don't like the law, change it.

It is interesting that these are the same people who think (Like I do) that those who are upset about losing an election can't use an emotional response to attack others who have wronged them, but sanction this kind of nonsense.

Its wrong for the snowflakes to commit crimes when they think they've been wronged, its wrong for this woman to commit a crime when she thin

Sure. A castle doctrine states that you do not have a duty to retreat in the face of harm or property. She was in the right to protect property when she gave initial chase. Who wouldn't?

When she could not catch she then had a duty to call the authorities. Castle doctrine does not mean you can go down the street, around the corner, into the neighborhood bar and shoot the guy/girl.

The moment she chose to get in her care, she made a concious choice not to recover her property, but to do harm to the perp. She was no longer in fear of bodily harm and therefore had no right to escalate the conflict.

Citizen's Arrest!
A private person may stop and detain another person when the private person has probable cause to believe that the other person has committed in his presence a (1) felony, (2) a breach of the peace, (3) a crime involving physical injury to another person, or (4) a crime involving theft or destruction of property.

By using deadly force? I'd like to see that code.

was it deadly

The use of the vehicle constitutes an attack with a deadly weapon.


Look. You people asked how we would rule. This is how I would rule. I'm not interested in the semantic word games. Wait for the trail and lets see what happens.

wait a minute we hear all the time from you lefties

that a car isnt a weapon

now it is

--LOL

i take that back it is off topic

North Carolina law says she has a right to detain a fleeing felon

and that she has a right to use reasonable force to do so

like i said before it will be up to the courts to decide if it was reasonable

or excessive

Wow, I'm not a lefty. Have never been such. I have a posting record to prove it. Her use of a vehicle, in My opinion, constituted premeditated assault.

He was running away, posed no immediate threat, guilty. Of course that is dependent on the pertinent laws of the state...

Seriously, does what he did warrant death? Because she could have easily killed the little shit stain. He definitely deserves a serious beat down, but not with the front bumper of an SUV...

posed no immediate threat,

of course he did

he posed a threat to her income

and perhaps credit

plus other things

she stopped it

For all we know (and all that the piece of subhuman filth who robbed her knew), she may have even has some serious medical condition, for which she required medicine or equipment that was in her stolen purse, and without which her life might have been in danger.

quite possible

 

[Darkwind]

The moment she gave up the foot race and went for a car, she proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was no longer in fear for her safety. It then became a premeditated attack on the guy who robbed her and she did so with a deadly weapon.

A pierce of subhuman filth who doesn't want to be attacked by a victim, needs to keep his filthy paws off of other people's stuff.

What does that have to do with the law?

Laws are written in specific ways. If you don't like the fact that you cannot, after the threat to you is passed, go out and kill someone, change the law.

 

[Timmy]

You know, Muslim (shiara law) countries allow deadly force like this . Righties are so like them. The irony .

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Revenge isn't legal. She seems to be outraged that he broke the law but she wants no consequences when she broke the law.

As long as a piece of subhuman filth is in possession of something that he has stolen, it is not “revenge” when the rightful owner of that thing attempts to take it back, no matter how much force is involved.

This scumbag should have kept his hands off of stuff that isn't his. I have not the slightest bit of sympathy for him. I hope the woman goes free, and I hope the filthy thief is crippled for life, and rendered physically incapable of ever robbing anyone else ever again.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- When Christine Braswell found a man breaking into her SUV in a Walmart parking lot in North Carolina, she chased him. When the 26-year-old couldn't catch him, she jumped behind the wheel -- and what happened next is scary and disturbing to watch.

Editor's note: Video contains graphic content.

"She slammed on her brakes, crammed it in reverse, and ran over the median there in between and hit him in the back. I mean she, just he was running and she just flat hit him," said witness Janice Kelley.

Witnesses told WLOS the man who was hit was allegedly going through Braswell's belongings in her red-orange Ford Explorer.

"When I walked out of Walmart, he had her purse and was pulling all of her stuff out then me and my friend told him to put it down and what are you doing. She stopped and he ran off and then she came up behind him and hit him with her car," said witness Blake Bennett.

Asheville police told WLOS the man escaped with minor injuries. Police are charging Robert Raines with breaking and entering, larceny, and damage to property.

Braswell is facing an assault with a deadly weapon charge.

Pregnant woman runs over suspected purse thief in Walmart parking lot

Yes, it contains a video of the guy getting run over.

Now that Republicans have the power, perhaps it's time they write more laws for victims of crime. Much like they did with Concealed Carry laws in various states, law abiding citizens should have more rights than criminals.

This pregnant woman took off after a guy that robbed her of her purse. IMO, she had every right to stop him no matter how. Now she's being charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

If you were on a jury, how would you vote on this case, guilty or not guilty?

Common sense. Not guilty. Hope she crippled his ass up good.

She just bumped him. As others have noted, she chased but braked before hitting him. Only bumps and bruises. He'll be more hurt becoming someone's bitch in prison.

Wrong answer, in TX you can shoot someone in the back, at night, if they are running away with your property. I don't think you can run them down with a truck though. From what I saw he didn't have any of her property and it was daylight.


.

Her claim was that he still had her purse. Nothing in the story contradicts her claim.

 

[12icer]

Fact, the thief could have taken anything, She did not have time to know what, Fact, the thief ran away and she did not know what of hers he possessed. Fact, she was probably afraid of what he MAY HAVE taken, and she was trying to regain her property. If she had to kill him to get it back, SO BE IT. Liberals seem to not mind murdering children for economic convenience or on a whim because of sexually irresponsible actions, so why should it be different to retroactively abort someone who threatens your economic or physical well being? These pieces of shit have been known to steal house keys, and rob homes while children were there. It is never a good idea to let a thief get away no matter what you have to do if you can stop them. They take their OWN lives in their hands when they rob you, IT IS AN AGGRAVATED ASSAULT to rob someone.

As for the leftist scum rioting, They were NOT wronged, THEY LOST THE GAME and hopefully the country FOREVER. that does not give them a reason, or a license to RIOT.

You might consider reading up on the legal meaning of "premeditated".

 

[Muhammed]

Would it had been okay for some to run after the perp and tackle him? The lady simply used her car to tackle him.

Exactly. If she wanted to kill him or cause great bodily injury she could have just kept running him over again and again until he was a pancake.

He would have gotten away.....but may have visited her late that night, raped her then slit her throat to shut her up.

How do you know he took anything, I didn't see anything in his hands when he was running. All you're doing is speculating.

Which is the point I made. Our Republican representatives should change the law. If you are robbed, you should legally be allowed to stop your robber any way possible if caught in the act.

I held the LAST ones I caught at gunpoint with an AK 47 And I would have killed them both in a heartbeat without hesitation. Almost did!!!

Yes, but she didn't know what property of hers he might still have. Exigent circumstances would cover her decision on that matter IMO.

It wasn't night and she didn't have time to check if he actually got something. And it wasn't TX.

Yeah, but what would the police do ten, fifteen, thirty minutes after he ran away? They would instruct her to cancel all her credit cards, get a police report so she could take it to the pharmacy to get any prescriptions refilled, cancel her checking account, change the locks on her doors, and who knows what else. Some people don't have a bank account and keep all their cash on person. If that was the case with her purse, nobody would reimburse her for that.

Agreed. The court system will sort it out...but I hope the court of public opinion lets the DA know that she did the right thing in stopping him.

Pregnant woman runs over suspected purse thief in Walmart parking lot
When Braswell came out to her car, she said she confronted the man before she claims he took off with her purse.

"I came back out here and he was with my purse and took off and I took off after him. Me being five months pregnant, I chased a little ways then come back, jumped in the car, threw it in gear and came across the curb and ran him over. I was not going to let him get away with it. It's not right it's not fair," said Braswell.

Of course, those on the left wrong will not agree, because whether they admit it or not, they are on the side of criminal filth, and against that of law-abiding citizens. Of course they will be more concerned with the rights of a criminal, than those of the person that that criminal has victimized. That's just how LIbErals are.
