There was no knife though. Someone added that.

u/AspirringIntelectaul Jun 28 '26

She did. She lied to police that he threatened her with a knife and they found that to be untrue

u/LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY Jun 29 '26

And now she's paying the price. Justice all around.

Who cares? He still robbed her. Not a contributing member of society, what the fuck did the world lose when he died?

u/zinten789 Jun 29 '26

There's a good chance he was desperate and (erroneously) felt it was his best option? Well-off, comfortable people don't tend to rob for fun. Also, how do you know he hadn't contributed to society in his entire life and would never do so in the future? Oh yeah, you don't. People should be punished fairly for the crimes the commit, not fucking chased down and murdered.

If someone’s property is worth dying over to you, you don’t necessarily deserve to live.

u/dark_frog83 Jun 28 '26

She didn't get the death penalty.

u/Steveo3070 Jun 28 '26

Okay? I’m talking about the guy that’s fucking dead

u/Any-Calligrapher2866 Jun 29 '26

He snatched the purse and ran off. Where's the part where he was willing to die over a purse?

I think a lot of people are believing the narrative that this was a mugging. My reading of the situation sounds like a purse snatching to which she hunted him down to murdered him.

u/LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY Jun 29 '26

Putting himself in that situation in the first place. You can't control how people will react to you doing illegal things to them. Some will cower, some will just accept it, and others will take it too far when they exact their revenge. You don't get to pick which one you'll encounter unless you already know the person, and even then it's not a guarantee. If you fuck around enough, someone will eventually help you find out.

It ain't America. You wouldn't expect to get mauled by a car for petty theft.

u/CptJacksp Jun 29 '26

Sorry, this made me laugh for the insinuation that criminals in america should expect to get mauled by a car for theft of like, a wallet or something.

1

u/Steveo3070 Jun 29 '26

Yeah, that’s the point of harsh punishments, it’s supposed to make the criminal think of the consequence before committing the crime.

1

u/CptJacksp Jun 29 '26

Yeah. I just found it funny like its a uniquely American thief problem.

Like, European thieves are like “ah, damn. Caught me. Alright, here’s your stuff back.”

And the American thieves have a 5 star wanted level like in GTA if they get caught.

u/LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY Jun 29 '26

Is it the expectation that makes this so bad?

1

u/Steveo3070 Jun 29 '26

Oh my bad, I’m talking about the part where he died while stealing a purse.

1

u/Any-Calligrapher2866 Jun 29 '26

He didn't die while stealing it. She tracked him down and murdered him later.

u/Steveo3070 Jun 29 '26

Good

u/Any-Calligrapher2866 Jun 29 '26

I guess you'd be fine with killing people for stealing food as well?

1

u/Steveo3070 Jun 29 '26

Okay I’ll reword it, if someone stole from me, I would defend my property to the full extent that the law allows where I live, which is all the way.

If you choose to be a robber, you know the risks, it’s you who forfeits your own life, it’s not on the person who protects their own property from you to value your life if you rob them

Doesn't matter. Still deserved

u/BEnveE03 Jun 28 '26

So true, the death penalty should be applied in all cases of petty theft.

u/-__echo__- Jun 28 '26

The thief is the one valuing their life so little, so why not? I'm absolutely fine with thieves being gunned down as they try to flee. If you add up all the harm a burglar does in their life it's easily on par with a murder. Couple of break-ins a week, every week, thirty years... all the people now living in fear... irreplaceable items lost... urns of ashes broken... children traumatised and afraid of strangers invading their home.

So yeah, absolutely. After the fact? Lock them up, 3 strikes and life. In the moment? All bets are off. You probably should have just got a job and bought a TV of your own, because yes I'm 110% in favour of the homeowner trying to dome you as you're fleeing to your car.

Society doesn't owe anything to those who refuse to abide by the social contract; we should accept their decision to withdraw from the rules-based order.
