Jail her, or give her a medal?

[El Barto]

Woman arrested after killing bag snatcher

[ThaSaltCracka]

jail her, this goes way beyond self defense.

[ddollevoet]

Somewhere in the middle.

Take her statement and let her go home.

[ThaSaltCracka]

this seems to me to be manslaughter, lawyers, how wrong am I?

[elwoodblues]

The facts aren't all out there, but if she purposely did it she deserves jail. Absent an EXTRAORDINARY circumstance, the contents of a purse just aren't worth killing or being killed over.

[ThaSaltCracka]

yeah I agree, the article is lacking some content.

[El Barto]

The content likely missing is that the theif seems to be part of a theft ring involving many. The final paragraph of article suggests this:
[ QUOTE ]
The second youth escaped the scene and is being sought by police. But two males aged 15 and 16 were arrested later that night after being linked to the scooter used in the theft. The youths are suspected of being involved in other thefts that have taken place in the district in recent weeks.

Should not these other guys in the theft ring be responsible for the death. Conducting thefts in traffic is practically asking for trafic accidents to happen. If a death occurs in the commiting of a crime, all the criminals in the ring should be held responsible for it.

You guys are really missing what this article really is about...Morrocans, Dutch, crime, failure to assimilate,........mutual antagonism between the immigrant community and the native Dutch communities...Europes is big big big trouble.
