Not only endangering herself and her baby, but others around her.
I see a purse flying in the air after the hit. 10 points.

I hope he gets serious injuries for his crime. I'm so sick of the petty and not-so-petty crime in my area.

I don't know what you're seeing. The cops say the purse was dropped before she gave chase on foot, and you can see the man running with nothing in his hands. There is a branch of a tree that is knocked off and flies through the air when he is hit - maybe that's what you're seeing?

I am so proud of her... That low life worthless person should have his fingers cut off, he should be burnt with lit cigarettes and his balls should be chopped off as well. Good for her, way to keep composed enough in a fast moving situation to have good aim with the car. Too bad he didn't die....


If we were talking about a young juvenile committing the robbery with the majority of their life still ahead maybe it's a different story but this guy is way old enough to have had enough time to get his life in order.. I don't care if he was stealing the purse to feed his family, he's a loser, like I said too bad he didn't die...

Exactly, simply the law of cause and effect here... She never would have ran over him with her car had he not tried to steal her purse..

Yeah she clearly had time to check his ID to make sure he was an adult before mowing him down.

Yes as her defendant I am assuming she had the quick accurate judgment to respond accordingly and have complete faith she would have not responded in the same manner had it been a young kid doing the same thing.... I think her mother instincts would have kicked in a little more then her fight or flight response causing her to have a tad bit more empathy and settling to just call the cops instead, but since this guy clearly is an older looking scum bag she felt no mercy

Motherly instincts? She is a meth user with a criminal past who, while pregnant, tried to chase down a criminal and then got in her car and mowed him down with no regard for her safety, the safety of her fetus or the safety of the other people in the area. I would argue she has no motherly instincts.

Okay, you got me there I guess when you put things into that context.....


People are using her past to scold her for her retaliation so this brings up a good question, had she been a white Christian women who wasn't a meth head would she have more leeway then to retaliate? The fact the people are brining her past into this means there is apparently a grey area.


If a sweet old grandma did this I don't think one person would object... There is obviously a bias at play here....

I would object to anyone reacting that way.
