Based on the video, what makes you think the lady that came upon the scene actually saw the purse snatching? Looks to me like she came upon a woman laying in the parking lot. She could have just passed out or had a heart acttack. In those cases, why would you pull a gun and consider shooting someone?
It may different if you are speaking as if you were right there and saw the whole thing happen but it does not appear there was anyone there in that position.
I didn't see anything that makes me think drawing a gun would be justified. IF I would have seen the purse snatchin as it happened, I cannot say definitely what I would have done for sure but I do know, I hope I would have rendered aid and tried to get as much info as possible while pulling the lady out of the way of the vehicle.
my responses in this thread were based on the. Original posted question.So based on me being present and observing what was presented in the video ( not guessing what the 1st responder saw) I responded...NTEXChallengerCHL wrote:I'm curious if anyone would have pulled their weapon for this scenario had they been present.
I see a lady knocked down, suspect runs to the car, I run to the Vic, I see the suspect in the car start it up......yes that is a defensive situation that may require deadly force to stop the threat.
If others want to respond to the OP from a different perspective ( 1st responder saw nothing but lady on the ground) then of course a different response is just as valid as a proposed a suggested course of action.
