I helped to chase a purse snatcher today
I helped

On the one hand, it is good that no one got hurt and it was sad the BG got away. On the other hand, I remember when Arizona was considering issuing CCW permits that a number of chiefs of police were making statements to the press that people would be driving around, looking for purse snatchers to blow away. As we all know now, nothing like that developed, crime was reduced by a dramatic amount, and comparatively few permits were revoked for cause. I salute you, Toreksha, but next time, follow at a safe distance in a vehicle, giving your direction and speed,and description of the BG's vehicle to 911 Dispatch. It has been my experience that if a car is stolen, the BG is not going to lock it at the mall, they don't care if it gets vandalized or stolen, they will just steal another one. Good work on your part of realizing that most of the time, just being a good witness is the best way you can help law enforcement.
 
You did good. it was very brave of you just to even do what you did. If all americans were good citizens like you we would all be better off and live in a much better world
 
Good catch! Nice to see someone like that get what's coming to them.

I heard a while back about a judge who aggressively asks suspects in his courtroom *why* they committed a crime, and demands an answer better than "I dunno" or a passive shrug. The idea is to force them to admit their responsibility in their own words. It's too often the case these days that suspects just sit there, while the court proceedings are more of an exercise in paperwork and the filings of motions, rather than any kind of finding of guilt on the part of the criminal. Their own families tend to be "supportive" and never force them to take responsibility. They're rarely confronted by their victims. They can afford to act like they're just going through a series of motions that have no connection to the wrongdoing that they committed.
 

This also would have been a good way to handle it, but, I still think that he handled it well the way he did.
