Thumbs down Okay guys? What's wrong with this?

So in Target I hear a woman yelling, "STOP THIEF!". I turn around, and I see a kid of about 8 running with some leather straps draggin behind him. Oh guess what that means? Yep - he's making off with the woman's purse.

She catches him and pulls it away, and the kid screams bloody murder, getting more attention. immediately there are people yelling AT THE WOMAN despite me and at least two other people saying "Hey! The kid was making off with her purse". I see no parents, but the kid is just sitting there smiling.

Sounds like somebody's learning to exploit people...

Sounds typical. Victims are all part of a social perception, anyway. Just because you've been victimized doesn't mean you've got the right to call for blood, especially not in our "civilized" society.

But then do what while we're waiting for the police to get here? Just let the kid keep running?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Break his legs first.

Wait, then he might just try to crawl away using his arms...

Well, there should be security somewhere around the premises, no?

There SHOULD be - but they aren't always awake.
