Well Cowboy ... mebbe you might wanna brush up on the actual Alabama law:
(emphasis mine)
Alabama Code Title 13A. Criminal Code SS 13A-3-27 | FindLaw
It wasn't deadly force. He lived, didn't he?
It wasn't deadly force. He lived, didn't he?
A car driven to intentionally hit someone is just as deadly as trying to shoot them with a gun isn't it?
Cops do this stuff all the time.
Here is the underlying animosity to the actions of the thief and the reason many members here have condoned the actions of the women.
We are "sick and tired" of the criminal justice system letting criminals go with a "slap on the wrist". We feel powerless when criminals are not punished by our failed criminal "justice" system. This all started over 50 years ago. As more and more liberal judges began being nominated and placed and elected into their positions.
In the old days a criminal who stole a woman's purse would have been run down and captured by a police officer would likely have been severely beaten during the arrest by the policeman's truncheon, thrown in jail and if found guilty been sentenced to a good stretch in prison. A purse snatcher at the time really offended our sensibilities, and Judges of the time reflected those feelings of the community. Case in point, both horse and cattle thieves were usually punished by hanging not that long ago.
Public hangings were the norm back in the day. We took crime seriously and punishment even more so. Then we got soft. We elected "progressives". They appointed like minded judges. We have made "progress". In some states even defending yourself in your own home from a criminal is an "iffy" proposition.. Not in my state, but many "progressive" states have made themselves a haven for criminals. Many have sanctuary cities, or threaten making the whole state a sanctuary state.
So when we see a pregnant woman in a car run down a thief, a lot of us silently cheer and wish that one of the tires had come to rest on his head. Many of us are very frustrated by our lack of justice in the justice system.
This bit of psychological wisdom is brought to you by "Judge James". (I was called that on another thread for trying to uphold a modicum of decency in the thread by the class clown.)
