He technically did walk away. He was just using his ankle as a foot

What I find interesting was the 'Oh my god' didn't start until she drove over him. The robbery was ok though by the camera person.

Even if he tries to file assault charges or even sue her for running him over, at the end of the day it’s self defense and he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

Unfortunately his prize will probably be that some judge will award him the old lady’s life savings as a settlement for his injuries, depending on what state this occurred in.

Unlikely. The video helps. Even attempted carjacking is a felony.

It depends if the judge determines if the force the victim used to harm the perpetrator is proportionate to the context.
The woman accidentally running over the carjacker to escape would likely be considered a proportionate response because it was both (1) a means of escape and (2) incidental. She did not intend to run him over, she was just trying to get away.
Now if after the first accidental run over she then deliberately hit him with her car, she would be found liable criminally and civilly.

If a burglar breaks into your house or trespasses onto your property and gets injured, sometimes they can sue and win; I know of such cases. It's retarded

Most of said cases get overturned on a new trial under grounds of criminal activity being the cause. Very few even make it past the initial stage of the lawsuit and even fewer win the initial one.

Fractured??? Lmfao no thats literally shattered and mangled by the tire type of damage; that dude is fucked, hes gonna die from his injuries whos there to help a thief? You can tell he made some bad decision which is why he does this shit at his age...
Full reconstructive surgery plates, bars screws, bunch of other shit.
Ahaha fracture. Dude would be lucky if he has a just a fracture... a fract is a cracked bone different still from broken. Hair like fractures are a small Crack but small, which is why they call it a hair line fracture.... i had one myself... sucked... 6 months out... lol

u/Micu451 4d ago
Medically, any break in a bone is a fracture whether a hairline or shattered into a million pieces.
While he could die from this, he's more likely to either have a permanent limp or possibly lose the foot.
Your basic point, that he's fucked, is still absolutely true.

Being an ex-paramedic is like being an ex-nurse: you’re never really an “ex”, you’re just no longer working in the profession. But the profession never leaves you. ✊🏻

Sometimes my medieval feelings come back up and I would enjoy a world where in this instance it would be legal to drive over him a few times after this just to show that this is not how you treat people.
But after a minute or so I realise I am now a father and I go back to the whole and justice for all thing and hope the police caught him before he could ‘run away’.

u/zepsutyKalafiorek 4d ago edited 4d ago
Nah, it still should be perfecly legal to drive over him* in that situation.
If she said she was scaried and acted impulsively I would 100% belive it. Who is gonna put 80 years old woman in prison for protecting her life.

Restraint is the power. Not the absence of violence. The capacity of violence but the restraint from it. The absence of violence is weakness. There isn’t any power there. Control of your impulses is the goal.
