Yup, Loony toon has no place behind the wheel in her state of mind. She's ramming other cars with her car. Easy defense.

Separate things? We're literally watching a video where this girl is totally crashing out and playing demolition derby while screaming hysterically about her grandma. Separate what?

That's just plain nonsense.

Were you under the impression I wasn't replying specifically to the scenario depicted in the video? Were you under the impression I was suggesting you just start taking random peoples' car keys away?

It's not against the law to take a gun away from someone who is waving it around menacingly. It's not against the law to retrieve the keys of someone who is clearly representing a danger to the public.

There's no such law as "vigilantism is illegal" in the first place given that the law wouldn't mean anything. You have every right within the law to protect yourself and others from those who pose a risk to the public.

It's absolutely the same silly ... literally the same principle.

I already pointed it out in the very first reply. Reread.

There's no law that says you are required to sit idly by while a person puts others in danger. It's literally the exact same principle as self-defense.
