So on my street in the past 48 hours, I have witnessed 2 robberies perpetuated by a motorcycle duo.
You know the modus operandi: Motorcycle slows down, guy on the back reaches over and grabs the purse. First time off an elderly lady neighbor, second time off a younger girl, motorcycle duo speed away.
Both incidents happened at around 2pm, on subsequent days.
They happen so quickly, that nobody can do anything to help...but it started me thinking...I walk down this street a lot. What would happen if I was on the street and this happened? Would I do something or just take it like a pendejo?
99% of the time, I would fall under the pendejo crowd. But I want to discuss the 1% of times that I was motivated to do something. What would be within my rights if 2 thieves were speeding away?
Would I go to jail if I:
a) shot them (with a legal weapon)?
b) shot them (with an illegal weapon)?
c) pushed them off the motorbike somehow and they were injured during the fall?
d) threw a brick at the drivers head causing an accident and injury?
e) rammed them with my car causing an accident and injury?
f) pepper sprayed them causing an accident and injury?
g) mentioned in passing that their mothers did unspeakable sexual acts in exchange for bus fare?
what are my rights? where would I be overstepping the law?
