If he had been carrying a baby and she was saying stop he took my baby then yes. If he was carrying her pocket book then probably not because material things can be replaced and who would know if he was armed. And if it's just one person chasing the other yelling accusations then you really don't know what to believe, do you? She could have been nuts as far as we know at first glance. Several times during my life in the city a complete stranger came up to me on a subway and started talking to me or getting angry with me like I was someone they knew and had a beef with. If one had pointed at me and yelled to get me I would like to believe the general audience around would be appropriately confused enough to not automatically take the stranger's word for it and then attack me.

The baby is a good point and would be an exception, the material things as you stated, can be replaced. I've been in a convenience store on 2 occasions where someone walked out with beer without paying. The first was a big tall fellow who had 2 12 packs saying "don't nobody try to stop me" as he was exiting. The other was a male and female team who stole twelve packs each. The clerk hopped the counter and confronted them. The male thief turned to fight him while the girl took off running with the beer. She slipped on a puddle of water and fell flat on her face and the beer cans scattered all over the place. The guy got his butt kicked by the clerk and ended up empty handed as he ran off. I would say justice was served. Side: No
Agreed. I like when thugs get clobbered. Of course it turns out both ways though. Some years back there was a story in my city of a bystander who was a big burly athlete who tried to intercede to stop a little weasel criminal running by and he took one small knife jab to the wrong place and died. Being a big strong bad @ss just doesn't mean pursuits and fights are going to turn out the way a betting person might think. Anything can happen in a fight. Side: Yes
