The thief was of Moroccan origin. And now the Moroccans are angry. Don't know why because the last time some one else was killed in the neighborhood there (Theo van Gogh) they celebrated it and said he deserved it for his comments on islam.

Police sealed the scene off on the Derde Oosterparkstraat. . .

Try saying that one three times fast! LOL

This woman should be given a parade, not a jail cell.

There was an old Charles Bronson movie, "Death Wish 46" or something like that. There was one scene in which a local thug stole a purse, like he had done several times before in the movie. Only this time, Bronson pulls out a large gun and drills him. Purse goes one way, his brains the other.

Now that's entertainment.

Victim??????? Fair is foul, and foul is fair...

The 19-year-old victim was riding on a moped with a friend when they stopped beside the woman's car and opened the door to steal her bag.

I was totally confused by this statement until I realized that they are actually calling the robber “the victim!”

Wow. Europe is like a whole 'nother country.

Eff the Moroccans and good for this lady! They didn't know she was a 'squash' player! I hope she is released forthwith!

[Red Badger]

She should have been driving a HUMMER........They would see the Hummer of our discontent.....

After the collision, the car continued moving due to an "unknown" cause

Ummm, the gearshift was still engaged?

Derde Oosterparkstraat. . .

Oosterparkstraat is East Park Street.... Derde I don't know.

Dutch is quite a guttural language!

Dutch Government: Nothing to see here...carry on...please go back to smoking hash and screwing whores and everything will be just fine...

They better get their stuff together over there or things will get worse..

Okay... now just to not show I'm a total idiot, I KNEW the thief was an arab as soon as I read the headline and dateline.  However...

 

Police in the east of Amsterdam detained a 43-year-old female motorist on Monday night after she killed a thief who stole her bag.

The 19-year-old victim was riding on a moped with a friend when they stopped beside the woman's car and opened the door to steal her bag.

Now, first the victim is clearly a 43 year old female, then she suddenly becomes a 19 year old?  And apparently a male too?  Who got pinned by the car, the victim or the thief?  This just makes no sense at all.  I guess the take away is next time in Holland (never) watch out for the arabs.

what do the "good" people of Amsterdam expect when their whole society is corrupt and immoral.....

what?....they think people zipped up on drugs and prostitution and practically any sexual perversion are going to be law-abiding?....

fat chance....

but, as to this particular incident.....you go girl!

I thought it was only in the U.S. that perps were called "victims." Guess I was wrong
