AMSTERDAM — 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. The thieves then tried to escape, but the woman reversed her car to cut them off, colliding with the scooter.
After the collision, the car continued moving due to an "unknown" cause and the 19-year-old was wedged in between the car and a tree. He died at the scene. The woman was then taken to the local police station for questioning, but police suspect the death was a "tragic accident", news service NOS reported.
Police sealed the scene off on the Derde Oosterparkstraat, but a group of male youths tried to get to the victim and started yelling and screaming.
The scene of the man's death was close to where filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered, allegedly by a Moroccan man, on 2 November last year. But this time the victim was a Moroccan and residents have accused the woman of murder.
The youth's intensely upset father also arrived on the scene, but two residents and police managed to calm the crowd down before it escalated out of control. The father was taken to the police station and given counseling by a crisis team.
Investigations are now being conducted to determine whether the woman caused the accident intentionally, constituting a criminal offence. The woman was still being detained on Tuesday.
The second youth escaped the scene and is being sought by police. But two males aged 15 and 16 were arrested later that night after being linked to the scooter used in the theft. The youths are suspected of being involved in other thefts that have taken place in the district in recent weeks.
>I was totally confused by this statement until I realied that they are actually called the robber "the victim!"
Wow, Europe is like a whole 'nother country.<
Actually it sounds very familiar to me.
According to Babelfish, Derde is Dutch for Third.
Let's see, this Moroccan islamist is "carrying a purse", right? This could come under "cross-dressing", I guess, and what's the islamic punishment for that?
I guess we could modify that old saying about bringing a knife to a gunfight to cover the stupidity of bringing a "moped to a carfight". Hope this lady gets a prize.
Cowards are always angry when their "victims" fight back.
The 19 year is the thief who was victimized (turned to roadkill) because the 43 old female used her car to try and catch him.
"But this time the victim was a Moroccan"
No, the PERPETRATOR is Moroccan, you dumbasses!
Oh gads, its TROP, they'll show their wish for reconcilliations by burning a church or five and murdering some wicked infadels. Maybe this will be the final catalyst that will really get things going in Holland.
Maybe it should be renamed Oosterparksplatt.
If she gets sentenced to prison to appease the "Moroccans" it's goodbye Europe.
Actually, as a moraccan, he should be used to such things. Normally they cut off the right arm/hand, so you have to eat with the hand that you wipe your arse with. Oh and they don't have toilet paper.
This women was probably scared out her mind!!!Maybe these "immigrant" parents need to stop relying on their "immigrant" religious leaders to raise their kids.
He deserved what he got....you commit crime, you run the risk of getting hurt or killed. I hope she is not sent to jail.
--my favorite part is the scene in the subway where the thug slashes Bronson's newspaper with a switchblade--makes the point of "Don't go to a gunfight with a knife"---
> This woman should be given a parade...
Actually, she should be given a bodyguard. In keeping with your username... perhaps a troop of Varangian Guards.
The world didn't need that little moron.
The "Victum" should have remained in bed.
To the "Victum", Some days it just does not pay to get out of bed.
Instant Karma
How long have you been waiting to use that line?
There was no "try" about it. :^D
