I would pull out my gun and shoot him in the leg. I don't want to kill him, just make it so he can't run any further.

Killersup would much rather just run up behind him and tackle him.then he would cut him >

How far away is this guy? If he's close enough that you can throw a chair at him, you could probably, just tackle him.

Why get in some fight with a guy over some random ladies purse?

I would do one of these things.

1. I would have called the police or a policeman / police car that was nearby. Perhaps i could get a little green paper... who knows?

However, if i was feeling brave, if my mom / dad wasn't there, and if i were in one of those italian courtyards where there are those tables...

2. I'd pick up one of the small latticework-style tables, run in fron of him, then, drop it behind me. If he wasn't too athletic, i would be fine, considering i'm not the greatest runner. Also, i lie to throw large, blunt objects. I just haven't done it very often... *sigh* the broken dreams...

I'm a pretty weak girl, I couldn't assault him or even run away from him so it'd depend on how busy the street is.. I would call the police whilst screaming for someone to stop the guy before he gets away if there were a bunch of people within distance.

Then again, I live in East London so no one would listen and/or care, and the guy who took the lady's purse would be running to join his gang down the road and probably would have hurt the lady too. I would definitely walk right on by then.

"Hoy! Get back heye with that puhse, you bloody mongrel!"
"Right away, mate."

Where would I be in relation to the man? If he was running towards me I could just trip him.

Yes, for the burglar would be too distracted to notice your discreet plan to place your foot in front of his path and trip him!

I do not know what he would want in the purse with all the security things that are in place. I would probably start yelling at him. I would not want to get involved like fighting unless he started it. So I would just start screaming at him.

I probably wouldn't confront him. It's just money, and I'm not going to attack a criminal for someone else's money. I would try to get a picture or a good look so I could tell the cops though.
