This is about right

    1. Maybe how Americans imagine it going. Most people arent going to notice a pick pocket, much less be fit enough to chase down and suplex them

    2. It’s US delusion. They currently are ruled by a pedophile rapist that steals money in the billions daily and they still somehow think they are strong on crime. It’s a sad to watch decay of an entire nation into insanity and stupidity.

      Where i live if you raise your hands on a pickpoket you risk to get legal problems, i remember a burglar compensated for injury sustained during a robbery and is not an isolated case

    4. I’m Italian, and here you can’t do almost anything against thieves of any kind. If you’re robbed on the street, you can’t fight back because the thief might report you if you injure him. If he breaks into your home, you can’t hold him, otherwise it becomes kidnapping. If you accidentally injure him on your property, you have to pay him for the damages. If you kill him, you go to prison, unless he was about to kill you. You still risk excessive self-defense, and you go to prison.

      IDK about that, I have heard stories about what happens to pickpockets in Europe if they are caught.

      Italian reaction to pickpocketing:
      (Can’t find an appropriate gif but it’s basically ATTENZIONE BORSEGIATRICI ATTENZIONE PICKPOCKET PICKPOCKET)

      That’s called stealing, in most Asian countries it’s rewarded with a gentle punch to the face

    8. There’s something ironically funny about the American version having someone dark skinned be the pickpocketer

      News of Americans beating up pickpocketers is the proudest ive felt as an American in the past decade

      Ancedotal.. got pick pocketed in Barcelona. I was ~19. I fucking threw that guy into a wall so hardhes head bounced off it. He was like what your wallet is right there and like threw it out of his sleeve as he pointed. My fight or flight was still going so I just lunged at my wallet like my precious. He scampered before I even stood up. As I explained the story to all my friends 10 minutes later at the hostel I was like…oh fuck…and all the senarios of him having a knife or gun ran through my head. In the moment I was just immediately pissed and just like fuck you give it back.

    11. Combination of physical disability and high self esteem. The purest American meme.

      As an American I can confirm this is not true. That’s clearly a German suplex, not an American one.

      Thats just BS. Europeans arent any different. A friend of mine chased a Thief for 2 hours and jumpscared his ass on the other side of the Island.

    14. Dude, we spent one Night in New Orleans last month. I‘d rather relocate to Cherson than spent another night over yonder.
