Woman Chases Down Fat Purse Snatcher, Gets Purse Back

December 27, 2011 at 11:25 am by Morbid

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK - An Oklahoma purse snatcher picked the wrong person to rob the other day after his victim chased his fatass down and got their purse back.

A woman was in the checkout lane of a Family Dollar when she noticed a large black man standing at the entrance watching her intensely. Most white women are already suspicious of black men staring at them in fear of being raped, but this particular guy was being so unnerving that even one of the employees asked if he needed help.

The man stated he was simply waiting on someone to bring him some money but this explanation did little to alleviate the woman’s suspicions, especially when the man followed her outside of the store and into the parking lot. It was after the woman got her 2-year-old daughter in the car and placed her purse on the passenger seat that the man pulled a gun and demanded her purse.

After he reached over and grabbed it, his fat ass began waddling away. Figuring she could easily catch up to him, the woman chased him down and the two began struggling over her purse. Her screams for help were answered by no one aside for the robber, who tried to put a stop to this woman’s nonsense by smacking her in the head with his gun.

Undeterred, the woman would not relinquish her purse as the man began apologizing for what he was doing, saying he had never robbed anyone before and just needed to pay his rent. The woman was finally able to regain possession of her purse and took off running towards her car. The robber tried chasing after her, but he was unable to catch up.

Aside from some stitches to close the gash to her forehead, the woman and her daughter were unharmed. Police released the surveillance video taken inside store in hopes someone will recognize the robber wearing a white T-shirt, black hooded jacket, dark jeans and blue contact lenses. If you recognize lardass, call Crime Stoppers at (405) 235-7300.

I know that for some $300 is a lot of money that can be used for rent, food, etc., but that just doesn’t seem like enough to warrant having your brains blown out in front of your kid. I’m not saying people should just roll over in the face of crime, and I am glad this story isn’t a tragic one, but for an unarmed woman to chase down a man armed with a gun is just plain stupid.

This reminds me of a story a teacher told me once, about hearing someone breaking into his car at 3 in the morning, and he chased after him in his boxers, before he realized that this guy could have a gun and nothing in his car was worth getting shot over.

Glad nobody was killed, I would have been upset if that cute little girl had to lose her mom like that.

Though I’d think that she should have just delivered a swift kick to the junk while he was trying to rob her in the first place. That probably would have prevented the whole chase part.

While I could understand fighting for your purse because that would be far better than having to call and cancel/reorder every card in your wallet. I couldn’t imagine leaving my baby in the car to do so.

What a dumbass. If you need rent, do you think that someone coming out of a shitty, even for a dollar store, Family Dollar store would have enough money in her purse to pay your rent?

Are most white women really afraid black men will rape them?
Athena

Heh. That’s what I was thinking. If I were an armed robber, I wouldn’t be trolling the local dollar store for a victim.

…and, speaking on behalf of my fellow white women, I don’t know if I would say “most” of us are afraid of being raped by a black man (I’m not)… but there are a lot.

[[ an unarmed woman to chase down a man armed with a gun is just plain stupid]]
yea, but it’s totally something i would do. although if my kid was around, no way.
http://truecrimereport.com iLLusionS

Yeah I would have to agree that due to the fact her small child was with her and she had escaped with her life after being robbed and had a gun to her face, it would be time to just let it go…Suppose her ass hadn’t made it back to the car for her baby.

While I agree that it is stupid for anybody to fight an armed robber over a purse, I have more valuables than just cash in my purse. In fact, I carry very little cash so anybody robbing me would be very disappointed. Hell, it takes for friggin ever to get all your CCs stopped and new ones reissues and to get a SS card and new DL, etc. Bastard thieves! I’d gladly hand over my scarce cash if they’d just leave my purse alone. Hell, if they asked nicely, I’d prob write a check for their rent. Kudos to this lady for not taking his BS.

Note to robber….chub looks good on babies but not adults. As my pal Cedric would say…CARDIO!

Have you noticed that too? Men seem to fight & fight & fight until one of them dies & yet neither of the 2 hit each other in the nuts to end the fight quickly.

If I’ma fight a guy I’ma go straight for the nunchuck & his gibblets.

I’m not white but I am afraid of being raped by anyone in general. I know I walk around & don’t walk around certain places during the night to prevent things like this from happening.
LeaveMeBe

I can only answer for myself, and the answer is no. If I fear anything, it is that I will cross paths with a sociopathic serial killer, and I fear them regardless of race OR gender.

I’m male and I’m passive enough that if I were to actually end up in a fight, the person probably would have done something to deserve being kicked in the nuts anyway.

I’m a black male and pretty much harmless. I have to wonder about that stereotype though, we seem to be in the news for violent crime more often than rape lol.

When I was younger, prettier, more uncertain and just overall a more ideal target, I think a fear of sexual assault loomed larger for me than it does now. These days if some shady guy is eyeing me too much, I look right back at them and tuck my plain enough, but still Coach purse a little closer and take a better grip on it. Doesn’t much occur to me they’d be coveting anything else, ha.

I’m black, and I tell all my white female friends to avoid black dudes. They like to rape. Except me, of course. White ladies, I’ll keep you safe from darkzilla.

I’m not afraid of being raped by a black man, what an oddly specific fear that is. I am afraid of anyone eyeing me down as I’m exiting a store. I would not have left the store without an escort. I do not fuck around with shit like that.
I had a client stalk me once and got really good at avoiding him. I was closing the office alone one evening and just happened to see his truck parked outside which had no reason to be there. I waited inside for 30 minutes and he still hadn’t left. Finally I called my boyfriends to come escort me to my car. He didn’t leave until he saw me leave with them. After that our boss transferred him to another branch. I don’t know what his intentions were and I never wanted to find out.

Need some cash, need some dough
to keep where I live oh,
I don’t, don’t have a job
and I won’t get one, no.
Go downtown to the store
find an easy chick
to jack her for her money,
but came back to haunt me.

Waited at the store
with my eyes on the prey
and my mind on the Frito Lays & Wii.
Need to pay my rent
so I’m gonna steal a purse
but I just has to has that

cheeseburger with extra onions.
A McFlurry with extra chocolate.
Some fried chicken extra crispy,
An extra large popcorn & soda.
Extra butter!
I will try to outrun her,
even with a gun I didn’t scare her.
She caught up with me and
she took her money & purse.

No, no, no, no.

Fat, fat, you’re fat dude.
Try another crime
and this time try to have a get away vehicle.
Why, why you’d do that?Ain’t it better to
get a job & not be featured in DD for being a fat criminal.

Stalked her like a cat
trying to get a rat
and turns out you’re a snail with a dick.
Thought you had a plan,
oh such a brilliant plan but
you just has to has

cheeseburger with extra onions.
A McFlurry with extra chocolate.
Some fried chicken extra crispy,
An extra large popcorn & soda.
Extra butter!
You will try to outrun her,
even with a gun you didn’t scare her.
She caught up with you and
she took her money & purse.

You could’ve gone back to school.
You could have gotten a job.
You could’ve begged the landlor,
you could’ve sold your video games.

Fat ass, enjoy your
cheeseburger with extra onions.
A McFlurry with extra chocolate.
Some fried chicken extra crispy,
An extra large popcorn & soda.
Extra butter!
I will try to outrun her,
even with a gun I didn’t scare her.
She caught up with me and
she took her money & purse.

It is sad that our world is coming to the point that normally good people are committing crimes to provide for their families. I also shudder to think how this could have been so tragic, just a few ounces of pressure on the trigger could have cost more than a couple of hundred dollars in funereal costs for her family.

just because he SAID he’s never robbed anyone before doesn’t mean he hasn’t.

I wouldn’t leave my baby in the car and chase someone who I already know is armed over a fucking purse anyway. She’s very, very lucky he only hit her in the head with the gun and didn’t blow her brains into creamed corn in front of her child. No purse is worth risking that imho.

It’s fucking moronic to chase down an armed man for a purse. However, I would love to say that I’d be so filled with rage that I’d haul my heroic ass after him to get the purse back. The truth is, unfortunately, I’d probably stand there stuttering like an idiot and as I’m not a yeller (except when I’m getting laid appropriately, of course), and have spent an extraordinary amount of time trying to avoid bringing attention to myself, I’d probably go back inside with my child and STAND IN LINE waiting to let someone know I’d just been robbed. I know, very, very sad. The only time I’ve ever been aggressive was when my children were involved. Or maybe when I was drunk.

I don’t get why any woman in a store, knowing that a strange man has been staring at her so intently that the store clerk notices it, would leave the building and go out into the parking lot. With him still there in the store. And with her kid, no less.

If I’m in that situation, I’m calling the laws. They can walk me out to my car. I don’t care if I look like a silly woman. This story is a prime example of how people will do stupid shit in outright defiance of their own best instincts, in order to be polite and not make a scene.

People, women especially, will put themselves in life-threatening situations rather than do something that could be seen or interpreted as paranoid or racist or silly or histrionic.

Running and catch him – it ain’t no thang,
Next time he’ll remember to bring his gang.

Hahaha !! Your song remake just made my day!! Seriously I wish I could give you 50 likes!! And I needed it, because I was teary eyed all day over that dear little 9 year old girl who was murdered by a neighbor/family friend/psychotic killer and had her body cut up into pieces. ( shudder, sniffle). If us humans didn’t know how to laugh, how would we get through our days?
Canuck Gramz

Wow, I read this and got those shivery goosebumps you get when you realize someone narrowly escaped certain death ( or worse!) I know times are tough and I admire this gals toughness ( is toughness a word?) but to leave her two year old to chase a robber who had a GUN?! One click and she’d easily have her life blown away by a bullet, leaving her two year old alone in a parking lot with a guy who had just murdered her mother. She was darned lucky. Brave and amazing! But lucky and dumb all at the same time!

I’m a white woman, and I tend to avoid both white and black creepy pervs that stare me down intently while I’m checking out at the store. Call me sexist, but if I’m walking out to my car in the dark, and ANY man is walking behind me I already have 911 dialed on my cell phone, just waiting to punch the “call” button at the first hint of danger. I don’t trust men in general, I guess.

I would imagine that when your adrenaline is pumping you are going to react a certain way and to hell with the other variables. Fear and anger can cause women to do things they wouldn’t normally do. I don’t think in situations like this people have the time to think through things completely and clearly, which is why I am able to sit back after the fact and armchair quarterback about what I would do. If your instincts are to chase the person down (mine probably would be also), it’s unlikely you would go through all of the “if/buts”. “But only if my child isn’t with me, and only if he isn’t armed, and only if I’m feeling well enough, and only if there are other people around, and only if it’s not dark”. If you’re like me, you would probably follow your first instinct, then look back and think about how stupid it was or how lucky you were.

I’m terrified of being raped by any man. If I’m walking out to my car in the parking lot alone at night, I assume every man in the vicinity of me is targeting me. I like to think I’m not paranoid, just aware of my surroundings

I really hope you meant to put EVERYONE, and not just women.

If I am ever in a dangerous situation the very first thought that comes to me is the welfare of my children and THEN myself. So if this was to happen to me, I would reconsider in that instant not to chase down an armed man with my children around.

If I was ever in a situation where I was to be a victim of rape/sexual assault, I plan to not only put up a fight, but make it REALLY uncomfortable for the assailant.Could a guy keep a hard on if I am squealing like a pig?

lol

True, everyone may react differently than they normally would when faced with fear and anger. I guess what I was getting at is that I am much more likely to react emotionally than my husband. When faced with fear and anger, I usually react by instinct first, where my husband is more logical and thinks step by step through consequences. And while my way may not be the best way all of the time, it hasn’t failed me yet.
aka jas

Damn it, this chick is really stupid. If some fucking dude was doing this shit to me and then followed me out, I would have walked right back in those doors. She can feel his stare and could more than likely feel that something bad was about to happen and she still went to her car and chased him with her daughter right there. She is one lucky, stupid, girl.

She should have called the police instead. As out of shape as the Badyear Blimp looks, they probably could have chased him down even an hour later.

In general, ghetto armed robbers rob easy and convenient. Who would rob a Family Dollar Store shopper during the holidays? The same kind of asshole who would come into a Grocery Outlet (that’s a discount grocery store) and rob the place on a Tuesday night. Luckily, I escaped with my health because I did what I was told and got down on the ground. (This was last year, December 21st…)

Good. I think, at the risk of redundancy, you did the right thing.

Of course there are always the occasional psycopaths who will cause injury anyway, but even they are the minority of robbers.

“Are most white women really afraid black men will rape them?”

My life experience would indicate that the answer is “yes”.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

In Deliverance the “squealing” didn’t bother the hillbilly very much,matter of fact he demanded it to add to his sexual enjoyment – so I would guess that the answer to your question is that it depends on the individual involved.

On a secondary note I recently found out that the actor who played that particular hillbilly in the movie has died.

Had a guy rob the gas station when I was visiting my girlfriend who was working there years ago, he stuck a chrome polished ,snub nosed, pearl handle 38 in my face. He was giving the orders and I was following them to the fucking Tee. Testified against him and 2 others in a very long trial after they were caught several robberies and weeks later. Gang bangers that were drug addicts 30 years ago.When someone shoves a gun in your face, everything changes I don’t care how much of a badass your are, and I thought I was bad then.

I was a manager of a large boating business and one late Sunday afternoon two gang types came into the biz, I was all alone and the hair on the back of my neck started standing up, my fucking radar was a non stop. They started asking questions that nobody ask at a boat dealership. I took off my Rolex when I saw them walking up and made sure the cameras were on, even turned the monitor on one of the desks around so they could see themselves being recorded. I thought for sure I was fucked as the dealership was in a off the main road and it was Sunday afternoon,wsssh !

I think it’s funny that people even bother to shop at Family Dollar anymore. 90% of them are found in Ghetto’s now, and it’s not like they’re exactly cheap. THey’re actually more expensive on a lot of items than most of their competitors.
