If he steals it I'd mow him down
Robbery isn't a justifiable reason for murder, and I think the law would agree with me.

Would you laugh if it was you or someone you cared about lying on the ground, bleeding, possibly to death?

here's what i dont get:
one of those few people HAD to have had a cell phone, and we are in a freaking neighborhood! ring some doorbells!
And you would think they would live close enough to run home and make the call.
By some coincidence, no one could have had a cell phone, but several homes do have phones, and the fact that someone went looking for someone with a cell phone instead of a house with a home is rather depressing.  To make it more depressing, had this been a more isolated area and a cell phone would be needed to call for help, the man should have said that a girl has been hurt and an ambulance was needed.

Of course, if a man asks, with urgency in his tones, to use your phone, but doesn't say why, it wouldn't hurt to ask the man what's happening and offer to help.

I wouldn't kill him.

Just incapacitate him.

Hi no Seijin

Running over people is still illegal.  It doesn't matter if you kill them or maim them.  The only situation where hitting someone with your car would be excusable is if that person was threatening your life.

Well...

He did.

theft might lead to violence.

Hi no Seijin

Theft might lead to violence, but if the robber doesn't pull a weapon out on you, then you have no reason at all to kill him.  Even if he did pull out a gun or a knife, and you fought back in self-defense, the preferable thing to do would be to disarm him, not kill him.

Hmm...

I still like my Idea...

It's amazing how we've managed to stay on topic, even in the chatboard.

Hi no Seijin

Like your idea all you want, running over an unarmed pedestrian who takes off with your phone will land you in jail.  It's not worth it, and it's incredibly stupid to think otherwise.

Hmm...

Waht if I framed him.

I know how someone's mind works...

I bet I could fool local police.

Now FBI that's something different....


Uximadesk

alex, you shouldn´t feel bad, you reacted in a normal way, and, given the circumstances, someone might have already made the call.
I even suspect that the man wanted to take advantage of the situation.

I would have pulled him into the car and raped him, then let him use my phone to call the police.  I would have waited for them and let them execute me, and not tell them that I was a robot all along.  As they attempted to hang me, they would have activated my self-defense mechanism, which would cause everyone in the universe to implode.

I think it's kinda hard for a girl to rape a man...
