I caught a pickpocket in Madrid with his hand in my girlfriend’s purse. He was directly behind us on the escalator. We just kind of were like “hey not cool,” then had an awkward escalator ride. We were late for a flight, so didn’t really have time to do much anyway.
I have had stuff stolen in Paris. Mostly, you have no idea it happened until they’re long gone.
What do you suggest they should’ve done instead in that situation? Assault him and get arrested? Report him to the police or airport security and miss the flight while getting the bureaucratic run-around?
I have no reason to come into contact with cops, security guards, or soldiers on a regular basis. I can only assume your “literally” is facetious as well because literally every day is absurd.
And in the context of replying to someone making claims against the “average American” carrying guns, I think it’s appropriate to omit people carrying for work, yes.
How do Europeans react to pickpockets?

You caught a man with his hand in your girlfriend’s purse, and his punishment was a “hey, not cool” and 15 seconds of awkward escalator?
No fucking wonder that happens CONSTANTLY when an awkward 15 second escalator ride is the punishment for getting caught.

Cause a scene. Be obnoxious and in their face. You don’t have to throw a punch to be scary.

God what a bunch of pussies.
Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t average American scared to walk to church without a gun of there are 80 year old homeless people on the way?
I haven’t even seen a gun in years. You’re out of touch with reality.
I’m an American and I see guns literally every day. Are you not counting cops, security guards, and soldiers?

Do you not see the guns on people carrying for work? I do in fact literally see guns every single day.
warn other people of their presence, publicly shame them
