0:00.0	Karen's demon child breaks his wrist while stealing my purse.
0:04.9	So she sues me.
0:07.9	Hi guys, before I start, I'm from Germany and this story took place there.
0:12.5	Please keep that in mind, because A, our laws might be slightly different, and B, English isn't
0:17.7	my first language. And if I write things in a strange way, that's why. So in the
0:22.7	early 2010s I was trying on sneakers in a shoe store downtown, with my purse lying next to me on
0:29.0	the floor. I'm both blind and deaf on my right side, brain surgery gone wrong, but I'm okay
0:35.2	considering the circumstances. So I didn't even really see the teenager
0:39.9	who sneaks up, grabs my purse and starts booking it out of the store. If he hadn't started

1:07.1	or hour fall, with me on top of him. He was maybe 150 pounds and I was maybe 185, and there was a
1:14.6	sickening crunch. Textbook Galliazzi fracture. I instantly feel horrible for the chap and try to see
1:21.3	what's wrong. I used to work as an EMT. The clerk from the shoe store is standing there staring
1:26.5	at us, trying to figure out what just happened.
1:29.4	The kid was clutching his arm and trying to act tough.
1:32.5	He might have even tried to get back up and keep running, but there were too many people around us now,
1:37.1	and he changed his mind about that.
1:39.1	I asked for an ambulance to be called, but it's the police who show up first, called by the store.
1:44.8	They ask what happened, and I explain. The store clerk explains as well. A few witnesses chip in,
