I read that about 17 people die every year from falling off the subway platform and being hit by a train, and I personally would not feel bad if this robber helped bump the yearly quota to 18. To attack an elderly person without provocation, and in such a manner like she did, that's really proving yourself to be the lowest form of human life imagineable. I hope when they catch her they hang her.
