When she wouldn't give her vehicle up to the "Suspect" he pushed her out of the vehicle, stopped the vehicle, then jumped on top of her and stabbed her to death. All this with passerbys watching the whole time.

Depends on when I saw him. If I saw him stabbing her, I'd have shot the knife out of his hand without injuring him. Then I would have arrested her for enticing him into a life a crime. If I had seen the two jump on him, I would have shot them both. He is out stimulating the economy during a time of recession and they are trying to impede him. < G > As for pummeling, nah, it ain't worth it.
