A week ago, while waiting in line at the checkout counter, I felt someone trying to steal my wallet. It was a woman standing behind me. In a panic, I reacted without thinking and punched her 3 or 4 times ( I dont remember correctly ) until she fell to the ground. The store manager called the police, who took my statement and detained the woman. I know the store has cameras, so I hope everything was recorded. Recently, I’ve been feeling scared. Should I be worried? I realize it might not legally qualify as self-defense, but what else could I have done? Should I be concerned about consequences for reacting to a thief?
