https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2022/01/05/he-messed-with-wrong-family-hawaii-teen-takes-down-mugger-big-easy/Tupea, along with her parents, was walking down the Central Business District to grab dinner in New Orleans while on vacation Tuesday, Dec. 28, when she says a man accosted her family, HawaiiNewsNow reported. Tupea said the man punched her mother in the face, dislocating her jaw.
****************
She ran after the accused attacker once he decided to flee, according to Tupea, and he then turned around and hit her, too. Tupea said she reeled from the punch, which left her with a black eye, NOLA reported, but still continued to pursue the man.
Once she caught up with him, she dodged his tackle and pinned him down under a car, trapping him, according to HawaiiNewsNow. The man pleaded with her to let him go, Tupea said, but she told him she wouldnt.
He asked me to let him go, but I kept telling him that he messed with the wrong family, she told HawaiiNewsNow.

Here's another article with the video. He was a rough-looking purse snatcher, a 'career criminal'.

He will argue that he fled the scene and that the victims were no longer in danger, but she chose to pursue.
Regardless, I'd like to hire her as my bodyguard.

Power lifters are freaky strong. Probably shocked the mugger.
