Nah, the whole advantage of pickpocketing someone is you’re away before the victim realises they’ve been robbed. If you use violence, you then have to deal with bystanders, as well as an irate victim.
I mean knocking the person out and taking their wallet before they know wtf happened, maybe kicking their head like a soccer ball if they try to get up is done in America because it works.
No. Pickpocketers usually work in massive crowds in order to rob people. If a robber uses violence in a massive crowd, they are far more likely to be detained by said crowd even if they can knock out the person they are trying to rob.
Even threatening violence in a crowd could make people think you’re a terrorist, and the crowd response is going to be different than if you’re an unarmed pickpocket.
Or just deciding your wallet wasn’t worth getting punched in the face.
They have the advantage here. The alternative is getting blindsided with a haymaker.

There are some really fucking stupid people on this platform, aren’t there?
I am just describing a form of robbery that is more common in America than Europe, I dont understand why this is controversial.
You can’t just knock someone out with a punch. That’s how it works in movies, not in real life.
Its not like in the movies where they wake up hours later, but enough that the person is unable to defend themselves if not on the ground.
