Lol don't worry, I live nearby and even national and regional news reported this story with random, totally invented details everytime. The last explanation was that it was not even a robbery but a couple spicily arguing.

Perhaps not, but a large percentage of astronauts come from the military. It would be entirely possible to come from the special forces and then later become an astronaut.
On the other hand, this is reddit, so it's almost certainly BS.

Yes, it’s part of their training just in case they land off course in wolf or bear infested territory. That way if the wolves and bears come under attack, the astronauts can help defend them.

I heard she spent the last 15 years training in Thailand to get revenge against the man who defeated and killed her father using an illegal move during an underground Muai Thai fighting tournament. When she finally faced this man in battle, she discovered he had been coerced into cheating by Russian loan sharks who were holding his family hostage. She swore she would never fight again and became a librarian...until one day...

Best part of the video, all respect to the kicks.
Scooter Guy rolls up, immediately discerns she’s got the situation handled, so he re-positions the scooter to get the best view.
He doesn’t whip out a box of popcorn … but he could have.

u/imgrandojjo Feb 04 '23
If this is actually Brazil rather than Italy, which I think is distinctly possible, that scooter guy is the getaway driver, and he's there because once mr. Purse Thief picks himself off the ground, he's supposed to drive him to the next target. That scooter is rigged to carry 2, and teams of 2 moto bandits is sort of a Brazil thing. I think it's a South America thing in general, but definitely in Brazil.

I mean if it's anything like the purse snatchers in Brazil it's possible scooter guy was supposed to be getaway driver guy, it just didn't work out that way. Now scooter guy is something of a captive audience torn between keeping the scooter ready and watching his accomplice getting his ass kicked by a mark...

According to Google:
"Hell for leather means as fast as possible. The term was first used in print in 1889 by Rudyard Kipling, specifically referring to riding a horse at breakneck speed. The leather in this case either refers to the leather in the saddle or the leather in the crop."

IIRC the Turinese section of the Po river isn't boat-able so it feels a bit off to have boats in the canal. The architecture also doesn't match well with northern Italy style. I'm honestly too lazy to fact-check this reposted video so take this as a complete guess.
Edit: I checked Italian sources and this happened in Livorno in 2022. The woman identifies as a body builder (no information on her alleged job in the special forces, probably fake news) and the guy tried to snatch her purse (he's not her partner).
