Angry father and bystanders perform bare knuckled Public Service Homicide (PSH), children now safe
2019-07-13
[Breitbart] Authorities said that an unnamed car thief was beaten to death by the father of the children who were still in the car when he stole it.

At around 9 p.m. on Thursday night in Philadelphia, a 25-year-old woman drove her child ‐ and both of her boyfriend’s children ‐ to the pizza place where her partner worked. She left the kids in the car and went inside, whereupon a 54-year-old man jumped into the car and sped away.

The aforementioned boyfriend charged out of the restaurant and after the car. When it was blocked by traffic, he caught up and dragged the would-be abductor from the vehicle. He and other bystanders then assaulted the man. Emergency medical services responded to the scene and took the thief to Temple University Hospital. But just after 10 p.m., he was declared dead.

Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told local NBC affiliate WCAU that the woman and her boyfriend were taken into custody, where they cooperated fully with law enforcement officers. According to Small, both the homicide unit and the District Attorney’s Office must now determine whether the father will be charged.

Fortunately, none of the children ‐ all between the ages of seven months and five years ‐ were harmed.

A Philadelphia liberal sacred cow. Sounds like people on the street are getting tired of it.

#4  Unfortunately, the Dickens quote about "The law is an ass", comes into play here.

#3  Doing the work the government won't?

"But we can't have people doing this!"

Long past the time to look hard in the mirror and come to the possibility the rubes believe you are no longer willing to give them justice. It's all ritual rather than function.

#2  Kidnapping a child should carry the death penalty. No matter how it comes about, so if you carjack someone's car and there are kids in the back, there should be a date of execution in their future.

#1  I hope he's not charged with anything. This is exactly what people should do. The bystanders too are to be commended. The bastard Erik Hood,54 had 30 Yupp prior arrests. Also, Hood had managed to get free from the hero father and was caught by a mob who proceeded beat his ass to death.

What a tale of social fraternity, people. If this ain't brotherhood, I don't know what is. The law should quietly acquiesce and learn humility here.
