Angry mob beats suspected child rapist

Normally I'm against mobs like this but in this case, I'm all for it! Child rapists are the lowest of the low!
 
What if this guy was one of your sons and did nothing but look like some guy they showed a picture of on TV; would anyone here then go and and personally beat to near death all the teenagers involved?

It would be crazy if the guy that beat up was innocent. Yet those teenagers still beat him up. It was irresponsible on their part to do that, no matter what anybody says. Innocent until proven guilty, and they should have made damn sure they had the right guy.

I think the mob was in the wrong. It seems so wrong that they did that. Of course I would want some street justice, but how could someone administer this street justice without knowing 100% for certain the recipient was guilty and the right man?

So.. if these kids were wrong, got the wrong guy, or he is innocent, who is going to beat them down?

Nobody seems to understand the concept of innocent before proven guilty nowadays 🙁

He was proven guilty enough times, this time they just got to him before the cops did. I'm all for the innocent until proven thing, but with a record like this guy I have very little doubts


Carrasquillo has a history of drug charges and other offenses, according to court records, and at least 12 convictions. He has pleaded guilty to manufacturing drugs, driving under the influence, and simple assault. He was charged with attempted rape and aggravated assault in 2002, according to court records, but those charges were later withdrawn.

You guys cheering this on should just be happy he wasn't beaten by people actually employed by the justice system. If he was beaten by a mob of cops, he could have probably sued the city for a lot of money and he even could have walked. All in exchange for a few physical injuries that will heal over time.

I hope this is the right guy but vigilante justice, especially when the guy hasn't even been put on trial yet, is more likely to backfire than do good.

cops wouldn't have beaten him though, they'd just taze him, stick a baton up his ass then take his dope and money.

STFU... PLEASE...

You be singing a different story if it was your kid.

The maggot that was caught molesting my daughters that were 1 and 3 at the time,ya know what he got......6 months.......and probation......:roll:

On the other hand they gave me 9 months for beating the fuck outta him when he got out of the workhouse and I put him in the hospital for a month and half and the motherfucker still can't stand up straight.

laws and penal code....get the fuck outta here with that bullshit,there are no proper laws for this kind of scum,must be nice in candyland where you live...

Alright Mad Max, put down the machete. Why do I even post on these forums? Every thread gets trolled by a psychopath... and the fucked up part is it's always a different person.

Assuming Mad Max isn't full of shit, I can empathize with his predicament and frustration.

While society can't sanction taking personal retribution when the justice system doesn't dispense justice, I can't personally bring myself to stand against what he did either.

Vigilante mobs sometimes kill/maim the wrong guy, however, so the incident in the OP cannot be applauded, even if they did target the right guy this time. That said, if it is the right guy, he deserves what he got and more. I have no patience or empathy for those who prey on the defenseless.

Did the kids know that at the time?

Can't a 'person of interest' also involve being a family member / friend of someone they're looking to charge so they can find that person?

Maybe I should read the article and see what was actually said on the news!
 
I feel a person who commits rape should ge shot. BUT we have a justice system and it needs to be followed.
i really hope they got the right guy though.



but the OP is right about ATOT when it comes (to some members of ATOT) to vigilaten justice.

i remember the case where the lawyer killed his neighbor because the wife said his 2 y r old claimed the guy "came in his room on the stary nigts". that was it. no proof no cops nothing. just the word of a 2 yr old. AND many on ATOT said good the guy deserved it!

Lol, how is he trolling? He's the ONLY person in this thread (so far) who has any personal connection with molestation/rape of his kid(s). Like any other sane and loving father would do, he gave the perp what he deserved...the beating of a lifetime. Something the pussy legal courts never EVER have the balls to do.

It's unfortunate that bababooey got 9 months for what he did, but I know he'd do it again. I would gladly trade 9 months to punish anyone who did that to my children.

bababooey is right...there is no proper laws for this kind of scum. The bleeding hearts aren't helping, either.
 
When you agree to be a part of a society and reap the benefits provided by it (and yes we all agreed to be part of this society, whether it be a tacit agreement or other) you are agreeing to abide by the laws and rules.

Is our penal system flawed? Sure thing. There is mass incarceration for people with drug addictions and mental disabilities who need help, while violent criminals are getting sentenced to 2 years with all but 6 months suspended and getting out after 3 months for "good behavior". Yeah this is fucked up, but it's not our place to step in and deal out punishment when we are dissatisfied with the system.
 
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Easy to say when it hasn't happened to you or someone you love.

 
see this is why you wait until after he is convicted, goes to jail then a few weeks after he gets out he mysteriously disappears never to be heard of again.....anything can happen.

Don't confuse what a person deserves for the punishments that a civilized society is willing to impose. They aren't the same thing.

I understand what you mean, but being a participant in such a society requires we uphold its mores. Onllokers should have intervened, the fact they didn't is cause for concern. The ghost of Kitty Genovese rears her head and demands attention, yet again, poor woman.

I agree that someone should have intervened. We don't even know if the guy was guilty. I wouldn't have participated in the beating myself, but if it turns out that he is guilty it won't bother me at all that he got a beating. I do think that the people who beat him need to be punished for what they did.

When you "fix" a post you're supposed to bold the part you "fixed" so people don't think I actually said that.

Here's the problem. Say there's a rapist out there who looks kind of like you and the authorities leaked his photo to the media. Now you happen to be strolling down the street minding your own business when a mob suddenly appears and give you the royal beatdown because they thought you were him. Kind of sucks, doesn't it?

Meh, I would just inject him with some *blank*, drag him back to my garage, stab him in the heart with a claymore, cut him up, and dump the pieces in the wood chipper.

Kind of like the cop who tackled that guy and broke his neck and put him in a coma last week? They had the wrong guy....

If the guy was guilty (the rapist), then they should have slit his throat right there.. HOWEVER, he wasn't proven guilty in a court of law, so the beat down was not right at all, and those that did it should be severely punished.
