This thief got fucked up

[OreoStang]

Um.... " The medical examiner has yet to determine the cause of death. "

Foot to ass maybe?

I tend to agree more with the not killing someone. I would much rather let them be hospitalized for a month or to and feel the pain than just death..

My thing is why should the tax payer deal with his medical bill. I'm good with what he got. Don't break the law. Simple as that

[Racewerx]

Thats what happens when you get a beating from amateurs!

I worked construction for 2 years full time and all of my high school years so I know where you're coming from. You're not going to get laid off a job if your tools get stolen.

I just don't think it's any citizen's right to play judge, jury and executioner.

The fact of the matter is that no one knows the whole story other than what you're going to hear from someone who just beat a man to death so I'm going to take that with a grain of salt. What we have here is someone who got aggravated that someone was robbing him and he lost his cool. If it was a black guy who didn't have a job outside of his car who handed out the beating would everyone feel the same way?

I'll be the first to say that anyone who steals from someone else can choke on a foot long, broken glass, dogshit sandwich but they don't deserve to die for trying to break into someone's truck.

We disagree. That thief made his choice.

Agreed.

thieves should be publicly beaten to death every time... it's almost a shame that most people just shoot them in order to kill them

[NTexas_V-Star]

You sure can. You may not be able to see what's in his waste band or if he has a hand behind his back or what's in his pocket, but it seems you have it figured out.

There's a gun in my truck almost all of the time....as well as one on my hip. If I see someone in my truck, it's on. For all I know, dude found the gun in the truck, and may be about to try to use it on me.

Oh well, one less bottom feeder to worry about.

you're right... they don't deserve to die for it, they deserve to die twice, but you can't kill a man more than once unfortunately

fuck thieves, they are a blight on society and they deserve to die...

if the penalty for theft was death, there would be less theft... if not for the fact that people might think twice about it then for the fact that once caught, they're fucking DEAD

good riddance to a POS... the construction workers should go hunt down his mother and slap her across the face for raising a POS

Those of you that take pity on the dead thief think about this. Thieves can and have killed the Innocent victims that they had targeted for only a few dollars simply to make a getaway. This guy got what was coming to him. Better him than us. I cant see anyone missing the thief that was killed in this story.

[D. Lil]

Alot of people saying these guys went over the line would also say it would be ok to shoot somebody for breaking in your house.... I fail to see the difference. Where do you draw the line? If they steal your TV, death is ok, but a tool box is only left hook worthy?

Thieves deserve whatever retribution their victims feel is appropriate in my book. These guys thought the guy deserved to be beat to death, and I'm ok with that. Don't start no shit, won't be no shit.

Well said

So, if they'd only beaten him without the death, with the way the system seems to work in favor of the the thieves, they'd been charged with assault and battery, then sued for emotion distress and any other item a sorry ass lawyer could come up with.

For arguments sake, Castle doctrine does extend to your car.

Question is, what happened before the guy was beaten to death? How big was he? Did he have a knife? Did the others come out to help the first guy?

Sorry buddy...but that says in defense of a person. Look up the deadly force statutes in protection of property. Different. You can kill someone at night for theft of property or all day for burglary (inside your house)

Good job. Give them a Medal.

I prefer acid be dripped on them publicly and let the acid eat their skin away and have them bleed to death

[Avery'sDad]

What a wonderful story. This should be sponsored by Disney. If only the rest of the world would follow suit. Just sad I couldn't participate.

[FATHERFORD]

If they purposely tried to kill the guy that is one thing, but if he just accidentally died from the beat down so be it. I see this as a good thing and the city should honor them for getting rid of POS.
