Bad week for carjackers. Two died around here when they ran from police, climbed a wall and jumped 20 feet into a creek. They drowned.

Good for dad!

That was horrible. The rotten thing even looked like she has no heart.

I hope so.

If this happened in Liberal Looneyville (aka California) the father would have been arrested and charged with excessive force, and man-slaughter.

Then he'd be sentenced to prison, on top of the lawsuit by the dead carjackers' families for wrongful death and they'd be awarded $5 million each.

Cool. Now other kids can be safe from that carjacker. If they waited for the police, there may have been 3 funerals... with small caskets.

I doubt it.

I guess the car was running so that they had AC.

I'm not comfortable with a small mob beating someone to death.

Maybe it's just me.

This man no longer had to defend his family - they were safe.

If he'd had to defend his family, yes, fight to the death.

The fact that others unrelated joined in to beat this guy to death, after this guy had been pulled from the vehicle, is disconcerting.

I disagree, anyone who joined in with knowledge of what he was trying to do are heroes to me.

He wasn't "trying to do" anything at this point. He was dragged out of the car, and was defenseless.

These are assailants looking around for someone they could possibly legally assault. For the pleasure of group beating someone to death, and having it be legal.

I have a nephew who spent his high school years looking around for people he could legally beat up, and defended that behavior by stating he was defending a victim.

Yeah. That only goes so far. Quickly, everyone realizes what's going on.

Also, I disagree with the headline. It's not "man" kills carjacker, it's a mob beats carjacker to death after carjacking has ended.
