Strangers help 10-year-old girl escape would-be abductor in Jacksonville, Fla.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) A would-be kidnapper grabbed a 10-year-old girl on her way to school, and passers-by foiled the attempted abduction by trying to block his car and yelling for help.

If he is ever found, we should strap him to a MOAB and let it fly.

Now, I would pay to see that!!!!

Authorities were looking for a man in his 20s driving a gold Toyota Camry with a broken left headlight and a dent in the passenger door.

Shouldn't be too many of those around. Hopefully, he will be caught soon.

The good guys need to sharpen their blocking in skills. Vehicles can't drive away when other vehicles are firmly planted in both their front and rear bumpers. Did he get away because people hesitated to bash up their shiny cars in order to stop him? It's great that the little girl was rescued, but the perv is probably driving a different car now, has learned a few things from this experience, and is actively plotting (if not already executing) his next child-grabbing.

If he tried that in my neighborhood while the men are around, he'd be a little red puddle on the sidewalk right now, and the police would be calling in the DNA exerts to ID him.

He's real lucky someone didn't chase him down and shoot him. That's the usual way we deal with scum. The cops never prosecute for self defense, even when people chase the bad guy down.

I hope the driver is found with a bullet to his head.

and if he had turned out to be the childs father, your heros would be sitting in jail right now awaiting trial for first degree murder.

I think the people who saved this girl reacted as well as could be expected given what they knew about the situation.

[GovernmentShrinker]

I'm not "blaming" them (as i said, it's great that the girl was rescued) -- just suggesting a way all of us can think about preparing to take the most effective action possible if we ever find ourselves in a similar situation. I happen to think it's worth always striving to do better. Pervs like this are NEVER one-time offenders, and his escape puts other innocent little children at risk.

[Countyline]

How close was that for the ten year old girl?

She is one fortunate little girl. No doubt she will have bad dreams for quite awhile.

[vannrox]

I glad to see CONSERVATIVES saved the girl. LIBERALS would of simply filmed it.

You don't live in jacksonville, do you. Juries don't convict in these cases and the cops seldom even file charges.

We could all learn from this brave soul.

Huh? Are we talking about the same thing here?

I think you must have misunderstood my post. It is the only explanation.
