If one of them was my kid I’d beat the living hell out of them...then I’d kick my kid’s ass but good.
“Barnes and Ware then ordered the teens out of the car at gunpoint, according to police. They punched the two teens, knocking them to the ground, then stomped on them, according to police. ... Ware and Beale were arrested at the police station. Barnes drove off and was later arrested near the scene of the crash, according to police. ... The teens were taken to University Hospital for treatment.”
And a good time was had by all.
The police are not here to protect your property. They won’t even try.
And if you try to protect your property, they will arrest you.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
That’s the bottom line.
This appeared to be a legitimate citizen’s arrest. Their mistake was transporting the perps to the police instead of asking for the police to come to the location where they were detaining the perps.
In any case, if I were on the jury, I’d have to think about jury nullification.
In this case, definitely. They ended up shooting at the perps who then totaled the car by crashing it into poles and a house. They could have just scared the piss out of the kids, beat them up a bit, took the stolen car back, and been on their way, but no, after all that they actually went to the police station without thinking things through. St00pid.
No good deed goes unpunished.
This illustrates very well why everything will go sideways soon enough.
The cops job IS in no small part to protect the crooks from the citizenry. But to keep the trust (and most important, consent) they have to uphold their part of the bargain or contract, if you will. Car theft use to be dealt with harshly. Not anymore, apparently.
And those “agreements” and “memorandums of understanding” between “stakeholders” - well the cops are now paid federal and state grant money NOT to arrest “too many” teens, especially or particularly blacks or
hispanics.
These folks did a great job, and that can’t be tolerated.
“..Arrested for what -doing the job the police won’t do?”
You may be unaware that Cleveland is a far left area of Ohio - forget about “Citizen’s Arrest” in a Democrat leftist hell hole!
“The next time this happens the punks will get taken to a town 100 miles away and left, naked on a street corner.“
The next time there will be bullet holes in the trunk and the car will wind up in a river,. That’s the neat and clean way the Mob once took care of “problems”.
Modern cars have a trunk release in the trunk. Of course, might be hard to find in a panic, or “might not work”....
This is the result of Democrat policies. Out of control crime, and now citizens are taking the law into their own hands
I suspect that no Crackers were involved in the interaction.
Next time, they’ll probably just find the bodies when the snow melts.
Exactly! Those "kids" should be thankful they're alive at this point.
1940s dollar hadn’t been inflated away, still “backed” by gold, at least nominally. Based on current gold prices about $40,000. Tough to make comparisons over time - but it’s safe to say $600 was a lot of money back then, for most people.
Years ago, a white guy friend had a black girl friend. One day he disappeared. He reappeared when the snow melted.
An internet inflation calculator says $600 in 1945 = $7,559.53 today.
(My guesstimate was about 10 times $600)
You expect something different in a Progressive Ghetto?
And going to get worse. Vigilante justice will be the norm, when leftist cops and judges are in charge. Things the vigilantes did wrong, is not wearing masks, and thinking cops would render justice. These days in liberal areas, cops don't enforce the law, and judges don't render justice.
Maybe the good citizens had just seen Death Wish.
$7.5K??? Wow!
it’s more than that a car cost $2900 in 70, what is it today
