A father chased after a car thief who stole a vehicle with his children inside and then beat him to death with help from bystanders Thursday night in Philadelphia, police said.
The ordeal began around 9 p.m. when a 25-year-old woman parked her Hyundai outside a pizza shop on 29th and Dauphin streets. The woman went inside the shop to visit her 25-year-old boyfriend who worked there but left her three young children inside the running vehicle, police said.

If anyone wants my stuff, they can have it. Back the truck up to the front door and I'll help you load it. Pose a threat to my wife and daughters and I will kill you dead. No warnings, no negotiations.
I'd like to meet the dad and shake his hand.

Now the gentleman will be in prison instead of with his partner and her children.

The article says it is not yet determined whether he will be charged, so perhaps not.

25 years old ... 3 kids ( left in car ) ...no husband but “ has boyfriend “ ...Philly ...Wonder what race ? I think the US goobermint is fudging the race numbers . 12.5% ? Don’t believe it . How many stories I’ve read of “ non-white “ women with 6/7/8 kids but rarely hear about whites with that many kids . 3 is rare for whites .

You're incorrect. You think blacks constitute more than 12.5% of the population simply because you read more news stories about them and their high number of children. I can assure you that rural America is FULL of white people who have more kids than they can afford, are not married, and live off the government. While it is true that black people are overrepresented in terms of percentage of population, there are more whites in this situation in terms of sheer numbers.
Unfortunately, our system rewards people for making stupid choices. Yes this woman made a bad choice leaving her kids in the car, but the blame here rests with the criminal, and I am not going to cry over his death.

Left her kids in the car with the keys in the ignition and the engine running. SMH.
To: Tax-chick
She made a calculation: no one will steal my car with kids in it.
He made a calculation: running car + sans driver = profit!
He made a calculation: I can lynch this guy because kids were is the car.
They made a calculation: this is a, no kidding, justifyable lynching, lets have fun.

“Calculation” is probably too strong a word for the mentation processes of the participants.

There are a whole lot of whites with more than three kids, especially in the circles I run in. But we never get in the news, and we never make a lot of noise.
But we are out growing their population constantly.
