A hero Texan with a baseball bat has chased down and apprehended a killer carjacker as he tried to escape. Texas man Lewis Matos said he saw the thug steal a woman's car and drag her to her death before attempting to flee.

Wonder which one our “justice” system will punish the harshest?

No! It really is a question...

Just waiting for the following...

Ban ALL Baseball Bats.... NOW!!!!!

[Tell It Right]

Hopefully the court/jury in Uvalde, TX (west of San Antonio) ain’t like the courts in Austin.

I expect Lewis Matos will be receiving many bats starting soon.

It is a good question.

Chasing the killer with a baseball bat looks justifiable and it looks from the article that the hero did nothing wrong. If the hero had started clubbing the killer, that would have been different, but it looks like he just held him until police arrived. God bless him.

Normally defense of other is the same as self defense and the force you use should not be significantly more deadly that the force used against you unless the opponent is a burglar in your home.

Here, the hero wasn’t really defending the victim who had died but was pursing the defendant. Looks good to me.

BTW, our justice system is not perfect but it is way ahead of whatever else is out there. However, these days perversity increases the closer you get to the federal level and the White House.

we need sensible bat-control. No one needs a 34” 30 oz louisville slugger for hunting.

Pray for the hero!

Beg pardon, my favorite used to be a Louisville Slugger 36 made of hickory. Lot of people couldn’t swing it. I used to but can’t now. It was a medium brown color. Got it and used when I was in my teens. But for the life of me I can’t remember how I acquired it. Sometime around 1960 when we lived in Georgia seems about right.

Partner, you ain't lying!

I carry two (2) aluminum baseball bats in the back of my seat and a crowbar. Sometimes, I think that is not enough. BTW, great post.

You got caught by the same stupid reporting that I did. This all happened in or near Houston, on Uvalde street.

[Gomer Pyle voice] Citizen’s arrest! Citizen’s arrest!

Texas man white Hispanic Lewis Matos...

[BlueLancer]

Baseball bats are good ...

But cricket bats are better ... like having an unsharpened axe ...

[GOPJ]

Marcus Wayne Brock was identified by police as the killer

But, but, but he was trying to turn his life around and wanted to cure cancer...

[GOPJ]

We would be further ahead by banning fossil fools, like Biden, Pelosi, Feinstein, Leahy, etc

..."banning fossil fools" LOL - that's great... Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.

The killer was out on bail for several other felonies, and he has been granted bail in this case as well.

smh. Harris county judges need to be charged as accessories to murder.
