Police say that 24-year-old Hannah Martin was crossing the highway to get to the Tavern Sports Bar when 45-year-old Kenneth Harrison ran into her with his 2005 Chevy Tahoe.
Martin's body landed in the parking lot of the tavern where efforts to save her life failed, and she was pronounced dead after being transported to a hospital, according to an investigation by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
Harrison had pulled his truck into the parking lot, where an unknown number of tavern patrons and bystanders assaulted him and beat him so badly he was airlifted to a local trauma center. He was placed on life support before eventually dying.

Harrison was previously convicted of beating a man to death in 2011.

What we learn from this is if you hit a pedestrian and there are crowds around, don’t stop. Continue to police HQ so you get shot instead of beaten to death!
This was a spontaneous drunken mob outburst emptying out of the bar, not an organized vigilante group.
What are the odds that some drunks at a bar are going to recognize or be able to access the criminal record of the driver in the immediate aftermath of a vehicular homicide?
Bunch of rednecks taking redneck justice.
Where I was born they burned witches.
Not sure of your point.
We live today, where vigilante justice is called murder.
don’t know the whole story, but seems like a number of people committed murder.
wonder if any will face charges?
they chose to take judgement into their own hands, and they may now face judge on earth and later too.
Pretty good.
We have several ex-cons in the area. Some are prone to violence and some are not. People know which are which.
I know it seems odd to people who live in cities and rarely interact with people they know but in small towns we know who is who and what is what.
Hmmmmmmm, it appears that the authorities were saved some paperwork, court costs, public defender costs, jail housing costs, etc.
In Argentina, the authorities did a genuine “defund-the-police” experiment, where the police were simply not present. The criminals ran wild, but not for long. Pretty soon, enraged citizens were shooting them dead and stringing them up. The criminals ultimately begged for the police to come back, to increase their safety.
The experiment was quite short-lived.
Another example is in Thailand. There are police there, but the courts didn’t want to do their job. So the police simply started shooting the criminals dead in the streets.
Justice, one way or another.
What goes around, comes around...
Well, I'm older then dirt, and I'll tell ya this, "The times they are a changing".
“Harrison was previously convicted of beating a man to death in 2011.”
An example of karma grinding exceeding fine.
