Detroit is now more civilized than London. There, the 16-year-old girl likely would have been beaten to death.

I think the cops have their priorities out of whack.

Police are looking for the driver of the car and the gunman, who might not be a criminal suspect, but a much rarer species -- a drive-by vigilante

pin a medal on the guy

Give the guy a medal ....

Come to think of it ... knowing two guys were just driving around willing to shoot criminals would probably put a serious dent in the street crime in a place.

If those guys have any sense at all they will stay completely away from the police.

Even if they are not prosecuted, the pipe-wielding thug's family will sue them, and probably win. (Detroit, don'tcha know?)

May G_d protect this man if he deems him worthy. It certainly sounds like he is from this article. Hell, I'd take off, too. Screw the fascist gun-control gimps.

Wise up, pal. Keep your head down.

From your linked-to article:

>None of the women could provide investigators with a description of the men or the vehicle in which they were riding.

Sounds like some selective group amnesia here.

It seems that the locals have tired of a criminal justice system that is long on rights for the criminal, and short on justice for the victim, and have taken matters into their own hands. This goes far beyond vigilantism.

Then, police said, the car might have driven over the man.

Bonus points for style.

This was bad, they could have hurt a tire.
