This article just doesn't make sense...

Police said they know who they are looking for, but they won't release his name or a sketch because of fear of retaliation, News 5 reported.

"We need concrete information from the public making an identification," Officer Don Taylor said. "Once we do, we will try to get a picture and make a positive identification."

The suspect was described as a Hispanic man, 22 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, with a tattoo on his inner forearm.

It sounds like the authorities know his name and have a pretty detailed description of him. So, why are they asking for "concrete information" to make an identification?

From the description, the rapist appears and acts like a Hispanic gang member. Likely, others in the house were either in his gang or relatives. Thus, the "torch".

Expect more vigilante justice as the authorities let illegal immigration get further out of control. If the authorities don't obey the law, why should the people? Frankly, a lot of people in this country have simply had it up to "here"!

And while we're on the subject, why haven't the authorities rounded up and detained the other "Immigrants" in the house, who most assuredly are probably illegal aliens as well? Aren't the others breaking laws too?

I'd say the arithmetic strongly supports your statement. This article has had 2600 readers so far, 115 readers have replied, and of those replies, only three or four have been "outraged" that the citizens in this case are pursuing justice that the government has been unable to provide.

Just my guess, but it appears that the 2500 or so readers who haven't replied are not so "outraged" about the efforts of the vigilantes.
