If It Wasn’t for These Good Samaritans, Repeat Sex Offender Would’ve Kidnapped Age 11 Girl
Western Journal ^ | December 16, 2018 | Amanda Thomason

There are horrible people out there in the world who search for victims. There are things you can do to protect yourself, and staying alert and aware of your surroundings is crucial.

But sometimes, even when you do everything right, the odds are stacked against you. That’s what an 11-year-old from Queens experienced — and if it hadn’t been for two observant neighbors, she might not be here today.

It was Saturday morning when Alexander Salas heard screaming. What he discovered was a scene he later described to CBS as “nerve-wracking”: a man trying to stuff a young girl into a car.

He ran out of his house with a bat and asked the girl if she knew the man. She said no and pleaded for help.

“He literally had her sideways and she’s fighting with him, he’s trying to put her in the car head first,” Salas said, tearing up. “She fought, she kicked, she screamed, she did everything and she used her phone.”

...

Salas kept the man preoccupied and let him talk until police got there and handled the situation. The 40-year-old man turned out to be Relyn Estrada, a registered sex offender with 13 prior arrests and a sexual assault charge.

...

A video of him being led to a police car is chilling: He looks directly at the camera and makes a face, but says nothing.

I’d come very close to approving of the death penalty for repeat sex offenders.

He shouldn’t be walking the streets, and I would like to see what his priors were, and what the legal system did to protect this little girl and other potential victims.

Looks like someone already took a bat to him in his past. Too bad they did stop him permanently.

Look what this country has turned into since leftism has overtaken out nation in full-force at the dawn of the 1960s.

A sane society takes this guy out and executes him, fast. You don’t let him out on the streets time after time.

Why isn’t this man in prison for years for each of the 13 prior crimes? Our laws don’t protect children from sexual predators, it’s outrageous. That needs to be changed.

I believe child exploitation is much more common than most people know and a lot of judges are offenders as well. This is the reason why Dateline’s stings where shut down.

Where is the creepy photo of the guy who was the leader of the cult that all committed suicide trying to hop a ride on the comet from about 20 years ago. He looks like Schiff’s father.

And he’ll probably get by with a stern warning
