FIRST ON FOX: A Los Angeles 17-year-old who ran over a mother walking her baby in a stroller in 2021 and received just a few months of diversionary camp as punishment was gunned down in Palmdale, California, this week.
Kristopher Baca, whom Fox News Digital has previously not identified due to his youth, pleaded guilty to the hit-and-run last year.
Deputies found him dead with gunshot wounds in a Palmdale driveway on the 83600 block of 11th Street East on Wednesday evening, according to the sheriff's office.

Very possibly as this person more than likely would have taken an innocent life or lives in time.
Vigilantism is making a comeback. Not good, even if thus far it’s rid the world of one dirtbag.
Doing the work the authorities won’t do. Not the vigilante’s fault, it’s the authority’s.
Statistics show they cause more accidents compared to standard intersections.
That’s why, inevitably, when the authorities are impotent and feckless, vigilantes pop up like mushrooms after the rain. It’s not a good situation, but it is a natural consequence of an impotent, feckless government.
Think Death Wish. Charles Bronson made a fortune off of the dramatization of this concept.
