yes. they should be tried for beating the man and looting his car.

whole situation was avoidable. who chases down a gang of hyped up teenagers over littering? one of the kids threw a bottle and now this guy has injuries, severe property damage and a bunch of his possessions stolen. he chose to escalate the situation. don’t escalate. move on with your life. especially if you have all your belongings in your car because you’re moving.

He didn’t chase anyone down according to the report. He ran away. Or tried to, anyway.

He escalated by getting out of his car? I agree that was stupid, he should have kept moving and not stopped for lights or stop signs, but it’s pretty crazy some cities are at the point where getting out of your vehicle is considered “escalating” and leads to your car being destroyed and being viciously beaten by a group of 40 children.

correct. assuming malice from the kids, Mr Uulu got out of the car to confront literal children. this is escalating a trivial incident to a confrontation. over a plastic bottle hitting his car.

I’m just saying it’s a sad world when you think the abnormal behavior here is someone getting of their car.

There will be no justice. We all need to buy guns.

If this guy had been armed, he would likely be dead. And some kid would have a new gun.

I mean yeah but like because of the crazy shit the heritage foundation is saying, not because of random teenagers.

Either way, that dipshit escalated the situation himself, but if he didn’t I don’t know that I’d call shooting into an angry mob that’s trying to beat your ass “justice.” Justified maybe, but not justice. That feels like fuel for those weird dudes who jerk off to r/justiceporn.

He got out to yell at some vandals and he got beat. If he could protect himself, the right people would have been punished. The man had his entire life in that car, he was probably not in the best place mentally. Why was that his life? What about him? You seem to be siding with the criminals because the victim wanted to stop a crime.

Anyone who looks at a situation where nobody died, and thinks it would have been better if people had been killed, is a violent person and a danger to others.

That’s not true, there are plenty of people who if they just fuckin’ keeled over the world would be a better place.

That being said I don’t think shooting into a crowd of teenagers is the solution, though if I was being beaten by a crowd of them I might change my mind. Call me violent but IMO if it came between me and a crowd of fucking cishets, I know my choice.

Either way the guys a nuclear dofus for leaving his car. I mean what are you going to do, fucking scold them?
