D.A._Sakuyamon Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Something that caught my interest. http://www.freep.com/article/20140402/NEWS01/304020159/Mob-beats-driver-who-accidentally-hit-boy-with-pickup-in-Detroit Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeRainbowDash Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Jeez... That's plain ridiculous. Makes you wonder what their reason was. Did the guy say something to offend them or something? Some people need to be kept on a damn leash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urayne Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 thats harsh! why would they beat him up after he stopped to check?! EDIT: Im tired of posting and someone has posted while i was typing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 This is pretty harsh; I feel bad for the driver much more than the child honestly. I can understand the child is in bad condition, but at least he's not exactly dead on the scene. It can be understood that some people may speed too much on residential neighborhoods but hey, it's children. They're very small and their actions are spontaneous so it's hard to tell what they're going to do. And it said they were still going to play; Did that experience ever fricking told them that it was a consequence of playing around like that? And 30 people is even more brutal which demonstrates a nasty amount of deindividualization; And that literally can all hurt more than being rammed by a car/truck. The driver never ran away yet people let their premature justice headsets kick in and use a higher amount of violence to solve a problem. Mob Psychology ladies and gentlemen.

Agro Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Have they they even READ Jekyll and Hyde? You're supposed to immediately demand adequate compensation or else you'll systematically destroy their reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 This happens all the time in my country. :/ Someone steals a thing, beat them to a pulp. Someone runs over a child, throw a molotov cocktail. I guess people just like to take matters into their own hands, and feel as if they've delivered their own justice.

goddamnit names are a pain Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Let me get this straight...kid gets ran over and this guy already has to LIVE with this guilt and THEN he gets beat up by a bunch of people? I feel for both people injured in this and legitimately mean it when I say those other guys can go to hell and stay a bit. Instead of getting help right away they beat up someone trying to get help. This pisses me off. I just want to hear about something actually good happening in the world but apparently the world stopped being good. I may be exaggerating but this is just depressing.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Guy accidentally hits a kid (who fortunately survived this), get the tar beaten out of him by a mob. Unless he said something stupid to said mob, they had no legitimate reason to do so [unless they're like the usual thugs that walk around the street and like to hit people for no reason] Hell, they took the guy's credit cards and his money after creaming him. Though considering this is Detroit (unless I'm mistaken, they're known for their gang activities), this isn't really surprising. At least the man did the right thing and stopped, but it sucks that the crowd beat him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 At least most of cases like this in my country involves intentional crimes, however petty the crime is. This is simply ridiculous, and I really suspected that the beating has actually little to do with the accident itself. Prayers for the man and the kid.

If children are known to play in the area and "their actions are spontaneous" wouldnt it be better to not speed. Also, drivers should be aware of their surrondings, specially with children around. Kids dont understand consequences as well as adults, so im not surprised about them going to play. Also "“Our chief indicated there was a large group of approximately 30 or more people,” Woody said. “But that’s not to say they all took part in the assault, but they did come out to assist the child, and it was a large group at that time. They could have been from that large group" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frunk Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 It said in one of the articles that the police believed he wasn't speeding or breaking any road rules. Personally, I'll notice if I'm driving and there's some kids coming up on the curb, and slow down below the limit/change lanes/drive accordingly. Still, can his beating be classed as a HATE CRIME? Yes I went there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Some people do stupid things in the name of justice. There was a recent story of 11 people who kidnapped and beat a couple to try and get a confession because they believed they'd killed a family member.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Still, can his beating be classed as a HATE CRIME? Yes I went there. I would probably think it would be classed as one here in the US. That being said, if the guy dies from injuries, whoever's responsible faces possibility of murder charges (assuming this is 2nd degree). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
