More details are emerging after Philadelphia police say a suspected carjacker who attempted to steal a womans car with three of her children inside was beaten to death by the womans boyfriend and other bystanders.
It all started at around 9 p.m. Thursday, when the woman stopped her car next to the pizzeria where her boyfriend works, according to WCAU.
The woman reportedly left the car running with three of her children, ranging in age from seven months to 5 years old, inside.
Her boyfriend is the father of two of those children, police said. Investigators say the 54-year-old suspect stole a car with three children inside and was chased down by the childrens mother and her 25-year-old boyfriend, WNYW reported. The pair eventually caught up with the car and pulled the suspect from the drivers seat.
[The parents] were able to pull this car thief out of the vehicle. He fled on foot about a half a block. And the boyfriend caught up to him and there was some sort of physical struggle that ensued, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said, according to WPVI.
Authorities say thats when bystanders got involved as well, joining the father in beating the suspect up, which eventually resulted in his death.

There is an actual difference?
Still,if I were on their jury,they wouldn't have a thing to worry about.
Justice was served.

I'm sure the "I was in fear for my life" defense can fit in there somewhere. Apparently the requirement for that defense is pretty low.

I disagree. You should have a reasonable right to expect your kids to be left alone for short spells in a civilized country without them being kidnapped or molested.

Then we should make it that way,by immediately hanging anyone caught murdering a child.
