Man drives his car into a crowd outside an East Hollywood nightclub.

One thing that bothers me about the incident. Some guy was thrown out of a nightclub for being a jerk. So, he mows down a bunch of people in front of the club. He's captured and beaten by the crowd, and hand cuffed by "security". And while cuffed, he was shot in the back by someone in the crowd.!!!!! At least, that's the story I read. I can understand a little "street justice" given to him by the crowd. But you don't get to play judge, jury, and executioner, by shooting a cuffed person in the back.
 
The unfortunate thing about the shooting is that the perpetrator also becomes the victim. I think the crowds in the street beating on him should have sufficed.
 
I ask myself if this type of thing is due to kids/ young people not being taught actions have consequences?
A man his age should have known he was being a jerk and probably warned maybe more then once before being thrown out....
Seems to have zero impulse control ( like a small child throwing a tantrum) to seek revenge in driving into crowd. Without thought of possibly killing others... Chances are this group outside were NOT the same ppl he had a problem with inside.

Crowd justice is a slippery slope as seen in this case. Did the shooter think this will end badly for them too?
Some will claim crowd frenzy....... but i hear my mom say "if idiots jumped off a bridge would you too? "

I look around each day and see several acts of zero impulse control ...... and NOT thinking through what the long term consequences are....
Then the same people Whine about it is not fair when they are punished or have this action follow them through life.

Some things on a record effects you getting jobs that require background checks etc .... even reflects on your poor judgement for employers. i mean even posts on social media seem to last forever ... do they think before pushing POST.
