Carjacker chased down and killed by parents/mob in Philadelphia

I don't consider the Rodney King case an "exception." I also don't consider the O.J. case an exception. They were just more publicized. I also don't think the Lena Baker case was an exception. I've witnessed racist cops chatting about their exploits & how they have "fun" & I knew what goes on long before we heard douche bag Mark Fuhrman's stupidity on tape (which was partly responsible for allowing O.J. to get away with two murders). Many defense attorneys are former cops & make their careers defending racist cops when they commit a crime, so nothing they say or do surprises me.
I'm in favor of professional jurors. In fact, I'd be willing to go to whatever school would be required & obtain whatever degree needed & I would have made it my career. Anything is better that what we have now.
 

Win, you really don't want to let go of this, no matter what anybody has to say about it.

Your desire for "professional jurors" brings to mind the brilliant humor of Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado. They used Japan to make fun of the British legal system, in which some of the characters were the Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner, Pooh-Bah, the Lord High Everything Else, and The Mikado (emperor of Japan), is rolling on the floor laughing at his own legal sentences:

My object all sublime, I shall repeat in time,
To let the punishment fit the crime, the punishment fit the crime,
And make each prisoner pent unwittingly represent
A source of innocent merriment, of innocent merriment.

All prosy, dull society sinners who chatter and bleat and bore,
Are sent to hear sermons from mystical Germans who preach from ten till four...

And so on. Your "professional jury" would fit right in!

Sunny, your repeated replies indicate that YOU don't want to let go of this. What unseen force is compelling you to respond?

Perhaps Sunny is motivated by her interest in justice and the rule of law, rather than mob violence.

Everyone has the right to their opinion. And also the right to express it, whether someone else agrees with it or not. And for those who really don't want to know my opinion, there is a feature called "Ignore" that doesn't cost anything.
 
The last that I have been told is that the D.A. is still investigating the case.

IMO, I would have had no problem with the father catching the carjacker and along with the mob would have then held him for police to take into custody.

All these people did was to commit another crime.

You can't possibly know that since you weren't there. If the suspect resisted & had to be restrained, that could have resulted in his death. It happens frequently with police officers too; a suspect resists arrest, there is a struggle & the suspect dies of injuries while being restrained or has a heart attack.

Somebody threatens to take one of your kids you lose it at least temporarily.
People are getting very frustrated with all these thugs making life miserable and unsafe for them.
Mother should be cited and father and mob awarded a medal. This thug could have killed the child in a hot pursuit chase. Highjacking is one thing risking life of child a whole new ball game.
If he would have tried it here he would had a lot quicker end most down here are armed and don't like criminals endangering our kids.
Of course we don't stop the drug pushers or gangs so guess we'er no better when it comes right down to the nitty gritty.
 
He never had a chance to resist. The carjacker got caught in traffic and could not move, allowing for the dad to catch up to him and begin pulling him out of the car. That’s when the others joined in and decided to take justice into their own hands.

Mob justice or mob violence? Neither one is or should be accepted in today’s society.

I seriously doubt that a MOB could not have restrained the man without killing him.

The suspect may have had a pre-existing health issue that made the struggle fatal - as happens frequently with police officers making an arrest.
And, it doesn't matter to me. If I caught up with someone who kidnapped my child, I wouldn't need a mob; he'd be dead long before a mob got to him.
 
Glad to see that we have another keyboard kommando with delusions of Rambo among us.
