Car thief beaten to death

Picked the wrong car.

In Philadelphia this week, a man was beaten to death during the commission of a heinous crime, and police are trying to sort out exactly what happened, and whether and who to charge for the death of the multiple-priors criminal.
It began on Thursday night, as NBC10 in Philadelphia reports (see video below.) It was around 9pm, and a mother with young children stopped her car outside of a pizza place where her boyfriend, the father, was working. She left the car running as she went in to speak to the dad, and that's when a 54-year-old, apparent career criminal, identified by police as Eric Hood, stole the vehicle, speeding off with the kids inside.
The boyfriend, the father, pursued the car on foot, and caught up with the thief and kidnapper about a block away in traffic.
That's when the beating took place.
The moment was filmed and uploaded to Instagram, and portions of that video are shown in the NBC report. According to police and reporters, the father pulled the criminal, Hood, from the vehicle and began to punch and then kick him. Allegedly, bystanders joined in on the beating.
When emergency responders arrived, they found Hood unconscious and severely injured. He later died at the hospital.
At a press conference, officials advised citizens this situation could have been avoided, and to lock their cars, never leaving children in them. They have not charged anyone, but they are investigating and future charges are possible.
"I'm not a fan of street justice," said Philadelphia Police Capt. Jason Smith at the press conference Friday. "I think everything should play out through us as it comes to criminal actions."

Good riddance
Lol "police say this could have all been avoided" then go on to give advice about leaving running cars going.
How about this for advice? Don't steal shite or do stupid shite because you'll get what's coming your way eventually.

Thats horrible. Why call him a "thief"..how would that make him feel?? Call him an undocumented owner of the car. No human being is illegal.

Needs to happen more often.

I hate when cops say shite like that, as if the onus to prevent crime rests on the law abiding citizens.

They are just asking people to use common sense.
There are a lot of dickheads out there.

This is exactly like "You could have avoided getting raped if you didn't dress like that."

I have the same philosophy on this shite every time.
1. No, dude probably didn't deserver to die
BUT
2. When you choose to commit a crime against your fellow man, it is NOT that other dude's job to be "professional". IMV, EVERYTHING that happens after you make such a decision is your fault. Even if what happens is the other person reacts in a completely irrational manner.

Exactly.
“If you don’t want your home burgled, don’t buy a home.”
“Your car was stolen? You should have bought a car sized vault.”
I hate that shite.

I guarantee the perp has a rap sheet longer than a Dollar General receipt and LE wants to blame law abiding citizens for not securing their property.

Cops are generally worthless shitbags.

one less kidnapping dick head today
Posted on 7/13/19 at 4:53 pm to ShortyRob
he is a kidnapper

Change the title to kidnapper.
A car can be replaced. Your kids can't and it's the latter that makes it a justifiable homicide.

Dude chases down a car on foot and still has the energy to pummel the guy to death.
Respect.

Common sense is knowing that there could be serious consequences if you steal a car, especially if there are children in the car and you get caught...he would still be alive if he had not stolen the car...

Yeah, car thieves and kidnappers...

Hell
I'm not a fan of street justice.
But, I also don't expect people to react as if they are highly trained professionals when some dude tries to drive away with their children.
I suppose it would be nice if everyone could do this, but it's asinine to demand it of them!
