This is mostly a rant, but what are your thoughts on crimes like this and the people (cowards) that commit them? What do you think should happen to these human slime?

The carjacker should get life without parole, the bystanders shouldn't be punished at all.
No just law would require the bystanders to intervene physically against the carjacker. Though the carjacker didn't appear to be armed, the bystanders have no way of knowing for sure that he's not armed. To legally require their physical intervention, is to legally require them to take a very big gamble with their lives. What just law would require such from a civilian who hasn't volunteered for such a duty?
