Hey, here's an idea. Let's all carry around crow bars and baseball bats everywhere we go. Then if we see someone being chased down the street we can chase after them as well. We'll just assume they are criminals, because the other people wouldn't have been chasing the guy/gal in the first place unless they were. When we finally catch them we'll hear the 'real' story from the pursuer and have justifialble reason to kick their ass.
This story is not funny, it's sick. Condoning any kind of vigilantie justice degrades us all. I would have no problem with the situation if they tackeled the guy and held him until the police showed up, but beating him up is not acceptable to me. It's a slippery slope folks. What next? Can a store owner keep a meat cleaver behind the counter and hack off the hand of a shoplifter?
I think the school girls should be charged with assault, although I doubt they will.
