Don't try it in North Royalton!

"The girl's aunt admitted to sexually assaulting Russo with a tree branch, police said.

The incident was caught on tape.

Meanwhile, police said that citizens should not take matters into their own hands.

"To take matters into their own hands like they did was just way, way beyond reason," North Royalton Detective Jay Drake said."


Yeah, well, so's going all peeping tom on a five year old. Me, I'd have ripped off his shrivelled unit, tied that to the tree branch, and then sexually assaulted him with it. Call me crazy!

Apparently murder charges may be filed if the loser dies. God BLESS the American system of justice!

Actually, I hope they do get charged with murder if he dies.

Is he a pathetic excuse for a human being? Yes, of course. Should he be punished for what he was doing? Yes, of course.

But the important thing to remember is that he is a human being, and human rights are for everyone. Saying it's okay to do something like this to someone because he's a pedophile just opens the door for all sorts of other justification.

There is a reason why vigilante justice is outlawed: one law for everyone. Whatever your crime, whatever your story, you get the same legal treatment (in theory, yes) as everyone else. That's sort of the whole point of having a justice system to begin with.
