Hah, police wanted to wait and get the perp's version of the events. That's rich.
when two guys end up on the ground almost dead due to being shot, stabbed and beaten by 15 people.... Yeah its not exactly shut and close.
A lot of people may want to sit there and high five the family because they "got the bad guy" but the fact is they ran AFTER someone who has just shot at them.... thats not an act of defense thats an act of stupidity. Catching up to them and beating, shooting and stabbing them isnt an act self defense its an aggressive act of violence and revenge. If these two guys had been shot by this woman as they robbed her then thats different, but this people ran after and then nearly beat to death two people in a mob-like attack.
What happens when they see someone on the street with a red bandana and decide to get that guy BEFORE he "does something wrong"? These people werent trying to defend anyone, they were just trying to get back at the two robbers for ALL the criminal activity they had been seeing lately.
