AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Police on Wednesday were pleading for witnesses to help them track down members of an angry mob that beat a man to death after the car he was riding in apparently struck and injured a child.
Investigators were struggling to piece together what happened when David Rivas Morales died Tuesday defending the driver from members of a crowd. There could have been anywhere from two to 20 attackers, Austin Police Commander Harold Piatt said.
The car in which Morales, 40, was a passenger had entered an apartment complex's parking lot when it struck a 2-year-old boy, Piatt said. The boy was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver got out of the car to check on the child and was confronted by several people, Piatt said. When they attacked the driver, Morales got out of the car to protect the driver and was attacked as well. Police said no guns or knives were used.

I don't see how the two are connected, since road rage happened before the war (as well as things like Columbine and other insane incidents of rage)

I am just saying many American's are frustrated because the Troops need to come home.
BUT, Still people need to get a serious grip and not beat the crap out of some one.

Same here! :hi5:
Our rule has always been, they can say whatever they want when they turn 18. I still never hear Bre swear.

Re: This is just messed up...
Maybe the kid ran away from the parents (or caregiver) for ten seconds.
Maybe the poor dead guy (he was a passenger????) should be the 1A concern and finding the whackos that beat him to death should be the 1B concern.

Even though I do not have little brats of my own, I am smart enough to know that things can happen in an instant that are not easily preventable.

Right - the parents should have had the kid locked in his cage. We've been through that.

Kids try to run off all the time. Parents can yell at them to come back and watch out for cars and stuff and hope they come back. But a lot can happen in those few seconds, not necessarily bad parenting.

Neither is a misguided, ill-advised war, unless the beatee is Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld.

But what you're missing is, we went to war in Vietnam because we were all still very angry about World War II.
