pearlpro · Feb 9, 2014

ST. LOUIS — A man who was accused of breaking into trailers at a St. Louis trucking company is dead after being beaten by employees who caught him.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Employees beat alleged thief at trucking company : News) says homicide detectives were called at 7:35 a.m. Sunday to Central Transport International, which hauls freight across the country.

Company employees told police they caught a man breaking into trailers, and a struggle ensued after he told them he was armed with a gun.

Police say three or four workers were able to subdue the man until officers arrived. No weapon was recovered.

The man was taken unresponsive to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Should not have been a thief.

Maybe they just wanted to kill him, then invented the thief storyline. ..

I agree with you. but it will take one of them to make a mistake when they are interviewed alone by the police

Death is a rather strong punishment for theft.

Yep, but it is just ONE of the risks when one chooses a life of crime.

Not in my Opinion................

If we would have MORE Death Sentences handed out NOT ONLY for Convictions in a Court of Law....but ALSO during Vigilante Justice Beatings..........for ALL Crimes..............then maybe......JUST MAYBE................the Crime Rates ALL ACROSS this Country will go down drastically.

Not knowing ALL the facts of this Case Yet.......We Don't know if the Death was caused by the Beating itself.......or cause the THIEF was in Poor Health and over-exerted himself while trying to get away from......FIGHTING WITH......his Subdue-rs.............I have NO ISSUE with this Death in any manner.

Either way........He's DEAD now......and the Streets of St Louis are just a tad bit safer from overall Criminal Activity now.

What would you do if someone tried to rob your house? Let them? Call the cops and HOPE they show up? Believe it or not, the IS NO RIGHT TO STEAL! There IS a right to protect your property from being stolen.

IF I am IN my home, and it is invaded for ANY reason, I will take the scum out. PERIOD. Outside I would attempt to stop them from stealing my RIGHTFULLY owned property, which they have NO right to steal, without shooting, IF POSSIBLE. In the end, too bad.

The problem is that criminals are more valued than law abiding citizens.

That's just stupid.

REALLY? Look around, we are about to REWARD 12 MILLION criminals with citizenship. To do that we will CUT the benefits of people who EARNED them and GIVE that money to those criminals who slither across our borders under the cover of darkness, like the slime that they are. They will get SS, without having paid into it. They will get subsidized medical care and free educations.

The SAME scum that are pushing that are doing EVERYTHING in their power to TAKE AWAY rights from law abiding citizens.

We, the American public, are the 600. They/them are our Congressman and Senators with shot and cannon.............we may not return before its over

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
‘Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!’ he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
‘Forward, the Light Brigade!’
Was there a man dismay’d?
Not tho’ the soldier knew
Someone had blunder’d:
Their’s not to make reply,
Their’s not to reason why,
Their’s but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d;

Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash’d all their sabres bare,
Flash’d as they turn’d in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder’d:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro’ the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel’d from the sabre-stroke
Shatter’d and sunder’d.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro’ the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade ?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder’d.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

What, final? Death is final! Things can be replaced, a life can't. He was a thief, not a killer. And to top it off, HE WAS UNARMED!!!! Geeezzzzzzzz !

According to the article they were under the impression that he was armed. How would YOU stop a thief? Is it OK to let a thief steal? It only hurts us all when thieves steal. It is an invasion of our privacy, our homes, our security. It cost us BILLIONS every year in this country and a fair amount of our rising insurance rates is due to theft. What is your solution?
