TURLOCK, Calif. (AP) - Authorities in Stanislaus County,
California, are trying to figure out why a man beat to death a
toddler last night on a country road.
Horrified motorists say they came upon a stopped pickup facing
the wrong direction. They say a young man was brutally beating a
child behind his truck and throwing the toddler on the ground.
Witnesses told authorities that when they tried to stop the man,
he just pushed them away and continued the beating. A sheriff's
helicopter arrived and a police officer shot the man to death.
Authorities are trying to find out the relationship between the
man and the child. A sheriff's spokesman says the toddler was so
badly beaten it will have to be identified through blood or DNA
testing.

I wonder if he was on PCP or something.

Notice he didn’t make it to the jail house. I wonder if his soul met the soul of that chid as they left their bodies…

I wish I were there to do something… sheild the little one, beat that man senseless… yet I know if the only option the police had was to shoot him dead to make him stop, then I could probably have done little to save the baby.

What in the world!! What in this monster’s sick mind led him to beat an innocent toddler. Whats even worse is that he was shot and didn’t live to face a trial, where a jury of his peers should be able to beat the mess out of him, just like he did to that poor baby.

This is why I could never be a cop, even if the guy had surrendered he would have never made to the jail house.

If I had come up on that scene, I would have found a stick, a tire iron or something to whack the guy with, but an elderly person probably would have been helpless to stop it. What a sad world we live in.
