Texas Crowd Kills Man After Car Hits Kid      
Jun 20 11:55 AM US/Eastern
     
                                   
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A crowd attacked and killed a passenger in a vehicle that had struck and injured a child, police said Wednesday.

Police believe 2,000 to 3,000 people were in the area for a Juneteenth celebration when the attack occurred Tuesday night. The man who was killed had been trying to stop the group from attacking the vehicle's driver when the crowd turned on him, authorities said.

The Austin Police Department identified the victim as David Rivas Morales, 40. The child was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police spokeswoman Toni Chovonetz said she had no further information, including how many people were involved.

The driver was able to get away is cooperating with investigators, police said.

Juneteenth marks the day Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston in 1865 to share news of the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves two years earlier on Jan. 1, 1863.


HOLY CRAP!  I've hear about people doing nothing when a crime happens...but to kill a guy with a mob of people makes me remember the days of old where lynching was the hip thing to do.

Man bursts into flames after being shot by a taser gun
Last updated at 13:56pm on 20th June 2007

Comments Comments
Police are investigating the firey death of a man who burst into flames after dousing himself in petrol and then being shot with a taser gun.

Officers used the gun after the man had poured gasoline over himself.

Juan Flores Lopez, 47, died on Tuesday at a hospital in Texas.

Police initially used pepper spray when they tried to take Lopez into custody. Then they used the Taser. Some stun guns emit an electric spark when they deliver the jolt of electricity.

The Texas Rangers were also investigating whether a lighter that was on the porch could have contributed to the fire.

"We don't know what ignited the fire," police said.

No one else was injured in the confrontation. It was unclear whether Lopez had been charged with anything.

Two of his sons who live nearby said their father had been threatening for months to burn himself and his house. His wife was seeking a divorce and he did not want to have to leave the house, the sons said.


HOLY CRAP!  This is why officers need to not rely on tasers unless it's absolutely necessary.  I know officers who use them when a suspect just won't comply with what they are saying.  Instead of taking th energy to wrestle with them in a lesser method of submission they use their tasers.  I've read stories from these things causing death to being used on pregnant ladies, people in wheel chairs, 9 y/o's, and the mentally disabled.  However...to burst into flames!!??  Woooooowwww.

1.  It's good that the mob showed the guy that it is wrong to hurt another human being...

2.  I think YOU rely too much on wrestling with other guys, I mean all I did was say hey pat and you were trying to wrestle me to the ground...

However, in my defense, you did have those gold sparkling short shorts on and turned your back side to me and said "It feels like I'm wearing nothing at all...nothing at all...nothing at all..."

1) Wrestling with a suspect when you've got a gun on your hip is retarded.  If you want to play WWF with the bad guys, make sure you hand someone your handgun before you lube up and jump into the ring.

2) How many news threads are we going to have?!

Actually WWF is now the World Wildlife Fund...WWE is the correct anagram you want.
