Male Rape Suspect Beaten, Mob Not Charged

Story here. Excerpt:
Personally, I by no means condone rape, especially of a child. However, at the time of the beating, he was only labeled a "person of interest." He is now in hospital suffering from head injuries. Why is the mob not being charged? What precedent does this set? If I'm falsely accused of rape, does that mean my entire neighborhood can swing at me with baseball bats and get off? Excerpt:
'A mob of furious neighbors of an 11-year-old girl raped on her way to school in Philadelphia won't be charged for beating a man wanted for questioning in the case.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said Thursday that no charges will be filed against the group of about a dozen residents of the city's West Kensington section who attacked 26-year-old Jose Carrasquillo.
Carrasquillo hasn't been charged with rape but was arrested on an unrelated warrant. Ramsey said investigators have forensic evidence and witness identification placing him at the scene of Monday's attack.'

When people live in a world
When people live in a world of uncertainty and extreme relativism, ideologies step in to the legislatures and courts, and mobs into the streets. One of history's lessons someone didn't learn from, apparently.
