Story here. Excerpt:

'Two Kensington men each received a $5,750 reward yesterday for their roles in the capture of Jose Carrasquillo, 26, who allegedly raped an 11-year-old girl on her way to school Monday morning.

"These guys stepped up to the plate," said Fraternal Order of Police President John McNesby, adding that $1,500 of the reward money was donated by a private citizen. "It shows it really hit the community hard. It's a good feeling [to know] he's off the street."

Investigators determined that two men from the mob of Carrasquillo's attackers, Fernando Genval and David Vargas, should receive the reward, McNesby said.
...
In response to controversy surrounding the beating of Carrasquillo before he was charged, McNesby said the FOP does not condone vigilantism, but that he has no problem with how Carrasquillo was apprehended.'

" McNesby said the FOP does not condone vigilantism, but that he has no problem with how Carrasquillo was apprehended.'" This statement reads like a contradiction. I have to wonder how he would have felt if this alleged rapist were a female and was apprehended in the same manner.

Are we reverting back to the wild west culture of the 1800's? Not only is their vigilante actions justified, but now law enforcement is pouring salt on the wound by rewarding them.

What are men doing aiding women?It's a bad habit we should rid ourselves of. One should no more aid a woman than separate two wild animals that are fighting over carrion.
