Jose Carrasquillo Man Beaten Over Girl's Rape In Stable Condition
Jose Carrasquillo, 26, has progressed from critical, to stable condition at Temple University Hospital after experiencing a brutal mob attack. Carrasquillo was badly beaten after his picture was shown by police for questioning in the rape of a 11-year-old girl in Philadelphia. A neighborhood mob took matters into their own hands after recognizing him and decided not to wait for formal charges or evidence. They just pummeled him. Police eventually arrived on the scene, only to arrest him on a unrelated bench warrant.
Interesting to note that no one has been named or charged in the vicious rape as of yet. Authorities are looking into whether to file charges against any of the neighbors,as of today no charges have been filed.
The girl in question dropped her sibling off at daycare,proceeded to walk to school when she was approached by a man who then started to walk with the victim, then threaten her.He took her to a nearby backyard and raped her repeatedly, authorities said.
Do you agree with the police sharing photos of possible"interested persons"when conducting a case?
Do you think there is a time when it's ok to take the law into your own hands?
Do you agree that Jose has rights, as a person,like me and you not to be violated despite his record of arrest that has been called out on the news and in print.
Questions I would like answered are:
Who will pay or help pay his hospital bill? What victim services will be provided to him?
I am not being funny, I am asking because whether Jose committed that crime in question he himself is now a victim and may be in need. I must admit and I am still thinking on why that was my first reaction upon learning of this unfortunate act,I chuckled and gave a personal silent head nod with a smile, not at the beat down, just at the fact that someone can feel so strongly and more importantly is willing to step up and out to do SOMETHING about it. now what they decided to do is wrong on many levels and accounts but I personally understand and can relate to the motivation behind it.
I hope that we are all aware that you can find many ways to channel your anger and outrage at the actions of someone else,but in life there may come a time when you sense of responsibility and your sensibility separate. To put it plainly,I think this was one of those times
