Rough justiceColor me less than impressed at Mr. Pelayo's socio-legal indignation.
Even the neighborhood ex-cons who lounge against their cars all
afternoon at
the back end of campus are outraged. For all the sensitivity training
going
on, this is still a rough city - and there is rough justice.
"If we'd gone over there earlier, before it was over, those mother-
would
have been shot. For real," said 24-year-old Chuckie Pelayo, leader of a
pack
that hangs out at the corner of Hayes Street and Emeric Avenue, one
block
from the rape scene. "We've all been to prison, and we know the code of
how
you're supposed to behave. These younger guys, they don't know the code.
"Some of us know a few guys who were there, and we're out looking for"Out looking for them?" WTF, are we supposed to feel reassured that
them,"
Pelayo added, the others nodding. "They better hope the cops find them
first, because when we find them the same thing that happened to that
girl
is gonna happen to them."
some garden-variety street thug with a seriously deluded sense of
justice in on the job here?
in the other thread at the idea that all suspects -or even witnesses -
should have their pics published.

Were you *upset* when Richard Rameriz was *detained* by neighbors who had
seen his photo? Just curious.-
I was not even aware of it at the time.
Looking the case up, I fail so see what printing the pick of a suspect
explicitly in the hopes he be appreheneded has to do with printing
pics of minors in a case like this.
If someone is at large and believe to be evading LE? Different
situation.
Also you are talking about a serial killer vs say, a kid who may have
witnessed a crime. Little bit different.

It is also a matter of the end justifying the means. As a society we have to have a code to live by, and the presumption of innocence is an essential premise. This is where Michael's Duke think comes up, where those kids were villainized, their lives nearly ruined, by "well meaning people". It is important no matter how pissed we get to step back and make sure everything is fair and legal.
