HankB said that.
It was the suspect who claimed to be hit in the face repeatedly by 15 people. Judging by the mug-shot, that seems exagerrated. The perp was detained, and by people who had nothing to gain by doing so. God bless them.
If the perv was slapped around some in the process, that is to be expected. Maybe it ain't perfect, but this was an unorganized group of amateurs. Given that, they did a good job, and a few knuckle-sandwiches are a hill just made for internet idealists to die on. There's not always a bright line between hitting someone and restraining them. And maybe they hit him a wee bit more than they had to. He's a big boy, he'll get over it. Can't say the same for a kid who gets targeted by slimy people like him.
