That's really disturbing.
I feel horrible for the people at the scene that tried to help but couldn't do enough to save the kid because this is going to stay with them for the rest of their lives. I can't even imagine how horrible that must be.

While this kind of atrocity cannot, and should not go unreported, would it not be refreshing to have our media work as hard to report something positive in the news?
Maybe put a little "humanity" back in "human" to help offset this............deeply disurbing report

That's pretty much the worst thing I've ever read. At least the lunatic is dead. That poor child though... Ugh

Re: Officer kills man who beat toddler to death near Modesto

Those are great stories. Good find. It just seems like you hear less and less of this stuff and more negativity and horror stories from the media these days. I understand drama sells and money is what it's all about, but you just don't hear too many uplifting stories.

I think I'd rather not know that this kind of depravity exists in the world.

Unfortunately, I'm willing to bet that this kind of thing has been happening through the course of human history.
The guy clearly lost his mind for whatever reason, thinking that the kid had demons in him or some BS. I don't think that insanity is anything really new. People have been doing sick shit to one another all throughout history.

Re: Officer kills man who beat toddler to death near Modesto

I wonder why the witnesses didn't do more? That may not be a fair question, but if there is a grown man attacking a child, isn't it your moral obligation to put yourself between them?

This story makes me want to cry a little, probably because I've got a 20 month old so it hits home when you hear the word "toddler."

But I'm with you. Unless the guy has a weapon, I swear to God I'd go down myself before I'd stand by and let this dude do that. I think I've said it before around here, I have a visceral rage type reaction when I see people getting hurt who don't deserve it. Unless I saw a weapon on him. But if I didn't, I'm taking my chances. If the guy beats my ass until the cops arrive at least it's not a poor little kid. Pain is temporary, death is not.

Maybe the witnesses were elderly or female? (I didn't read the article)

Re: Officer kills man who beat toddler to death near Modesto

It's easy to second guess now. But given the fact that the cop needed to shoot this guy it tells me that any witnesses may have been in over their heads in trying to subdue this maniac.
