PBR check this out!

PHILADELPHIA - A mob of angry neighbors who beat a child-rape suspect won't be charged, police said. In fact, two of them may get a reward.

Commissioner Charles Ramsey said he made the decision based on the fact that the man's head and face injuries were not life-threatening, his determination that the neighbors' intent was to bring the man to police and the high level of emotion in the community after the girl's brutal attack.

About a dozen residents pummeled Jose Carrasquillo, 26, for several minutes Tuesday. Cops arrived and arrested him on an outstanding warrant; Carrasquillo was released from the hospital yesterday into police custody, but he has not been charged in the rape.

Ramsey, who reviewed surveillance video, suggested the incident amounted to a citizen's arrest.

"These people saw him, he attempted to run, and they caught up with him," Ramsey said, adding the beating stopped when cops arrived minutes later. "If the injuries had been severe, maybe we'd have to rethink it."

American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Mary Catherine Roper said, "It's shocking that the police are not going to do anything in response to what is essentially mob violence against this guy. This went beyond apprehending the guy."

Philadelphia's Fraternal Order of Police chapter offered an $11,500 reward, and president John McNesby said two people who helped nab Carrasquillo will split the money. McNesby said he doesn't condone violence but that they should be commended.

Looks like there is more to this story than was originally published.  Although I don't understand the thought behind a "citizens arrest" if the police didn't issue a warrant for his arrest in the first place for the rape.

Light that lamp, it's Friday and we are one day closer to summer which means we are one day closer to D3 football season. I'll light the lamp with an early pre-season prediction:

2009: Union-35
           RPI-17

*Unfortunately I don't see the Dutchmen kicking again field goals agian this year, hence the 35

yeah its amazing to pbr that this dood would even come out onto the streets after the police were in the neighborhood for hours passing out flyers w/ his picture on it. he had a set of brass ones to come out and show himself and walk down the street like a bad azz...well the nice thing is neighborhoods lookout for each other and when they saw him walking down the street to go hang on the set of steps he sat on everyday they delivered a beat down....let alone how prisons do not like child molesters and the next beat down he gets in prison will probably be the last...what he did to this 11 yr. old in a back yard for hours turns pbr's stomach....she has had a couple of surgerys to correct all the damage he did to her let alone psychologically....all for just walking to school after dropping off her 8 yr. old sister.  This dood has 12 prior arrests including assault, sexual assault and had rape charges dropped several months ago. This city just wants to pummel this guy.

Quote2009: Union-35
           RPI-17

Don't see it .... at least a Union win by that margin.  For all the talk of how young Union was last year RPI has a boatlaod of skill players returning plus their entire O-line. Except for their D-Line, (lost 3 very good players) they return everyone on D.  I think they have 15 or so starters returning plus get back a LB that may have started last year but was lost in the first game.

If any of their QB prospects plays well and they can find a few replacement studs on the D-Line early on, RPI may make it 4 in a row.

Not gonna happen Stim. Robertson is gone. Last year Union was young and will be much more mature come September. Last year I actually expected RPI to really handle Union and that definitely was not the case. A few bounces and last year could have been very different. I feel the Dutch come in as LL favs with Connelly, Gaurrier, and especially Coney. I think we are going to see a reversal of fortune here and unless RPI starts running the ball down everyones throat this year I just don't see them taking the Dutch.

I know it's only 11:45am...but a Landshark has been cracked... Happy weekend fellas...Light it up...

Not suggesting the Dutchmen weren't young.  Anytime you start a freshman @ QB  and Soph RB you are going to have your ups and downs. 

RPI however had 4 Soph and a Jr on the O-Line last year with 4 of the starters seeing their first playing time.  A Soph running back who was 2nd team LL, two Soph receivers with 108 catches and 1400 yards combined (one 1st team LL) and only 3 seniors on D.  They were/are "maturing" as well.

Coney is a good back, Connelly looks like he can play and Gaurrier has been productive but inconsistent (29 catches in 9 games < 500 yards?).  They will miss the TE as a receiver and blocker and must find some replacements for Romano, Catalano, and Morello... geez can't you guys recruit any Irish?

Re: Last year (like the year before) the game was a few breaks from going either way.  The way it should be!

Connelly is a nice Boston bred Irish kid......

Touche.. my bad.  However between Union and RPi they could fill a boat that originated in Naples and pulled into Ellis Island.

So Reg.....

How is the mulch situation out there in the midwest? Still bagging it?  I bring this up because after buying 5 bags to see how much I was going to need around my house, I ended up buying 2 yards (not bagged) and still could have used an extra bag or two.

dood...pbr will say it for reg ...what is this amateur hour? come on come to the LLPP for the 411... you will need a minimum 4 yards of triple ground...which color depends on your house colors...plus to get it delivered most companies will require to buy at least 4 yards. that way you can put it on heavy and possibly even skip next year. do a solid weeding and put the weed/feed down before the mulch...at least this is what the landscaping crew does at pbrs crib as pbr lifts cold ones watching them...

HA!  But PBR, I think Reg gave me some ish last year for not using bags!  4 yards!?  Did you buy TO's old house?  Or are you renting it?  I see TO is having some problems up in Buffalo renting a house.

And JU has a truck so he went to get it at the place.  Needless to say the Tundra was overflowed and almost spilled over on the way back to the crib!  I was that a-hole on the highway that day.


_{After mulching, JU goes out to buy some used tires for his backyard demolition derby....}

Nah dude, Reg bought 5 yards last year.....and that covered our new landscaping in the front and back and the front beds.  Didn't do the side.
I am really disappointed with the color holding on the mulch I put down in the last fall....the color has really faded.  I will do new mulch next spring.  I used the good weed fabric, so the only weeds are right on the mulch itself and only take a sec to pull.

5 bags barely does around one tree.....

What color mulch Reg, red?  Im under the impression that the treated mulch that you can buy by the yard isn't too much different than the bags.
