Tell me if you saw this one coming.

An 11-year-old girl is snatched off the street and brutally raped as she walked to school in Kensington.

Police first issue a composite sketch, then follow up with a press conference with a photo of a person they refer to as a “person of interest” in the case. They urge the suspect to turn himself in and seek help from the community.

They got it.

The suspect was spotted by a crowd as he walked along the street. You can pretty much guess what happened next.

We hear the laments every day of the culture of “no snitching” and a lack of cooperation police get from the community.

This is the other side of that coin. In this instance, the crowd took matters into their own hands, roughing up the suspect and holding him until police arrived.

He has not yet been charged in the rape. He is in critical condition in the hospital.

Justice? Vigilante justice? Probably yes, on both counts.
