1. Y all get one of those automatic nail sets- the spring loaded ones. Put it in the corner of the window and push. Works awesome.

2. All they needed was the video and his license plate. /shrug

   1. Agree, that is the sensible thing. But (explanation, not excuse) down here we are suffering an epidemic of Hit and Runs and people are just sick of it. So I understand it, but will not condone it as it is dangerous and stupid.

      1. The issue that always plagued Miami, just like California, is the unlicensed and uninsured drivers. They run because they don’t have insurance.

   2. And a pic of driver for good measure to rule out “someone stole my car crashed and returned it but the keys are in my pocket”

   3. Our illustrious police are too busy eating donuts to be bothered. Nobody got killed so not work the time.

3. So, just to play devil’s advocate……..when the guy started using the hammer on his car, would the driver have been legally able to use deadly force? While I enjoy seeing a hit and run driver getting a full dose of karma, I’m curious what the legality of the situation is. Legally were the people trying to stop the hit and runner driver allowed to do anything other than try to be good witnesses? I’m not trying to argue anything one way or the other. I’m just really curious how much worse this could have been.

   1. A lot, Hit and Run is not a forcible felony so use of deadly force is not warranted.

   2. Smashing on the car with a hammer is assault with a deadly weapon and the driver would have been justified in shooting the guy.

      He might even have grounds to shoot the man in the blue t-shirt who kept trying to gain entry into his vehicle.

      He might even, now, have a defense for leaving the scene because he was being mobbed by a group of angry people. A group that helpfully collected evidence of his need to flee the scene before he could call the police.

      Yes, a lie, but…

4. The driver has multiple convictions for dealing and using drugs, as well as 29 traffic tickets in the last 10 years. What does it take to get thrown in jail down there in Miami?

   1. Be a republican?

   2. Boris nailed it. Miami Dade State’s Attorney is Katherine Fernandez Rundle. She is was tutored and basically put in office by one Janet Reno.

5. The best part is the posse in pursuit at the end!

6. I think a better way to stop him from fleeing would be to disable the tires. You don’t have to slash the sidewalls, slicing or pulling the valve stems would work.

   What are the reasons for the big increase in hit and runs?
   Undocumented drivers?
   Failure to Prosecute?
