He was beat to near death on the scene when he lured a 5 year old girl away from a picture with santa line into a side hallway where "mall rats" heard the girl screming and beat him to the point where he later died in hospital. A Custodian found him bleeding on the floor.
3 persons are in custody after one came forward. charges are pending, but will be lienient cause of them only wanting to help the child, and not meaning to kill the man who they did reconize as the pedo that was released not long ago. (made the front page of hte paper her)
Police are urging parents to keep a close eye on their children, and warm them about strangers.
Personally this makes what he got more deserving. He should have never been released.
I dont think (hope) charges will be very severe if any are layed at all. but time will only tell.
Guess the law does catch up, hope it still works to the way I think it should though, and these persons only get a slap on a wrist. but come to think of it, they werent named, so could be minors themself (or maybe I missed where they were named?).

If what you just posted is how it went, the guys who killed him should go free since they were in fact just trying to help a child, and it wasn't a random or premeditated act of violence or vigilantism.
The guy didn't deserve to die for it, but he should never have been released in the first place.
Ofcourse, there's also still the possibility that the story about the kid turns out to be made up.
