Wow! I JUST read about the light sentence! 😐

I mean just fuck the Constitution

karma VIGILANTE

Well the rule of law is supposed to keep people like that off the street. It is what keeps normal citizens from needing to have a second job as batman to keep the city safe.

It seems he needed to be removed from the general population for good. He poisoned a teen girl BEFORE this. Prolly for rejecting him. Serial killer in the making....

Good

Great News! The Judges & DA's won't do anything, and people are getting fed up.

Karma is a bitch🤣

I guess justice was finally served.

Why make the topic sound like the two incidents are related when they arent?

Karma

LibbionFOX7 Those quotes from the victim Rachel are spicy, but fair.

Good

Justice has been served

Karma is a bitch.

God is good

Woke politicians did this.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was killed by a family member of his victims. I know if he killed my family he wouldn’t last long after his release. Oh MFing well

Lucky break for taxpayers and law enforcement. Public defenders are mourning the loss of future income.... Karma can be a real bitch.

I feel bad for the Parents, this is a tough situation to deal with. The absolute failure of the state to properly punish the teen for the first crime, sounds like it correlates to his death. Sad stuff.

Just think, if the punishment fit the crime, he'd be in jail, but not dead. Let's bring back common sense sentencing and stop letting criminals off with a slap on the wrist! Total bullshit!

This story is bananas. B A N A N A S

The LA prosecutor is as bad as Austin's Garza.

That's OK.

Bummer for him

Was it street justice or random act.

Street Justice

Nice.

c’est la vie 🤷🏻‍♂️

And that’s that.

Great news!

Proof not all hero’s wear capes

💀very nice

What comes around...

Karma is a BYTCH!!

Events in life are strange

Karma came back to hit him with a powerful punch. Nothing gets lost in nature.

Good

This is the kind of 'feel good' story we need more of from media outlets!

Nice

Karma is a bitch

That sentencing was ridiculous. These DA's are so inhumane.

JUSTICE AND EQUITY FOR ALL. HOPE HE GOES TO HELL

Whoa 😳. Good!

That’s when consequences catch up with a heartless criminal who wasn’t given appropriate consequences for stealing a car and the hit and run.

Ah Darwinism strikes again great to see!!

Gascon was a f up in San Francisco too. He is a coward

Street justice baby 😁

So many committing crimes that don’t get scared straight from the start (doesn’t always work but does often). Judges need to be equal and tougher across the board so innocent people that follow the laws don’t suffer.

Looks like justice was served in a different manner.

Karma

Justice served

Culture gonna culture

Karma

Aw

Simple Karma

Great news! Karma gets you eventually. I hope it was painful for him.

Street justice

Justice one way or another I guess

Did the baby survive?

Why did you feel it necessary to mention Gascon?

Good.

Damn

Sounds like the streets took care of that.

Justice has been served 👏🏼

I remember seeing her on that political ad

Good riddance! Anybody knows how the mother and baby are doing?

shout out to Palmdale

Saw that coming. Not the exact incident and demise, but we all knew that kid was gonna end up like this somehow. Such a shame. If he was in prison he would still be alive, ironic.

Absolutely love it👍

Good news

enriquehvera

ok, ok. 'The teen was already on felony probation for poisoning a high school girl's drink at the time of the hit-and-run – which surveillance cameras captured on Aug. 6, 2021.'

KMJNOW bigricanman OneTimeinSoCal Sal_LaBarbera

Gives me the warm fuzzies, although it’s still very sad for his family. I’ll bet he was *this* close to turning his life around, now Satan has him.

Sad for Mother and Infant, Prayers. 🌹

Karma right on time.

Lol. Good.

Vigilante justice May be coming back

Instead of punishing him severely for the initial crime, the soft on crime approach lead him down a path of continued criminality, eventually leading to his death.

Justice is served lol, if the state won’t punish for the severity of the crime then people will

Finally some good news.

Justice typically finds a way, though it may not be the usual route

Lol. Karma is a bitch.

Everything looks good here

Karma with the swish!

Mr. Bates was in York that day.

Justice is finally served 👏

Gee, that’s too bad.

Karma got his ass. Served justice, not by Gascón. I bet he’s gonna burn the shooters ass for killing his Poster Boy of his kind of justice served.

Karma is a bxxth and he didn’t deserve less. He was a parasite of the society so. Thanks Gascon for letting him out. The street took care of the poor Baca.

Sorry this is not the worse news I’ve ever heard. He could’ve killed those 2 innocent victims.

Reminds me of the Joseph Corrao karmic retribution.

Good.

Eye for an eye leaves the world blind

Karma

This warms my heart. I want to see more street justice

Perfect. Karma got him. Hope the same happens to those who get off so easy from any accountability. Happy weekend y’all.

It's not murder, it's the justice of God.

Justice finally served.

This is the same thing that is happening with my friend. Her son was killed by a murderer driving a car. Now the judge feels he only needs probation because the judge and prosecutor doesn't want the defendants death on their hands but are ok that he killed an innocent kid

What a shame, guess karma is a real thing

Did the baby die

... well , that's handy Harry.

Funny how that happens. Someone in the victims fam dished out some justice

Batman?!

Why did they use this photo?

It's nice to see something positive on Twitter

Justice Served

Justice served

Great day for Justice in USA!!!

Amen!! GeorgeGascon is now responsible for yet another death because if he had sentenced Kristopher Baca appropriately the dumb ass would still be safe in jail today latimes KristopherBaca elonmusk

You do wrong to me, I do wrong to you. It’s in the Bible!

Universe correcting itself. Wonder how is DA going to get his

Good. Sounds like justice caught up

Sad!

An eye for an eye

Good

Great ending.

Good riddance.

Gaston doesn't even know what Justice is.

Got what he deserved.

Vigilante justice sometimes needed when you have a corrupt system, and the inmates are over running the asylum!

Good

Awesome news-1 less cockroach!

I'm here for this. No sympathy or empathy here💯 Street justice prevails again🤷🏿‍♀️💯

It's called karma. What goes around comes around. Great story to start the weekend.

One less scumbag in the world!

I guess someone took care of that 😳

Was the child in stroller from initial hit and run ok? Can't find details

This kid already had a felony conviction, stole the car that hit this lady & drove off. Gascon charged him to Camp Juvie & not longer sentence at Juvie Hall. Gascon's light sentence was detrimental to the kid, his family & public.

Justice has been served

Street justice is still justice.

Oh geez… I feel so awful that this law abiding kind and gentle person isn’t with us anymore 🙄🙄🙄

No suspects 🙄

Another piece of trash gone for good. Too bad it didn't happen sooner.

This is what is called.....Karma to the fullest!!

Karma!

Awww, the world is just a little more at peace. RIP thug!

Define irony: Gascon’s policies got him off easy but ultimately were his death sentence.

Better call Paul

He got Gascon’d

Justice Served

KARMA'S A BITCH!

If Gascon had done his job, this guy would have been behind bars but all he got for the hit & run was 5-7 months probationary youth camp. And this teen was already on felony probation for poisoning a high school girl's drink at the time of the hit & run.

Every state should put black history in schools by law! Teach the truth instead of lies! The world needs to know the truth about the evilness white people did to our ancestors! Why hid the truth? What are you afraid of that you want to cut black history out of schools!

😆😆😆 good

The woman’s husband was “out of town” when boy was murdered

Justice was served!

By someone related to the woman and baby?

It is sad, but when you make really bad choices and nobody does anything about it, you continue to make them and eventually it catches up with you. Would he still be alive if he had been put in jail? Maybe

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣killed 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
