Hope he,gets prison time. and never ever be allowed to have a animal again .
Thank you Thank you Thank you too all who rescued this innocent dog.
THIS!!!! is what the ASPCA SHOULD be.
Good. I’m proud of what they did.
“Yeah, it’s a little much… 😕”…. me: a little?
But you never do this for when the police or others are abusing people… Not dogs
Its ok to defend dob but not ok to defend itself. Kyle Rittenhouse…
Not seeing the downside
All this for a dog but nothing for aborted babies
What f
I agree with the prosecutor. It is one thing to utilize violence to rescue a dog, but once pooch is safe, there was no justification to continue beating him.
The dog seemed to bask in her arms.
Good on bashers 👏👏👏👍
Whenever people witness a scene of someone harming something so helpless like that little dog it sparks a reaction that is primal. It’s a reaction of fear and anger mixed together. Anger of the act itself and fear he may become aggressive to someone else. You also see this in pack animal behavior as well.
Good !!!! Glad yal did something
New heroes of mine, all of them. ❤
upside down world
Good Tools
No sympathy for people that harm animals or children. No love for those who defend such people either, like the new Supreme Court affirmative action hire does. 😡
Charge all of them
Why don’t they do that to Michael Vick dmx or Roy jones jr when see them ? Well dmx is dead however all of them are dog fighters ! I bet they all would ask for a picture and autograph though ! The man hurting the animal was mental no animal should be abused but If some dirty mutt even puts a scratch literally on me or my daughter I’m kicking a field goal with that fur ball don’t blame me blame the owner of the dog I don’t owe that dog a dam thing !
The average person is ogre lvl stupid. I’m beginning to hate humanity
That’s good he deserves it for what he did was not right. Bring him to justice.
this has got to be the stupidest story I have ever seen. Only in California
He abused an animal okay detain him until the police come, you don’t stomp or assault the man with a weapon, that is just as unacceptable as the man abusing a dog. But hey its people, people being people, don’t give a fudge about humans, but will move heaven and earth for an animal. I know people think what these people did was acceptable, but it was not and will never be acceptable.
Well done fellas…
Dog rights are above human rights. Are dogs your parents?
!!! I support this 100%. God Bless the protectors of children, the elderly, handicap and my and my absolute favorite since I was 3 – animals 💜💙💖
the citizens conducted there own investigation and found themselves of no wrong doing
What about those pigs that suffer theyre whole lives before they get slaughtered I don’t see anyone beating up the employees at farmer johns lmfao
So it is now o.k. For assault and battery to human beings? This world is lost.
These nutty men don’t even protect other humans this way……weird.
Lower animal … versus … HIGHER ANIMAL (HUMANS) KILLING FIELDS BY BAD POLICE AND EACH OTHER … where is the IDENTICAL compassionate humane energy … c’ mon mirrors … BREAK !!!
Not one comment about race white versus black bs. This was good against evil.
SHE WAS IN SUCKER PUNCH….I LOVE HER
Cocolos again………..
Good! if he is so tough to hit a dog let him fight men!
Animallovers are weird, the man clearly has mental issues, just take the dog away and move on
Have the police done that people be screaming police brutality.
Big human being beaten on a little dog like that.shame on you.
Execute animal abusers. Period.
Not enough beating.
Wow… com’on life lessons good stuff
Multiple races beating up an a****** this is what America is about 💯
YES. More of THIS.
Good job citizens , thank you .
This is how people should treat cops who overstep their authority and violate citizens rights
Street justice is the only way to go now because there is no more justice in the court rooms anymore
Lmaooooo
Okay…where were all these “rescuers” and their supporters when Chris Rock got slapped?
Lmao shows us as how we see each other. We have more empathy for the well being of the dog than we do Asian elders getting attacked on our streets. Wtf?!?
KUDOS TO THOSE WHO HELPED! THAT MAN DESERVED TO GET WHAT HE GOT!!!!!!!
Good job. Maybe if more people stepped up and did this for all crime this country would be better again. Anyone that could do that to a little dog needs more of a beating then he got.
Looks like an opportunity to get rid of some of that 2020 tension nothing more.
*Educational adjustment* 😁
Now let’s do that with all the store, car and other thieves & robbers.
Animals defending Animal against another Animal. Nature is Complex 🤔
Why doesn’t the world have a reset button?
🤷♂️ it’s just a dog
And then all those people who save that dog are going to go home and eat chicken and steak tonight. Real animal lovers.
Over a dog!!! When if it was human on human they all would’ve had their cell phones out recording & posting!!!!#SICKENING
It’s odd how people react to dogs.
Ok Libs…I need this same type of energy for true injustice. Like convincing a 12 year old boy that he can be a girl…
ok so you idiots value a dog over human life wow
dogs are innocent. ppl are not
“The dog disrespected him…” I’m dead.
New owner is much cuter
The dog disrespected me.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not always the way to show someone the right way. I had to remind my wife and stepdaughter, who screamed at my toddler son to stop screaming, that they were just demonstrating that screaming was something to do to impose one’s will.
Did the definition of “Citizen’s arrest ” change? I didn’t know it allowed some to get swarmed and assaulted.
All those people assaulting the guy should be charged and jailed too.
I’m okay with this, the beating was temporary superficial pain from what I saw, with no lasting damage except to his sense of entitlement.
Beware Deplorables.
I wish I was there.
A society is doomed when animals are loved more than a human being!
It’s say a lot about mankind when men will protect an animal before they do the same for another human being in peril.
That was justice, awesome
I hope the dog ok.
Thank you for saving him
And stepping in .
Justice has been Served thanks to the Good Samaritans of LA!⚖️
Alright thank you for saving the dog.
Boi!! got stomp😵
Isn’t that girl in movies?
Citizens arrest LAPD style
Yes! Heros
If only white people cared about racism as much as they care about dogs.
We got this, let’s defund the police.
That bmw m8 tho🔥
⛈️
yeah yeah YEAH, that guy got what he deserved , they need to fix people like him so he can’t have any pets and or children he most likely would abuse children as well.
I like it when the cops use discretion by not arresting those men for teaching a little lesson.
Hahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahha
EXCELLENT JOB! They should receive a medal from the Mayor and the White House.
Legal action should be JUSTICE SERVED
Wish I was there… so glad they gave him some instant karma… thanks guys for giving him a lesson even though he may never learn how to treat an animal. You guys should be rewarded for taking care of the situation
Those people are disgusting
I wish people were like that in NYC instead they watch
Some people will never understand that with dogs. Just because they don’t walk upright. Wear backpacks! Walk smaller animals than themselves on a leash! Doesn’t mean they are not as intellectual or in some situations more intellectual than the one walking them on the leash! When dogs are kicked or hit or even Verbally mistreated such as being screamed at or even called something outside of there name with a certain tone! And you can see that they understand! Just because there is no physical damage or injury doesn’t mean there is none. Anything that one does to dogs whether it be lovingly or rewarding or simply stern to aggressively mistreating dogs through physical abuse. Always reflects in some way on the dogs spirit! When you abuse dogs it may not happen on the first instance of abuse because dogs are forgiving but they are not forgetting! and at some point you will break the dogs spirit! And when you break your dogs spirit! You will never mend it back! You can give the dogs to someone else and if they are who the dogs should have belonged to instead of you! Then over time they will be able to earn back the dogs trust and maybe even there loyalty! But there spirit will always be broken! If you go back now and read this again! Only the next time when you come to the word dogs change it to Horse’s And the same goes for them! They are just like big dogs! It would have been awesome if when the universe was first created! If there had also been created a universal law of nature stating that if you break a dog or horse’s spirit! At the same exact moment that the animals spirit breaks! So will the neck of the one who broke it! People would treat them better i think!
It’s called just being fed up with all the lawless Ness that’s going on it had nothing to do with dog people are just fed up hope thisbis the start of taking back the security that we use to have here
This was justice brought down from Gods hand working through those men on behalf of the poor abused dog. God sees everything and that man got some of what he deserves!!!
Wish we all cared with that passion for the fetuses being abused too. 🤧
Good job people!.. Just keep that same energy when you see police beating people for no reason
More people need a good beating
