During the apprehension of Inga-Landi on Tuesday, Sauretti further explained that the man then kept on resisting and protested.

“He said, ‘Let me explain!’ I’m like, ‘There’s nothing to explain. You’re a rapist,’” she recalled to the outlet. “He said, ‘I don’t care.’ I’m like, ‘What do you mean you don’t care? You’re a rapist.’ He said, ‘I don’t care.’”

A group of other residents also reportedly got involved in trying to capture the man, such as a 67-year-old woman kicking Inga-Landi and taking off one of her shoes to hit him with it, the outlet reported.

      “After that, I ain’t gonna lie, everybody just started beating on him,” Flores added, saying they used a belt to tie up his legs.

      That warmed my black heart.

        The 67-year-old woman who started kicking him, then took off a shoe to beat him with… I want to be her when I grow up.

          These are the people that everyone thought wouldn’t convict Trump. Convicting a white collar criminal is an easy warmup compared to this.

    I didn’t realize the wanted poster had his photo until I scrolled down and saw it and I was like “Man, I hope it’s not mistaken identity…”

    But then:

    “The perpetrator has made statements, after waiving Miranda rights, where he indicated that he has a drug problem, that he found the knife that he used to threaten the two teens, that this was the first time he had ever done anything like this,”

    O_O

    This brings a tear to my eye. So happy, everybody rejoicing in the beating of a rapist. For the most part, I’m pretty pacifist but I thoroughly approve of this.

    I can just imagine the scene, a bunch of pissed off New Yorkers tackling and kicking a guy while other New Yorkers walk by thinking “only in New York” and some tourist starts losing their freaking mind.

      I hope so, but also I feel like the experience itself is probably worth 10 grand.
