If i saw a grown man pinning a young girl on the ground, im going to kick him in the head as hard as i can first, and ask questions later. I can't think of a single reason that he would be justified in doing that.
A vicious kick in the balls would be a good alternative.
That's what all the child molesters say, when they get caught on video pinning down a child. Where would a child get enough money for eggs?
What a great way to make sure your house and car continue to get egged, more aggressively and more regularly to boot.
He thought the girl was throwing eggs at his apartment. What a loser, tell the landlord to do something about it, it’s not even his property.
Florida landlord caught pinning down...girl gets life in el Salvador.
Psychopath.
The Deregulated Florida Oblast has many fine fucking residents.
Egging? Who the fuck can afford egging?
Once you become a woman, you get one egg every month...but its tiny. And you'll bleed a ton and get cramps. God....yeah that looks good!

He should've stood his ground and shot her. /s
The city confirmed that Mutu started his job as a parking enforcement specialist last week, with an annual salary of $42,078,40.
"He is currently suspended while the situation is under review," a city spokesperson said
"I'm a police officer, comply with my orders immediately!"
"Fuck off, meter maid!"
Yeah, that was what jumped out at me too. Paul Blart got his first whiff of authority, and immediately jumped straight to police brutality.
Shitbird thought he was a cop now and didnt have to follow any laws.
Nope.
ngl, I assumed he was a cop based on the headline
That was my favorite part
A Florida man ran down and pinned an 11-year-old girl he suspected of egging his home in a "reprehensible" confrontation that was caught on video, authorities said Monday.
In Texas, it's legal to shoot someone egging your house, as long as they're doing it at night and you have a reasonable belief that you can't otherwise safely stop them. Egging a house is criminal mischief.

Texas Penal Code - PENAL § 9.42. Deadly Force to Protect Property
Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by FindLaw Staff
A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41; and
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or
(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; and
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.
EDIT: Also, where are all these people in Florida getting affordable eggs to egg with?
Eggs at Aldi in Florida are under $4.50.
9.42(2)(B)'s last word "and" makes it clear to satisfy the statue one must:
-Satisfy 9.41(1);
-Satisfy either 9.41(2)(A) OR 9.41(2)(B); AND
-Satisfy either 9.41(3)(A) OR 9.41(3)(B).
That reading effectively reads the final requirement out of the text or presumes some extreme fact pattern that was not mentioned.
AND the land cannot be protected by any other means or is considered a substantial risk of serious bodily injury to the person shooting them.
Firmly believe every judge would rule an 11 year old with eggs does not fulfill those requirements and therefore would likely be charged with manslaughter of some sort.
Now... If they set foot inside their house, that might be a different story. Eggs I don't think would be considered breaking into a house/vehicle/property
I think you are only considering a WHITE 11 year old. And I think you are dead wrong.
Can't tell at night. Could be a short MS-13 member with a gun who's egging the house. Even if you see they're an 11 year old girl, she could also be a MS-13 super soldier.
~~So they can shoot you in the back as you're running away. got it.~~
edit - See u/LifeInMultipleChoice comment

Yeah I've heard enough
With this behavior from that guy, maybe there's a reason his apartment is getting egged!
The safety of our children is non-negotiable
As long as the 2nd amendment stands, nobody has a right to safety in USA. The 2nd amendment simply doesn't allow such a right.
So yes the safety is non negotiable, because you can't negotiate safety when the default is that everybody is allowed to own and carry deadly weapons.
Oh, fuck off. The 2A is needed now more than it's been in decades.

The second amendment was never intended to be used by citizens against the government. That is a lie cooked up by pro-gun people purposely misinterpreting history.
The second amendment exists because Madison didn’t want a large standing federal army, fearing it would put too much power into the hands of the federal government. Instead he wanted the nation’s defense to be handled by state militias.
That’s why it specifically talks about militias.
He changed his tune after the war of 1812 showed him the value of a standing federal army.
The government had no intention of being overthrown by its citizens if they decided the government was tyrannical. They put down multiple armed rebellions in the early years of the nation.
Well according the the people alive when Madison created the 2nd amendment, you're incorrect and it was also in there to be a checksum against the federal government. But I'm sure you're interpretation is more correct than theirs, right?
satan. it looks like she is facedown. wtf. 11 years old. you could just hold her arm till the cops show.
She egged a house, she didn't assualt someone. Fuck let her go, she is a kid and they do this shit. Grab a hose and wash the shit off.
grabbing a kids arm and waiting for the police or the parent is not that big a deal. tackling or being on top of them is. someone would have easily grabbed me for doing something like this as a kid or now in my area.
And he's not in jail? What more do you need to consider this man a danger to society?
Serious question, what are you meant to do when kids vandalize your shit, cops don't care and you don't know the parents?
EDIT : Not defending the guy, just poor social skills to begin with.
I had a kid who lives a block over egg my house a few years ago on Halloween. A few weeks later I saw him riding his bike and stopped him and just asked him not to do it again because it was a pain to clean properly. He apologized, thanked me for not yelling at him and then laughed when he saw my house that hasn't been power washed in years with just a few clean spots where his eggs hit.
Now he comes over every week and plays soccer with me and my toddler and helps us with yard work in the summer.
A little bit of human decency and talking to a kid like they're a person can go along way. Kids aren't stupid, they just don't know a lot of things.
Damn, that's actually really heartwarming
Well, first step is to make sure you aren't going after the wrong people. 🤷♂️
Also: this dude is defending his apartment complex? He doesn't even own this shit, most likely isn't responsible for cleaning it, either.
So why the fuck does he think he needs to be involved and to solve this through physical violence?

Significant money placed on stupidity combined with a corporal punishment upbringing. What are the odds he’s also a Republican?
Personally, I would try to get a clear photo of their face and then I would use social media to hopefully find their parents. They would have to be egging my house a few times a week though tbh, it's a lot more work then just power washing it away.
A garden hose?
But he didn't shoot her, so there's that.
"We like the cut of your lawless jib, asshole! How about a job?" -Bondi probably.
