Police killed a 27-year-old man as he kicked, punched and stomped a toddler to death despite other people's attempts to stop him on a dark, country road, authorities said. (June 16)

On a rural road south of Modesto, California -- drivers stopped when they saw a horrific sight. A man - was severely kicking, beating and stomping a toddler to death. Several drivers stopped and called 911 SOT: modesto pd started responding to this call but the ground units were several minutes away from the scene Modesto authorities say a police helicopter happened to be in the area at the time of the attack.SOT: the pilot and the officer -- saw the assault in the air, and decided -- very risky landing. The officer approached the man, and authorities say he was forced to fire. The man died at the scene. The child was taken to the hospital, but later died. One witness says the suspect had been making comments about the child having 'demons' during the incident. Authorities say the toddler's injuries were so severe -- he will be identified through blood or DNA tests. Investigators are still trying to figure out whether the man was related to the child. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

1. O.M.G. What is wrong with people????

I just saw "The Happening", and hearing about crazy behavior like this freaks me out now.

5. They just sat there, calmly dialing 911? Why didn't anyone tackle the guy??

6. I would have grabbed the bike rack out of my trunk and WHALED on him.

The cops would have arrived too late to save him from me.

9. At least one guy did

"Passers-by calling 911 at 10:13 p.m. described a horrific scene 10 miles west of Turlock and 15 miles south of Modesto. At least one tried to stop the attacker, who swung and slammed the toddler into the asphalt and stomped on him behind his parked four-door pickup.

Dan Robinson, 52, the chief of Crows Landing Volunteer Fire Department, who jousted with the man before police arrived, said the attack spoke of “demons” in the child and had a "total hollowness in his eyes."

I know meth is everywhere these days, but the CA valley here is horribly thick with the stuff.

Poor child

Sounds like a meth head to me. I feel so bad for that poor kid, and his family too (though, they never should have allowed him around this guy).
