A man was dragged from his car by enraged bystanders and shot after he plowed a vehicle into a crowd in Los Angeles, leaving seven people critically injured and at least 23 others hurt outside a nightclub early Saturday morning, police said.

Cameras in the area are still being canvassed, but the incident appears to have been intentional, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Two law enforcement sources familiar with the situation said the suspect was kicked out of the venue for being intoxicated and disruptive.

    I would say death is him getting off easy, rotting in prison for eternity would be preferable.

    But you take what you can get

      People don’t “rot” in US prisons. For the right person it could be hell, but for most people, they just kinda get used to it over time and return to their base level of happiness. It’s not a great place to be but most people would prefer it over death.
