Baton Rouge pair accused of failed kidnapping; see wild live-stream video made by suspects
Two Baton Rouge people were arrested late Sunday after they live-streamed on Facebook a failed attempt to kidnap a man who they later slashed with a knives and whose vehicle they purposely crashed into, police said.
Tony Green, 23, and Keeston Davis, 25, went to the victim's home in the 6800 block of Titian Avenue, where they opened the front door and unsuccessfully tried to pull the man outside, according to Baton Rouge police reports. They then busted the windows of the home and left.
"This incident was documented live and in progress on (Green's) Facebook page," an officer noted in one of the arrest reports.
Later, Green intentionally crashed into the man's vehicle in the 5000 block of Prescott Road, the reports say. Green hit the vehicle with a hammer before the pair attacked the man with knives.
Let's hope this sort of thing doesn't become a trend!!!
Is this like "self help". Live streaming is now a call for help maybe?
I'm not trying to make light of this but geesh - how fucking stupid are these people who commit crimes and then record it. This is madness.
I would also argue it shows premeditation.
The upside of a dumbed down society is that the criminals make it so easy to catch them.
This is two steps beyond stupid. Great evidence for the police provided by Mutt and Jeff.
This may be a revenge attack by two angry drag queens. They weren't trying to get away but instead appear to want all their friends to see them dragging the guy (or another queen) out of his house, breaking his windows, smashing his car, and slashing him with knives.
