Vigilante justice? Or baiting a trap to bring victims to your front porch so you can beat on morons with a baseball bat for fun and Youtube traffic? Is it entrapment? Or simply flushing out the thieves that cruise neighborhoods to steal bikes?



Corey Cornutt, and Savannah Grillot, left a bicycle unattended between July and November of 2019, in their yard, to lure potential thieves and then recorded themselves beating them with bats, which they posted to YouTube.

The Visalia Police Department arrested them on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy in connection to at least four beatings.

Police say videos of the assaults were posted on YouTube, showing that the suspects appeared to plant a bicycle in the front yard of their home, unattended, and wait for someone passing by to stop and attempt to steal it.

When someone would try to make off with the bike, the suspects would rush from the house and assault the person with a baseball bat.

    1. nope. I got things to do.
      You look them up, you add the links in the comments.
      If you wonder why? Hit refresh on the blog and see the new content on Playmates, Shelby Mustangs, etc
      Like I said, I got things to do. If my post leaves you wanting more, just figure it's your homework, not mine. I posted everything I wanted to about the story, and moved on to many other things.
      Hell, I ended up looking through the 2016 death of the actor Anton Yelchin, the selector switch recall of the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the stuff you see I've posted since

  3. Idiots! Don't they know that entrapment and beating the shit out of people is the police's job? You can't go around doing that for free!
