Street Justice

Two students at Southern Illinois University kidnapped, paddled and burned a young man after a drug deal went bad. That's some Charles Bronson shit!

Madison County prosecutors charged Rosario James and Jordan Sallis with two counts of aggravated kidnapping and one count of robbery and aggravated battery.

Last Friday night, three men went to James' house to buy marijuana, but two of them grabbed the drugs and fled, leaving the third behind. The suspects held that man and told him he needed to find $400 for the drugs. James and Sallis beat the man with a wooden paddle, burned his neck and shoulders with cookies immediately after taking them from the oven, shaved off some of his hair and poured urine over him from a soda bottle.

That. Is. AWESOME!

The victim managed to escape and call police after the suspects drove him to a house in trying to get money for the drugs. There was no evidence that James or Sallis had been using drugs before or during the alleged torture, but there's plenty of evidence they were not going to get ripped off. Technically, they committed some crimes, but when you're doing illegal shit, I say the rules go out the window.
