[The teenager] she was just starting to fall asleep when Azami lay down behind her. She said she felt her pelvis “grinding” against her and that she wasn't wearing any clothes.”

For allegedly hitting Azami, Cromwell was slapped with his own battery charge and was expected back in court on March 19, while the sexual assault suspect was due to appear on February 20.

While Cromwell's connection to the victim was not confirmed at the time of this publication, the reaction on social media spoke to the growing sense of justifiable “justice” delivered by civilians in a culture where violent crime has flourished thanks to soft-on-crime policies.

When our justice system fails to enforce the law, it will unfortunately fall into the hands of the citizens.

The only solution to avoid as much violence as possible is for the government to do its job.
