Two Robbers Burnt Alive after being Beaten Up by Crowd | |||||
2008-09-04 | |||||
Crime Does Not Pay - in THE ZONE! According to eyewitnesses, two armed men on a motorbike mugged one Mohammed Riaz and were fleeing when they were caught by dozens of residents of the locality.
This is not the first time that angry residents have torched alleged robbers to death in the city where everyday hundreds of people are mugged and at times are killed at the hands of armed robbers.

#8 This is what happens when law enforcement is unable or unwilling to protect the citizens. The robbers will be served vigilante justice, which may or may not be fair and orderly. Some are shot, some are beaten to death, some are flambeau. That is vigilantism. |

#3 I'm the farthest thing in the world from pro-mugger, but this is just wrong. |

#2 But still is barbaric - what's up with people from the third world and setting men on fire or splashing women with acid? We've had "incidents" like those in France, notably one where a (white) security guard at a mall was doused with gazoline and horribly disfigured by a mob of (black) youths, because they saw him as a "racist". Anyway, back on this one, trouble is, the mentality behind it is exactly the same that allows mobs to go on rampage in minorities neighbourhood, or to put bombs in "heretical" places of worship. "Cool" as it might be from a macho pov, this still is barbaric and primitive, and the symptom of a dysfunctional society. I have no prob with law or paralegal elements being empowered to deal with criminals in the harshest way (but beware whom the "law" terms as criminal, revolutions tend to produce weird and abusive definitions of that, just think of France or russia), but mob lynching is not an healthy response IMHO. |

#1 Certainly reduces the recidivism rate and keeps the incarceration expenses down. |
