The mob didn't know at first what Roberto Bernal had done, but he was running and that was enough.
Dozens of men loitering on the sidewalk next to a supermarket kicked and punched the 42-year-old until he was bloodied and semi-conscious. After all, they had been robbed of cell phones, wallets and motorcycles over the years, and thought Bernal had a criminal's face.
Then a stooped, white-haired man trailing behind told them he'd been mugged.
The mob went through Bernal's pockets and handed a wad of bills to the old man: The equivalent of $5. They doused Bernal's head and chest in gasoline and flicked a lighter. And they stood back as he burned alive.
"We wanted to teach this man a lesson," said Eduardo Mijares, 29. "We're tired of being robbed every time we go into the street, and the police do nothing."
Vigilante violence against people accused of stealing has become commonplace in this crime-ridden country of 30 million, once one of the richest and safest in Latin America.

This is what socialism is like in real life.
A democrat on Fox last night said it isn’t fair to compare this type of socialism to Bernie’s type, they’re not the same.
The end results will be...
Coming to America...
I don’t care how much of an angel ABC makes him out to be...he was a thief.
Ping.
Someone told me the same stating that the Socialism here is not the same type of Socialism over in Venezuelan. What a moron!
The thug was not burned alive over $5. The thug was burned alive over mugging an elderly man. The physical injury and not the dollar amount is what matters when a predator harms an innocent victim.
Note: I strongly approve of the people solving problems when government falls short of fulfilling its duty.
If you do not want to have socialism come to America, vote for Trump!
Feeling the Burn
Socialism and social justice in action.
the breakdown of social order...this has been predicted over the many years...when they start eating each other, the end is near
Of course Bernie’s socialism is different. His socialism falls into the category of “guaranteed to work perfectly” — because his socialism hasn’t beeen tried.
The socialism that gets implemented always fails. But the socialism on the drawing boards is always much better.
Such a long article and ABC manages to avoid mentioning that the socialists have set Venezuela on fire.
It seems only fitting. There are people willing to Bern the US alive.
The United States has abundant natural resources and was once the richest and safest country in the world. Then came socialism. Now,the United States has one of the highest murder rates in the world, and it’s hard to find a person who hasn’t been mugged. SOON people will be living on the edge of starvation waiting hours in line to buy food..................Prophecy................
Kirsten Powers. I heard her argue with Bill O’Reilly. More like Sweden she said. Ya...
Socialism is Socialism, no matter what brand you buy: Communism, fascism, etc.
It has been tried in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
It has been tried by blacks, whites and Asians.
It has been tried by wealthy countries and poor countries.
It has been tried by bullets and by ballots.
It has been tried by well educated peoples and illiterate peoples.
It has been tried by religious groups and atheist groups.
It has been tried by industrialized nations and subsistence nations.
It has been tried by modern nations and backwards nations.
It has been tried by well meaning bleeding hearts and by self serving tyrants.
AND THEY ALL FAILED...............................
New and Improved Socialism!
