I read the story, but I think you are exaggerating some with the inch of his life bit. Inch of his life would be comatose, hospitalization, intensive care, attempted murder charges. He was able to complain that his phone was stolen, so I don't think inch of his life applies here. It is better to stick to facts, rather than sensationalizing stories beyond their actual importance. Were you one of the 2-million-dead scare posters in early coronavirus days?
Okay he was beaten up and had his phone stolen by the leader of this “zone”. And he is still alive.
That peaceable enough for you?
