I agree. If they want to lynch the bad guys, that's fine with me -- wish I could help them. But when a crowd gets too emotional, bad things happen. I'd hate for them to attack or kill some hostage, based on a misunderstanding or something. That kind of "friendly fire" just makes the whole bad situation even worse.
As frustrating as it is to wait for courts to do their work, there's a reason civilized people try to work through a court process -- to protect the innocent, not to protect the guilty.

Harsh, but you might get my vote if I couldn't come up with anything more gratifying.

I agree that the court process is the right way to go and I always hope that here in the US we choose to go that route when things like this occur. But for most of Russia at this point from all I have read is the courts are a joke and very back logged. Russia has been teetering on the brink of falling into third world status for a long time. I cannot see them waiting for justice.. As much as I like to I cannot put The American way of thinking into the minds of the Russians...it is not the same situation.

Well, they could set up a military court if they wanted to, and sort out the bad guys from the others within days. I think that would be the right way to do this. But like you say, the competence of Russia officials is very poor -- like a third-world country. So trust and respect for the government breaks down, and crowds take over. I just hope they mostly lynch the right people -- not too many former hostages or innocent bystanders.

What a shame that Americans don't have similar intestinal fortitude.

The BBC is BIASED. Anyone with me on that? So to this BBC journalist this makes the lynchers vigalantes? Actually, to be a vigalante you have to have a HISTORY of killing criminals. This was just parents' rage. So angry parents are vigalantes and murderers are militants. BBC Journalists are weapons of mass delusion. What the hell is wrong with these people?
I've had it. I'm not putting up with any of this moral relatism crap anymore. If I here one person, friend or family, try to exuse these animals, I'm giving them an earful.

There is a time and a place for everything. This time it rare place and time for a hanging.

Lynching was entirely too quick and painless for him. I'm surprised the Russians didn't tear him limb from limb before lynching him.

I hope they killed the bastard.

So where in the story does it say the man was lynched? Actually from my fiance in Russia, he was lynched and THEN literally torn apart by the crowd.

Perhaps now the Russian people will demand that their leaders join the U.S. in exterminating these vermin from the face of the earth.
Maybe now they will demand that Putin give his support to President Bush.
Perhaps decent Muslims the world over will take a good, hard look at Islam and decide whether this is what they believe and whether this is a religion to which they want to look for guidance.

I guess lynching means killing by mob action, but not necessarily hanging.
To: Lurker
This action is not a good sign for the terrorists.
If the public starts retaliating .. bad news for the terrorists. It means the people are no longer afraid and the terrorists will have lost their edge.
This was a horrible thing to have happen, but maybe it will turn out to be a very good thing in the long run. Maybe it will begin a decline in hostage taking.
