Illegals should be deported yesterday. Having said that, the dearth of law and order in Mexico (over 90% of murders go unsolved, and abductions leading to murder are epidemic) means vigilantism is the only way to get justice. Were the people burned innocent? That’s not actually clear. We presume innocence until proven guilty. Where the government fails to provide justice, the average Jose will presume guilt until proven innocent, since as someone who needs to work to feed his family he has neither the time nor the resources to do what the police aren’t doing despite being paid to do so.

Harsh exemplary justice deters whether or not the executed is clearly guilty. Is it truly just, when the innocent might be caught up in the net? Perhaps not. But in Mexico, where the justice system is chaotic and non-functional even by Third World standards, it may be necessary.

This doesn’t look all that “exemplary” however, when the ability to palm off your crime on some hapless, unwilling Pedro is quite easy. All that was seen was that the vigilantism victims were near a school. Did the crowd go looking for more such people?
