Hopefully he was actually the perpetrator. Perhaps a little more due process was in order.

So they desecrated her grave with the writhing bones of her rapist, a reprobate adolescent. Nice. Not.

[beef]

I'll bet he doesn't do that again.

[Mouton]

Well, case closed and filed I guess. More than likely this would have been the jury pool so they voted sans trial.

[DoughtyOne]

I’d like to say, “That works for me”, as long as the guys are guilty of major crimes. Unfortunately this can’t go on long before some crowd kills the wrong guy. That would be a shame.

Good thing Marco Rubio wasn’t around....he’d give the rapist murderer amnesty.

Good thing Rick Scott wasn’t around...he’d have Angela Corey try to lynch all the villagers

[P-Marlowe]

Buried alive?

Is he dead yet?

[iontheball]

It must work wonders for deterrence.

I’m going to take a wild guess here-—recidivism is probably not much of a problem in that locale.

[ScottinVA]

This is communist Bolivia, led by Evo Morales. The fact this guy didn’t get a trial is rather troubling.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

You are right. These stories sound good until you learn that the guy they killed in such a horrible manner really wasn’t the rapist.

[John O]

Part of me is aghast at this with the thought that he might have been innocent.

But the other part of me is standing on my chair cheering out loud assuming that the villagers proved he was guilty and then performed an exactly perfect execution.

If we did more of these in this country we’d have less crime. Every murderer should be buried alive under their victims casket (but give them enough air to last a couple days and think about what they’ve done. Who knows maybe they will repent and ask God for forgiveness)

[Alex in chains]

I bet that deep down he’s a really good person.

[ryderann]

This is a very small village. The citizens KNOW who the culprits are. They’ve seen them/lived next door/watched them grow up. Every nasty little trick they’ve pulled is known to the citizens.

[outofsalt]

I’m sure he was turning his life around and was a good boy deep down.

[Dubh_Ghlase]

You can say what you want about the humanity of the action, but public executions (particularly graphic ones) will stick with (and deter) someone who might consider a similar criminal act.

I submit the story of "Black Jack" Pershing, who supposedly executed Islamic fighters with bullets dipped in pig blood and then buried them under the pigs carcasses, but let one go free to tell the others. Agree or disagree, the report was there were no further "problems" in that area.

War is hell, and you gotta hit them where it hurts so they'll remember and think about it next time. They are doing it to us, so turnabout is fair play in my book...

[RedWhiteBlue]

Stories like this come out of Latin America from time to time. It probably happens in remote areas more often than is reported.

The issue is (IMO) is that when a horrific crime occurs, the laws there do not allow for the death penalty. The citizens know that the perp will be in prison for only a few years and then will walk free, so they prevent the police from taking the perp into custody and take justice into their own hands.

Let’s just hope he was actually the guilty party. Hopefully they knew something that wasn’t disclosed here.

[cunning_fish]

I heard it was an ancient Ukrainian cossak tradition to put a live murdered under a victim’s coffin.
