Chile – an angry mob strip down a would-be-thief after
attempting to rob an OAP (Old Age Pensioner). According
to reports, Valentino Abeyta Barrera held a knife against
the throat of the old pensioner, in an attempt to rob the
latter.
Barrera was disarmed, then stripped naked, and tied to a
lamppost, as the angry mob film him. The 32-year-old
criminal was tied to the post with cellophane plastic, and
had his underpants pulled down.
As soon as the video was uploaded, netizens were quick to
start a debate if vigilante justice was the right way to
persecute the said suspect.
Police arrived after 20 minutes and asked the man tied to
the lamppost what was going on and he declined to
comment, asking only that he be freed. After he was
released and taken to the police station he refused to file a
complaint, and police said they had been forced to let him go
because the alleged victim of the man’s attack had also not
made a complaint. A police spokesman said: “Unless the
man who was tied to the lamppost or his alleged victim
want to file a complaint, there is not much we can do.”
Many believe that the application of vigilante justice is the
best way to deal with criminals for good. The people
wanted to put the law in their hands and apply what they
feel is necessary. But others do not agree with this, as
criminals have rights too.
Which side are you on?
