For me it depends on the crime like the one you pointed out above dosent deserve jungle justice.... But for eg Robbers that kill pple on the road and part away with their belongings...I believe those guys shud be lynched
Or someone that defiles a six or five yr old girl...
Shaaa that's the opinion of #datgoaldigger

That is so sad. With the kind of resources input in our justice department, there is no excuse why it should be the way it is. Laws are supposed to keep us 'human'.

As bad as we all feel jungle justice is bad
We need to wait for a day when we are all faced with dare devil robbers one on one
Or when someone close to us were to be ganged raped by hoodlums or kidnapped

Certitude:

There is nothing wrong if one is accused wrongly and faces jungle justice even if the truth is later found. Do you think we are against jungle justice for the fun of it?
Do you know how often people scream thief, to cover other ulterior motive.

Bro, I was so much against jungle justice and advocated about it so much that it became a theme to all my discussion, not until August 7 this year while returning from work with my newly acquired laptop I bought then for 190k and my phone of 85k.inside the laptop bag was 350k which wasn't even my money, I was robbed and attacked, blood spilled through my shirt and I almost died, they went aware with my stuff and cash that wasn't mine, I had to cough through to pay that debt. If u were in my shoe, would u support jungle justice or not? It's good to look from d outside until u are affected. Attached below is d shirt I wore that night.

Long story cut short, a young man made his way into the house of an elderly man and tried to abscond with a Nokia torch phone, #1,000 and a 'quarter-to-die' necklace. He was caught in the act and the people around raised alarm.

A crowd soon gathered and the verbal insults degenerated to a few slaps. But quickly, it turned savage. Some young men who are fond of gathering at a deale'sr to smoke any 'brown powder' in any 'white wrap' soon abandoned their hobby to join the fiasco. The meagre slaps that were considered punishment enough until the police arrived were immediately considered insufficient by the new arrivals.

Soon, planks were up in the air and landed with unrestricted velocity on the suspect's body. These were followed by stones that kept increasing in size as each was thrown. Even the smoke-joint owner gladly offered up her wares for use to mete out 'justice' on the thief.

The few people that were appalled by the sudden aggravation of the beating had to move away from the scene and sought alternatives to secure the suspect from the reach of these 'murder-inclined' arms of the jungle law, while repeating warnings of the possible consequences to the 'beaters' should the suspect give up the ghost. But they were to far gone in their act to think otherwise. As Providence would have it, the police arrived and whisked the suspect away.

My opinion is this: I know some criminals can be inconsiderate, but for that reason, should we lose our human nature? Considering his crime, is it a commensurate punishment; beating him that way? Our laws may have failed and our country, gone awry, but how does that begin to explain deriving joy from seeing our own dying or justify venting our frustrations on our fellow human?

I've never really witnessed lynching in reality but as this is how close I came, I have to admit that it is not 'humans' but an inner 'demon' in human form that carries out such act because those fellows ceased to be understood at that point.

The Government should look into this; and draft a law to take care of 'jungle justice'. It rapes our existence of belief in being humane.

(The above incident happened in Afromedia Estate, Okokomaiko; an area in Ojo L.G.A. of Lagos)

Do you know how many people have been jailed by the courts for crimes they didn't commit? Just because some were too poor to defend themselves or had incompetent lawyers? No system is fool proof.
In a society where the government cannot protect me, am I not allowed to protect myself?

Treasuredlove:
I totally agree.
Someone steals
You kill
which is the greater offense?

I'm not really an advocate for jungle justice but some crimes are worth it. How do u explain kidnappers extorting a huge amount of money from their victim's family and thereafter killing the same person

khalhokage:
Jungle justice is committing murder as reprisal for the crime of petty theft.

People that support jungle justice don't ask themselves "what kind person would club a fellow pleading human being repeatedly and then set them on fire while they're still alive?"

That is a person that is definitely no better and most likely worse than the criminal.

Not to talk of the fact that a lot victims of these acts are actually innocent of the crimes they're being murdered for.

Just because there are monsters out there shouldn't mean that we turn into monsters too.

emperorchedda:
Why use the example of a robber who stole? Why not use the one who stole and killed?

Do you know some thieves steal things that are crucial to someone's life?

People though

No crime deserves jungle justice. If our system have failed us, then we'll have to live with it.
Afterall, our leaders were nor elected by aliens.

LaExpert:


I'm disappointed in you as a human, then as a Nigerian for the bold.

If we should fold our hands and do nothing about the failed system, there's absolutely nothing wrong with jungle justice.
