Burning A Suspected Criminal. Is This Right? by ypad: 5:12pm On Jul 22, 2011
Watch the youtube video and choose your own side. The incident took place in Nigeria and the video uploaded to facebook yesterday.

Many of our politicians have stole money meant for the masses, some have killed innocent people just to fortify their power, and some are perpetrators of violence who have killed hundreds of people and destroyed properties, yet they walk freely without being questioned.
When are we going to get it right? why do some Nigerians love taking the law into their hands?

I do not support the act of stealing, in fact I condemn it completely. In any case, burning of a suspected criminal by the public is blatant injustice. How many people caught him stealing? Just shout to my enemy ole! ole!! ole!!! and he 'll be mobbed.

are you saying that: because politicians and what not are stealing the country blind, we should let thief go Scot-free?!
we all know that the police will simply take bribe from this crook and let him go so that he can continue his crime wave on others SO although burning him aint right, it sure solves THAT source of problem!

That's vigilante justice and it's not right. It is also cruel and unusual punishment and it's therefore against the law.

^^what law? why aren't the people who do this arrested and charged with murder?
the country is lawless, as we can clearly see from the thieving/looting that is rampant from these government officials.

anyone can do what they please so long as they either have POWER, MONEY or simply GOOD INFLUENCE/FRIENDS.

Then someone should stay something. We can't keep on living like this.

^^lol.
are the people not the ones who elect these thieves in power? Nigerians get what they deserve, and if they dont like it then they should do what the Egyptians did a few months back. . . . . . . .but that will never happen because they are too caught up in their own BS fantasy aka going to church and listening to some fool in a robe telling them to "pray" as everything will be better, lol!
