#4 This is a deliberately misleading Headline, they were NOT Lynched.
Just Killed.
And Justly killed as well. Thieves take Note.

#6 From the selections at this link, I highly recommend number one, a Negra Modela, and a table in the far corner.

#7 This is a deliberately misleading Headline, they were NOT Lynched.
Just Killed.

The headline in the link uses the Spanish word linchan to describe the event, which translates into lynching.

#8 "they were NOT Lynched. Just Killed."

Either way, he won't be robbing anyone else. Perfect reform method - mehbe decent Mexicans should step up its use.

#9 All of which show remarkable success in reducing recidivism.

The ruling class in Mexico has refused the wishes of the people to re-institute the death penalty, even though the 'bad guys' obviously have no problem in using it.

#10 this is what happens when you have no functioning police force or justice system.

it's the same in Kenya.

Nobody bothers calling the police who will just ask for bribes and do nothing anyway.

I, as a Western tourist, could have anybody killed I wanted in Kenya. All I have to do is walk down the main street in Nairobi and suddenly shout : Stop Thief - he took my mobile phone! and start running after the poor hapless victim.

Within 20 seconds people would stream from all around and kick that person to the ground and kill them before my eyes.

Wouldn't matter if they stole from me, or if I was mistaken, or if I was just a psychotic serial killer who wanted to strike in a novel way. they'd be dead.

it's not a good sign really

#11 Just as government derives its power from the 'consent of the governed', so does law and justice. When people perceive that the ruling class is unable or unwilling to provide justice, they start carrying it out themselves. That gets a response from the 'authorities' more so than the crime that provokes it, because they view it as a threat to their 'legitimacy' and power.

Not in Chihuahua, it hasn't and I suspect it hasn't because of the cops are every bit sick of the crime bullsh*t as the average Mexican citizen is. In the three crimes in the last three weeks, four in the last five weeks, not one citizen who has killed a criminal has been charged.

#13 not one citizen who has killed a criminal has been charged.

That I know of...

Rinse the linked article through Google Translate and see if you don't get the same impression I got: that the uprising within the restaurant was sudden, completely spontaneous and absolutely merciless. Three of the bad guy's companeros cleared the area as soon as they realized what was about to happen.

Even after newly inaugurated Chihuahua state governor Cesar Duarte warned Monday that Chihuahuans should not take the law into their own hands, we have two such events in just three days immediately following that speech.

One wounded, one dead and no charges against anyone.

#14 IIRC in one of those stories, 'suspected' leaders/motivators of the local 'committee of justice' left town to avoid contact with authorities.

Like all free men, they had every right to dodge process, and it's not quite the same thing as standing still and letting authorities charge you with a crime.
