Three child kidnappers are burned alive by raging Guatemalan villagers following the murder of an 11-year-old boy after his parents paid a $19,000 ransom
2022-08-27
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Freddy Méndez, 11, was killed after he was kidnapped by three men in Guatemala on August 12

  • Ovidio Méndez, 24; Selvin Pérez, 24; and Samuel Godínez, 38, were captured by residents in the western city of Colotenango and turned over to police Monday

  • The kidnappers collected a $19,000 ransom but never returned the boy to his family

  • Villagers were still upset because the child had not turned up and they returned to the police station where they were able to drag out one of the suspects

  • The man was killed after he was beaten and set on fire. The group went back to the precinct and took the other two suspects and beat and set them on fire

#4  So the locals went back to the precinct. Cooperative or terrified, the cops don't seem to have objected.
Hey, I wonder if the local prosecutor got Soros money. That would explain the popular impatience.

#3  Maybe we can try that in Ohio. If we do, a neighbor will bring brats.

#2  Swift and unambiguous justice has what historians call a "salutary effect."
