What the hell? He might not even be guilty. Imagine that - being accused of rape and then having your genitals hacked off.. :umm2:

Don't know about that, I'd say a lot of woman would much prefer mob rule then the laws they have obide by over there, I don't see a human being emotionally reacting to something he has witnessed and reacting that way on par with a child rapist tbf i don't know how people can even think that, the circumstances are totally different

I expect we all remember when that young woman was brutally raped on a bus and received internal injuries from being assaulted with iron bars - injuries so bad that she died of those injuries. The men responsible for that crime expected to walk away and they probably would have, had it not been for Indian people's outrage at the inertia of the police and the fact that they took to the streets in protest which brought the incident to the attention of the world. Poor people in India are not served by the police, they are not considered worthy, and poor women even less worthy than poor men. And if that's changing, it's changing slowly... glacially slowly.

I don't agree with mob rule, but if the law isn't working, if people are not getting justice, then something will always snap. And if I'm going to feel compassion for someone, it's probably not going to be for the man who was dragged off a young women in an alley, but for the countless women who have lived through the brutal degradation of rape and gang rape, and the countless women who have died as a consequence of it without ever having the hope that justice will prevail.

I've seen pics of women raped and swinging from trees.. strange fruit.
If the loss of a couple of plums is enough of a deterrent to stop that happening then :shrug:

Indian fathers marry off their children as young as five years of age!
they are no better than savages. we live in a sick world!.

The crowd are no better than the rapist.

I wonder how many other men in that angry mob are also rapists.

The 2 things are not equivalent because the rapist was attacking an innocent victim, but the angry mob was attacking a guilty man.

hurting someone who is innocent is worse than attacking a guilty person in retribution.

:clap1::clap1::clap1::clap1:Good post... Couldn't agree more




.

disgusting.

Im afraid the opposite is now true. men like this get murdered on the streets based of fouundless baseless allegations and no trial and no chance to defend yourself, that's sexism in its worst possible form.

We're all "guilty" of something. It doesn't give each of us the right to decide who's done wrong and dish out punishments to them.

I didn't say that mob justice is right. I just said that it's less wrong than raping an innocent victim. It's not equivalent. Many people are saying that the mob is just as bad as the rapist, and that's not true. The rapist is still worse than the mob.

mob rule is mental , it has to be stopped

I don't understand why people are applauding this, it's essentially punishing a sex crime with a sex crime.

I pity anyone who thinks that this is an acceptable course of action and I hope that one day they can get past their casual bloodlust.
