    The kids stoned a guy to death for stealing a cell phone and a bicycle.
    I guess the cops and the courts in that country can't be trusted to deal with criminals effectively.

    That's almost straight out of Kids. You know, only that dude just bumped into Casper and there weren't any stones thrown -- just a bunch of legs and a skateboard to the face.

    Honestly, had they SEEN him commit this crime, I'm not so sure I'd disagree with the result.

    Killing somebody for stealing a cell phone and a bike? You're serious?

    Not just killing him, but stoning him to death. Can't think that is a pleasant way to leave this Earth.

    And all he did was tell his wife that the halibut was fit for Jehovah.

    I'd say judging from the crime and murder rate in places like Juarez, that is a very accurate description of the cops and courts in that country and just how useless they are.....

    Wow. Bloodthirsty, misanthropic and crazy. That's nice. You'd make a pretty good Brownshirt.

    Yeah, that was over the top. Sorry. I was quite literally stunned. I'm over it now.
