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.

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.

Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays.

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

I meant Starman. You can't be over the top enough.
 
Let me make myself clear...look, I understand what you guys mean, but I get tired of the oh, it's ONLY a cell phone. How many times does this guy get to steal cell phones?
Why is the crime rate of things like that lower in Arab countries?
Because there are consequences, no matter how small the crime.

I thought the crime rate was low because there was nothing to steal. How much sand does a guy need?

So you are in support of gang violence but find Boom's message board comments over the top?

I don't make jokes about killing fetuses.
Give it a rest, Ace. Don't be a part of the hero worship.

Boom isn't my hero. He's more like a fun-loving but dim-witted cousin.
