Mob justice / myLot

Nairobi, Kenya

February 26, 2016 8:55am CST

Early today morning,an angry mob stoned to death five suspected robbers after they attempted to break into a shop.This is not the first incident of its kind to happen even as police term it criminal but people always claim they take matters in their own hands when the police fail to do their work. But I think even as the mob thinks that thieves are as good as dead,they ought to hand them to the police because there is no enough reason to end anyone's life.

The police always discourage mob justice but then don't do enough to combat crime so that's why you find such unfortunate incidents.What's more such a mob can sometimes target innocent people.

If it helps to end this time of criminal activity than I say good for the mob.

A mob only needs one person to start may be throwing stones to a suspect and the others will surely follow suite.So I sometimes think one courageous person determines the actions of the mob.
