On Saturday,it was there in the news of a bus that was set ablaze by angry motorcycle riders popularly known as Bodaboda operators here in my country.This was after a bus knocked down one of the operators.It was however not clear what really led to this accident and there was no one to save the situation as the crowd of onlookers watched as the bus was consumed by flames.

A mob do not first wait for the law to take its course and especially because they think this is their way of showing solidarity to their affected fellow.

There are two terrible things in your story and unfortunatly if happens everywhere. The first is that there are those people and that the police does little. And the other shameful thing is that everyone looks and noone helps. Most of the times, onlookers take their cell phones to get a video to show their friends instead of calling the authorities.

An angry mob is an uncontrollable lot who in their reckless minds can do anything in the name of revenge.

Did you mean "mob" in your title? An angry mob can be very frightening because it seems they are consumed by anger and will not heed any sane voice.

Its true controlling a mob with one voice of revenge is very impossible.

that's sad... I hope they can resolve their problems and eliminate violence. What could their motives be?

Is there anyone in the bus? If they just burned the bus, that is not too bad. If they burned the bus with people onboard, that is very cruel.
