Justice in Guatemala

The catch with mob justice is that you never really know whether a person is really guilty or not. If you live in a Latin American country like Guatemala, all it takes is for someone to yell “rapist” or “murderer” and before you know it, you have whole street on your ass, including the kids beating the shit out of you with whatever blunt objects they can pick up but that’s just the beginning. Latin American mob justice usually ends with an accused getting sprinkled with gasoline and set on fire while the crowd watches them burn in slow agony. This is exactly what happened to 2 men though there is no video of actual beating that proceeded the burning.

The backwards mentality of dimwits who practice mob justice can be further seen from the fact that while the men were burning, instead of putting the fire off and trying to offer some form of first aid (or put him out of the misery quickly), the priest was called upon to give blessings and anoint the burning man.

This man burned to a crisp and twinkled with flames until death, the other one was saved by the police. The story has it that they were suspected of having killed a bus driver in Solola, Guatemala and were taken to the police station. Mob didn’t like that, set the police cars on fire and dragged two men and one woman out of prison and to deliver proper lynching.

According to stats provided by UN sponsored agency, 98% of crime committed in Guatemala goes unpunished due to corrupt justice system. In 2007, Guatemala recorded 47 murders per 100,000 population, making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Total number of recorded murders was at 3,615 in 2009. Anyone planning a trip to Guatemala? Better pack up a fire extinguisher!

Re: Justice in Guatemala

This is true, **Lady. And because of the magnitude of police corruption, many local communities do take matters into their own hands, because they know if a certain person gets arrested for committing a horrific crime, like, say, rape or murder, if he has a relative in the police force or who works in high-level position in the government, then there's a good chance that person will get off scott free, or at worst, with only a slap on the wrist!!! Sad but true.

Good point you brought up. Very good point.

Re: Justice in Guatemala

being burned alive has to be the worst way to go.
especially if you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
