BRAZIL Man’s attempt to steal a motorcycle didn’t go as planned. He was caught and painfully punished – the group beat him, including kicks to the head. In a desperate attempt to escape, the thief jumped through the open window of a passing car.
Although such treatment of a thief may seem like justice, it is in fact a criminal act. No one has the right to harm another person, not even a thief. Those who take justice into their own hands often face greater legal consequences than the thief himself. Always leave justice to the official legal system.
