    Default Death Penalty - It exists...

    Cape Town - The mother of a man killed by a vigilante mob in Kanana informal settlement says her son was a “good boy” led astray by the wrong crowd.Eddie Raqa, 18, was on Tuesday accosted by a mob, beaten, had bricks hurled at him and set alight.
    “He was my youngest child, and he had helped me since I had a stroke and couldn’t do the housework any more,” said Florence Sirathaza of her son.
    “Just yesterday he spent all day in the yard – fixing things, cleaning and making it look nice. He wanted to be a builder because he was good with his hands. I raised him, he was not violent and always polite.”
    Community members claimed he had tried to mug a woman, who was on her way to work, near the Valhalla Drive, N2 intersection.
    “The woman ran, and he ran after her. When people heard her screaming in among the shacks they came out. Eddie didn’t have a chance, by then it was too late to run away. It was chaos,” said resident and witness Mzukho Bruintjies.
    Raqa’s body was identified by his brother-in-law, who recognised his takkies.
    The police have apparently asked his mother for a blood sample to confirm the identity.
    Bruintjies said early morning muggings were commonplace in Kanana and that the community was fed up.

    They are always such good boys, never hurt a fly they wouldn't.

    I'm sorry for my prejudice, there is always the liklihood that the person the mob catches may be completely innocent, but their hit-to-miss ratio has been damningly accurate in the news I've read so far.

    Rule of the Jungle: do the crime, get the necklace.

    And therein lies the problem:

    Would this be the same news that told us that Pistorius first fired two shots, then three, then four, then beat her with a cricket bat, then change the story to he used the bat to beat the door down etc etc......

    The only thing more unreliable than a mob jury is the journalist reporting on it.

    Yes, I have a similar observation. During more than 15 years duties at casualty I have only seen the "assaultees" never even one "assaulter" And most of them were either on the way to church or were coming back from one.....
