Burning Evil
There is a new trend set by frustrated and screwed up Pakistanis. I am trying to be optimistic, maybe such negative elements learn a lesson and try to stay away from frustrated Pakistanis.
From Dawn:
KARACHI, May 17: A charged mob severely beat up and then set on fire two robbers at North Nazimabad on Saturday, in a grim reminder of a similar incident that occurred earlier this week in Eidgah. One of the victims died after reaching hospital while the other is stated by the Civil Hospital to have mere chances of survival.
Witnesses and sources in the police said that the two men were caught as they fled on foot after having robbed the passengers of a minibus. The brutal episode, which took place in broad daylight, attracted hundreds of people, some of whom participated in the violence while others looked on.
The Daily Express reports that citizens have also taken up arms and don’t hesitate to kill robbers. Such incidents are clear example of complete failure of law and order in Pakistan. Similar case happened few days earlier in Karachi and Lahore. People are now saying that frustrated people can go to burn shopkeepers and corrupt elements due to recent inflation. Will this really kill evil? Not sure… maybe *shrug*.

indeed if justice is not available in court,or justice is delayed or police is not vigilant then it is law of the people which takes control. It is just like islamic law, just as in Saudi Arabia, quick decisions, instant punishment and like this Justice is served.
Though it is too harsh to punish shop keepers as they are also bread eearners however people incharge of affairs may have to stand in hotwaters soon!! As rescently shoe batting of ministers of previous government in Pakistan.

although in a way its good but, the govt. needs to be care full this could be a sign off a break out of a civil war, if the police or other govt agencies frustrate ppl more they wont hesitate in taking a stance against them

you are being optimistic while people are being burnt alive?! This will not kill evil, this IS evil! These are fasaadi people, those who are carrying out such actions as well as those who are tolerating them.
humans should be treated as humans, even the biggest of criminal, let alone petty thieves.

Fahd, you missed the Sarcasm. As far as burning incidents. our govt has been doing same by allowing Americans to kill our own people. What’s the difference?

I still don’t see the sarcasm.
And our govt is just as evil as these people. Does it justify these burnings?!
