It's a slippery slope, breh. Some places will cut off the hand of a thief and exact other punishments that seem wild to the west but those places also have very low crime rates. So one could argue that their society as a whole is safer and therefore more civil overall than America where mass shootings, gangs, bank robberies, etc are common.
Uncivilized. I could care less what slippery slope they have to live by or what kind of crime pressure thy have.
For all we know it could have been a friend he knows, he pulled a prank while riding by and before he knows it some guy is tying to run him over, then a mob is attaching him.
The whole situation screams people who cant control their emotions.
And then for all we know he could have been stealing his phone back, I'm mean who knows?
From what i see a guy steals a phone and a bunch of of emotional dudes run in to "save the day", without even realized whats really going on. Just not a place I would want to live.
Like I said in a civilized country he could sue anyone who touched him and the guy who tried to run him over would be charged with attempted murder.
Imagine next time you walking and you find some money on the ground, you pick it up and all of a sudden a bunch of dudes are hell bent on mobbing you, becuse it looks like your tying to steal.
