I have lived in different parts of the world in remote settings where the rule of law does not operate. Under those circumstances, tribal law meets out justice whilst trying to be civilised. The alternative is mob rule when the vigilantes take over. At some point, an innocent will get hurt. I don't know if people are still burned to death in Northern Ireland for criminal activities or political crimes. I had hoped that barbaric practice had stopped. I have seen it reported in the townships of South Africa.
So you have been there with what happened to Minty. I am sorry to hear about that. What was the final outcome?
