Mob Burns Venezuelan Man Alive Over $5 As Justice Fails

May 21, 2016 Leave a Comment

The mob burns Venezuela man alive over $5 as the country sinks deeper into chaos and the justice system falls apart. Five dollars might not be a lot for you, but in Venezuela it could have bought a family a week’s worth of food. The AP reported: “The mob didn’t know at first what Roberto Bernal had done, but he was running and that was enough. Dozens of men loitering on the sidewalk next to a supermarket kicked and punched the 42-year-old until he was bloodied and semi-conscious. After all, they had been robbed of cell phones, wallets and motorcycles over the years, and thought Bernal had a criminal’s face. Then a stooped, white-haired man trailing behind told them he’d been mugged. The mob went through Bernal’s pockets and handed a wad of bills to the old man: The equivalent of $5. They doused Bernal’s head and chest in gasoline and flicked a lighter. And they stood back as he burned alive.” One of the participant, Eduardo Mijares, said: “We wanted to teach this man a lesson. We’re tired of being robbed every time we go into the street, and the police do nothing.” (ap.org)
