We will never forget those gruesome images; their broken head with the whitish insides of their heads spilling out mixed with blood; their pleas for help silenced by the roaring mob. The tyres on their necks and the fire... Ouch, the fire is the painful part as the mob watched four--not yet proved guilty—young men burn in Aluu (RIP #ALUU4). But how many people have been convicted for that jungle justice since then? One? Two? None? Well, that's just to show the weak justice system we have, but let's imagine some people actually get convicted, what will you say should be their punishment? Considering what they did; Firing squad, electric chair, or death by hanging?
