Re: Thousands-strong mob attacks police station, burns man to death for alleged blasp
Im not a Marxist, but even a broken clock is right twice right? So he was spot on with that one.
I do consider myself a Liberal however.
How do you think a country with a proper police system would react to mob trying to lynch someone? Live fire is justified at some point. When non lethal measures are not working or are unavailable, its still incumbent on the police and all state functionaries to defend the accused and prevent the mob. Lethal force is justified in certain circumstances, even Islam teaches us that there certain situations where one must defend oneself or others, force of arms is permissible.
Life has to be respected and protected, but there is a point where you have to weigh your values against each other. In this case, do we allow this mob to murder this man in cold blood? Do we let these people trounce on the authority of the state and the constitution? Can we prevent this mob from meeting is murderous agenda without the use of lethal force? Should we use lethal force to prevent a greater tragedy?
Lethal force is the very last resort, but if these mindless dogs are not going to listen to reason, and they are adamant about reaching their goal, then Lethal force is more then justified, its required.
Feeling empathy for these poor lost souls didn’t save the poor man from being burnt alive, and nor will it prevent the next tragedy. These people are adults and are responsible for their actions.
