Wow....a pickler indeed. At what point does a well-meaning group of individuals become a mob? At what point does a mob become a revolutionist group?

The article quotes.. "Nobody comes to our help in these parts. The officials and police are corrupt and anti-poor. So sometimes we have to take the law into our own hands. At other times, we prefer to shame the wrongdoers. But we're not a gang in the usual sense of the term. We're a gang for justice."

I suppose, that while I support a person standing up for themselves against a bully(even with the help of their friends), I am skeptical when it comes to the idea of strangers in groups speaking of 'justice'. This is a case of people becoming judge, jury and executioner (as in, they perform the punishment...no deaths have been attributed to them, that I'm aware of). Which, i can't bring myself to condone due to a lack of check-and-balance.

Iandefor, your signature says, "Mohandas Gandhi broke the law, too."---however, he never 'chased a woman's abusive, alcoholic husband into a sugarcane field and sorely thrashed him' either. :P
