Is that the only way people can resort to thieves nowadays? The prisons are filled to capacity; yet was this necessary?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She further questioned what could possibly be gained by such a senseless act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo tonight, another mother and family are crying because of losing a child to senseless mob justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat will anyone gain by killing someone because of stealing? Where and what is the justice system doing? What\u2019s happening in our communities and where did ubuntu go?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post started a debate on mob justice attacks in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the post Angaliba Kalindime wrote: \u201cThat\u2019s what happens when people are tired of being terrorised, it\u2019s sad though that it had to get to that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwin Mavengano said the justice system has failed people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJustice has already failed the ghettos, people are terrorized by these kids who steal out of desperation but still nothing happens to them. I condemn his killing, but please people, are very afraid of these youngsters because they belong to known gangs. Lesson learnt, teach your kids to refrain from all illegal activities or they will face the mob.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landry Takouteu responded: \u201cit\u2019s sad that people feel that there is no other choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t work that hard for someone to just steal your stuff like that. The police arrest him and less than three months later, he is out to come steal from you again. People are fed up.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caswell Frans said it\u2019s sad that an innocent life was taken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo sad to hear of the death of an innocent person, my condolences to the family of the deceased.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Leumas Samuel said killing can never be the answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKilling can never be the answer, but to work hard for something and someone breaks into your place, unless they never broke into your place you will not understand.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Anyone with information that may lead to the
