Check few reactions below:
Simon: “This is jungle justice. He’s being judged and punished by the public without a real trial. I have no more to say.”
Jose: “I think I know this man. He seems to have problems. Someone should help him.”
Paul: “It’s ironic that someone who stole out of hunger gets punished while those stealing money from the government are treated like heroes. Stealing is wrong, but it would be fair if both types of thieves faced the same consequences.”
Celine: “He’s not serious. The money he gets from selling that chicken won’t even cover the effort he put into catching it.”
Dauda: “Bad behavior comes from the heart. He should be punished in a way that shows others not to steal.”
