Police Arrest 13 in Videotaped Killings - Grace Young

Four killed in Nigerian Mob Attack

 On friday a mob attacked four students in Nigeria. The mob attacked the four students and burned them alive, it was all videotaped and posted on youtube. In the video the four men are laying on the dirt in pain they are bloodied and have tires around their heads and shoulders. Although not all of the mob was identified thirteen of the men were taken into custody of the southern Nigerian Police in River State. Police are not sure why the mob attacked the students, but it is common in Nigeria for mobs to take police business in their own hands. Police do not patrol bad areas during the night in fear of their own lives. I think it is sad that people of any age aren't safe in their own town where they grow up, go to school, and live in. It is even worse that the police are so scared that they do not patrol some areas during the night.

  1. That was stupid, to just kill because you got bored and even if the students did something wrong I don't death was the consequence?

  2. Guns are NEVER the answer. I am a victim of gun violence, and the worst WORST WORST! feeling is to get a call that somebod in your family has died because somebody couldn't talk things out so they resorted to killing. It's always a cold and hard silence when you hold the phone. I believe talking it out would be way better than life in jail or the death penalty
