Residents in a neighborhood on the outskirts of San Miguel in Argentina took matters into their own hands when they saw a man trying to rape an 8-year-old girl. Let’s just say the punk was served some shameful justice.
The unnamed man was dragged naked through the streets of Santa Brigida by the angry mob after they claimed he attempted to rape the young girl. The mob tied the man’s hands behind his back before they paraded him through town to the police.
According to the U.K. Mirror, someone in the mob said, “Next time we will kill you.”

Another said, “Degenerate! Tie him to the back of the car.”
Police promptly handcuffed the man before putting him in a patrol vehicle.
Video of the incident was uploaded to social media earlier this week, with a caption that read: “The neighbors of the community have done justice when we apprehended a criminal who was about to rape a little girls (sic) of just 8 years, and we handed him over to police who we hope will get justice for the innocent girl.”

We don’t condone vigilante justice, but we do think anyone attempting to rape a child deserves punishment he’ll never forget.
Let’s hope the Argentina police throw the book at this punk.
This isn’t the first time residents have taken matters into their own hands when it comes to catching criminals red-handed. Resident in West Bengal, India, tied an accused rapist to a tree and beat him in front of an entire village last summer.
Vigilante justice isn’t the best way to handle such situations, but when it comes to crimes against children, it’s easy to understand why townspeople take matters into their own hands when they see such a crime committed.
