ok so clarify this for us non subcontinet dwellers shiv
Is there a law against lynching in india currently?
@Blackhawk342 Yes, there are murder laws
Who could have known
So wouldn't that cover lynching? lol
You don't need a law against immolation, because murder is already illegal.
EXACTLY
ITS SO STUPID
"Yeah but what about burning someone to death."
"--That's murder, m'boy."
It's like saying "let's make a law against stabbing people"
Like, come on
Nah nah nah.
Just do cool backflips.
And stick potatoes on their knives.
😎
But you know what was stupider
The context
Basically, a bunch of villagers found people giving away candy
And they spread rumours those guys were child molesters,
So the villagers did the natural thing
That happened right?
I hate moral panic.
And killed them
They lynched some people from the police stations
I mean the people held in them
Yeah that too
It's so stupid man
I hate mainstream media
Oh. Yeah, that's bad.
So they're considering a lynching law I guess?
Yea, the supreme court recommended to the parliament to make anti lynching laws
Though they would be redundant
I can see the debate.
Probably because in murder, there is that one perpetuator
Ah so it would be like hate crime laws in the US
But in a lynching, theres a crowd
adding extra penalties to the crime comitted
at least thats what i assume it would be like
Which was kinda silly. A crime is a crime no matter the intent
