Lebanese angry mob have killed a suspect of murder in the streets of Ketermaya ; an act recorded by video and photos that found their way in to the internet. I read about the terrible murder itself before and I was shocked with its gruesome detail : Two grandparents with their two grandchildren have been murdered in their house.
The crime is terrible by all measure as you can see without going in to further details. The Lebanese Police arrested a suspect in the murder , their 38 years old neighbor after 24 hours. After few hours of his arrest , the people of Ketermaya attacked and took the suspect while re-enactment of the terrible crime in to a quick public trial that made its sentence even without any further investigation or waiting for the DNA results. The angry locals of Ketermaya stubbed him to death then dragged his dead naked body through through out the town before hanging it in the center of the town.
Many people believe that he deserved it for what he had done , but what if he were innocent !!?? Yes the DNA results came proving that the suspect was actually the murderer but what if the results proving his innocence and not his guilt !!? We got that infamous incident Egyptian in Kuwait who was proved to be innocent after confessing under torture that he killed a Pakistani girl who is already alive !!!??
There is a huge debate currently in Lebanon about what happened in Ketermaya , that law of the vigilance means there is no trust in the state nor in the law and this is why the people take their rights by their own hands.
Unfortunately we saw and had several our own Ketermaya incidents in a way or another and here I am not speaking about Upper Egypt but other parts of Egypt where we find people turned in to vigilantes implementing the law by their own hands , becoming the prosecutor, the judge and the executor themselves without realizing that they are playing a role they should not play. The only reason we have our own Egyptian Ketermaya incidents in Egypt is simply people do not trust or believe the state any more. People had enough from long legal procedures not to mention their own feeling that the police is not doing its job to protect them in their houses ; this is why we notice increasing vigilance actions in the Egyptian cities nowadays.
A side detail that does not matter , that murderer who killed four innocent people was unfortunately Egyptian. It is a side detail because monsters do not have nationalities. Already I believe if that crime had happened in Egypt in a town outside Cairo like in Upper Egypt or Delta , the same end would have happened if the police had not been stronger and powerful.
Here are couple of photos and videos from Ketermaya , huge warning as they are extremely graphic "NSFW"
From AP :
From Videos on YouTube "Extremely graphic" and there are even more graphic content there but I just could not post it here.
The Question in mind now : What if he were innocent !!?? I do not care if he was Egyptian or not but what if he were innocent !!?
All those people participated in this parade should ask themselves this question.
By the way I think our media should stop this dirty game of "Egypt first" because the man according to the DNA was the real murderer of this poor family. Also I hope those few dear Arab brothers keep their feelings towards us to themselves.
