discuss Do you think jungle justice should be the way out where the justice system fails?

[Kross]

In some societies, the justice system has been completely battered such that people don't even believe in the justice system. Criminals caught red handed in crime are being let of the hook for several reasons.

If the people in such a society resort to jungle justice, would it be wrong?

One man in Louisiana USA killed his son's sexual abuser and he didn't go to jail for it, just got probation. This happened on the 80s.

No, I don't think jungle justice is the answer, even when the formal system fails. While frustration is understandable, resorting to violence outside the law only creates more problems and perpetuates a cycle of harm. It undermines the principles of justice and the rule of law that we should strive for.

We are not animals and we can't subscribe to jungle justice. With jungle justice, an accused would be executed regardless if it was a false accusation. They don't investigate. That's why jungle justice should be frowned upon.

I have turned a blind eye to a mob lynching a man that tried to snatch the bag of a lady. I am completely indifferent on the issue of jungle justice. Those criminal elements have rendered me to the ground with their activities. They entered where I keep my musical equipment for my live band and left with equipment that I used years to save and buy. If they are caught on the way and are mob lynched, would I stop the mob? No, I won't. I can't be part of jungle justice but I can't intervene to save someone that a mob is about to lynch.

If the law can't or won't exact justice, then we must take the law into our own hands.

King Belieal, you have a great attitude to it.

In the case of lynching in the US, it wasn't about justice but making a statement. It's the same reason ancient Romans didn't quickly stab people on death row.

In April 10, 2016, a group of more than ten guys armed with guns broke into our house. Took every gadget they could see including iPads, smartphones and smart televisions. They raped my then 15 year old cousin. Three of them took turns to rape her. That remains the biggest trauma of my life.

If I a passing by the road and a person that was caught stealing is about to be burnt to death like it is done in my city, I would get to the nearest fuel station, buy fuel with my last money and donate to the mob to make the burning easier. Judge me all you like but those armed robber guys would kill you like they have done to people in my city here when they want to rob you.

I do not support jungle justice because it can lead to further violence and it can also undermine the law of the country but we need to also understand the frustration of people with the faulty justice system which can definitely lead them to take matters into their own hands.

I know a lot of people won't support jungle justice but I think I will support it with my full chest. I have had a very terrible robbery experience and I haven't gotten out of its effect till now.

Jungle justice might feel like a quick fix when the system fails, but I don’t believe it’s the right solution. It often leads to violence, wrongful punishment, and undermines the rule of law. True justice requires fairness, transparency, and due process, even if it’s slow. Taking the law into our own hands risks chaos and harm to innocent people. Instead, pushing for reforms and accountability in the justice system is a better path.

 

[Yama]

No, I don't believe in jungle justice. If justice fails, you should try to improve the justice system instead of becoming a judge yourself. Judiciary system seems to be failing in many developing and politically unstable countries but this is taking towards anarchism.
