The Bolivian villagers extracted painful vigilante justice on the criminals for stealing three motorbikes - authorities said they nearly died
[B]Villagers in the Amazon jungle exacted revenge on two motorbike thieves by lashing them to a tree swarming with deadly ants for THREE DAYS.[/B]
Authorities say the two thieves, aged 18 and 19, nearly died after being stung by the poisonous fire ants in the attack in Ayopaya, western Bolivia.
Dr Roberto Paz, of Bolivia’s Cochabamba hospital, [B]said one was in intensive care while the other needed dialysis for kidney failure.[/B]
A sister of one of the men - who are accused of stealing three motorbikes - said that villagers had held them for nearly three days.
They were only freed on Saturday when relatives paid a ransom of around £2,200 - nearly four times Bolivia’s average annual wage.
Villagers had demanded the payment as compensation for the loss of the motorbikes.
[B]The sister said that the men would have died if her relatives had not paid the ransom.[/B]
The venomous ants - whose scientific name is [B]pseudomyrmex triplarinus - live on the triplaris tree[/B], which grows throughout Central and South America.
Their poison can be deadly but is used in small doses as a traditional cure for arthritis.[/quote]

Shit I wonder how long humans can survive strapped to a bullet ant tree

Fucking barbaric.
You need to understand the context. The crime that took place was a crime against their very livelihoods. This isn't something anyone would fuck around about.
And on the bright side, now they'll never get arthritis.
Holy shit, that's pretty fucking barbaric.

This was just a cure for their arthritis in disguise. what champs
Someone steals your bike, so what do you do? [i]You kidnap them and let them die slowly and painfully if you don't get your money[/i]. That's fucking disgusting.
it's barbaric by OUR standards if WE were to do it then it would be barbaric
I'm not arguing that capital punishment is barbaric, but one is a way of killing someone over a course of a few minutes and the other one is a way of killing someone by torturing them for several days straight.
[QUOTE=Kondor;44552031]it's barbaric by OUR standards if WE were to do it then it would be barbaric[/QUOTE]
Capital punishment as a whole is barbaric and something a civilized world should strive to move away from. Even with this stated, to be quickly killed by a proper hanging is far more quick and far more humane than to die slowly with constant agony for days.

yeah but this isn't just a motorbike in terms of our society it's a motorbike in terms of their society it could be worth everything to them
Capital punishment is pretty horrible by itself, but this is taking it to a whole new fucking level.
I'm completely disgusted by the people in this thread supporting the torture of several human beings.

I think people are just discussing the possible fact that in their world, these motorbikes might have meant the world to these people

I couldn't give a shit. Killing another human being on it's own is horrible in it's own right regardless, and torturing someone over it is even worse.
If someone took all my possessions I wouldn't fucking kidnap and torture them. Are you people really that sick?

I couldn't give have a rats ass about their society's standards either. If they put a human life on such a low lease, then their society can go fuck itself with a rusty pike.

It already happened and there isn't exactly a normal "court of law" in that area (unless I'm mistaken). People are just understanding the context, and the context shows that none of us fucking live in the Amazon and have to deal with what these people deal with on a daily basis. It's a different way of life, and discussing the possibility that we have no idea how much worth these motorbikes had to the villagers, perhaps the lack of the motorbikes would have caused the inability to get medical supplies to the village? Maybe the kids knew already what to expect if they fucked with an Amazon village?
I'm just saying, trying to understand why something happened doesn't make people sick

You've clearly never been through a famine.
[QUOTE=Grimhound;44552145]You've clearly never been through a famine.[/QUOTE]
And you have?
I wonder how they jumped to that conclusion?
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;44552153]And you have?[/QUOTE]
No, omae. But I'm damn glad I never have. I'm glad I live in a country and area where a few motorbikes isn't what separates me and my community from ruination.
Say the kids in the village comes down with a bad cold. They need medicine. But no way to get it because your motorbikes were yanked. Your village just died. You lost an entire generation. You're in the middle of the fucking jungle. Nobody's coming to help you.
I have no sympathy. If you fuck with people that live outside the law in some sort of primitive settlement, what the fuck do you expect them todo?
As other people said, those motorcycles may have been their only link to the outside world. If they desperately needed food/medicine or something they would all die. The Amazon Jungle is pretty fucking big.

Post colonial retarded rhetoric.
"torturing people and leaving them to die in a slow and painful way is a-ok because their society has different standards"
what the hell people
