A Haitian national was decapitated by an angry mob of people in the Herrera Barrio of West Santo Domingo. The crowd was set on the man as he laid down on the ground, with fists and anything they could get a hold of.
Later a well built young man wielding an Axe, cut the man's head in a single blow as the man was laying in the street's pavement.
The mob cheered and approved the decapitation as the wake was taking place, some close distance from the ogreish scene, of the man the Haitian national was accused of decapitating earlier on as well as wounding a companion with a machete he handled.
According to the family, the Dominican man getting the wake, was visiting his property earlier on Friday in Bayona. Where the man owned several lots and had the Haitian caring over the fields.
As he was giving money to the worker to by food for himself, the Haitian decapitated the landowner in a single blow with his machete and tried to kill the companion as he escaped the gruesome crime being committed. The man, wounded was able to fend off his attacker and reach aid some distance away, as the Haitian fled the crime scene.
The family provided Police with the murderer's name and description, but the Police did little to follow up or give pursuit to the suspected criminal. The locals which included family members from the crime victim, whom knew the Haitian's worker identity from their visits at the lots, gave pursuit to the criminal and were bale to locate him hiding in a Haitian settlement in guajimia by a stream.
They apprehended the man the next day and instead of taking him to the local Police, the crowd demanded that the same treatment "an eye for an eye" was imparted.
As the victim's body was laid in the wake, the perpetrator was provided with what the mob called "justice".
The mob's crime was even recorded on cell phones by the cheering crowd, something the National Police is currently trying to locate in order to identify the perpetrators and impart real justice. The law of the jungle should never be allowed to rule in any instance, no matter how gruesome the crime or deeds committed by the criminal.
So the end tally is two decapitated, one seriously wounded and many that will go to jail for usurping the Law and order to their liking.
What's your take on this? Do you think street justice is OK as long the punishment fits the crime or it's just justification to commit an equal heinous crime under the pretext of justice?

This is the type of thing that is becoming commonplace and that I, as A nationalist, want to avoid. The constant flow of Haitians to the East will only increase this type of incidents. These are human actions and will repeat themselves as long as the migratory problem continue. A few points:
1. The Dominican landowner was decapitated first.
2. The Haitian was decapitated as a reaction to the inhumane crime committed against a Dominican.
3. This is not the first time this sad event happens.
4. Haitian-on-Haitian crime is never reported, but is a serious problem in eastern DR.
5. Why did the author of this article forget to include in the title the fact that a Dominican was killed first? I guess we all know.
6. The fact that the Dominican victim was decapitated by A Haitian is not ALLEGED? It has been proven just the same way that a Dominican decapitated a Haitian.
7. According to what I heard the Haitian victim was related to the Haitian criminal who began the whole problem. However, I have to say that is sad that innocent people die for the actions of others.
8. Solution: Mass, but Human deportation. Total border control and some Dominican aid to Haiti when possible.
9. PICHARDO, THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN ON A DAILY BASIS IF YOU GUYS CONTINUE PUNISHING THE HAITIANS INTO DR. JUST STOP IT. AVOID A FREAKING GENOCIDE.
Sounds like Africa to me. I am not saying whether it is good or bad; however, often when people feel that there will be no justice they will take matters into their own hands. It is an ancient custom. Before police stations etc. etc. An eye for an eye...a tooth for a tooth. In Benin, West Africa, the same thing would have happened. I have seen robbers have tires put on them and fires lit. Mob justice can happen in this country as well! It actually has in our history. We simply have a better police system.

This type of things in not normal in DR. First time I hear BEHEADING... The drama between Haitians and DOminicans is old. But beheadings, that's the new element in the equation. Savages, that's what we have become.
Where excatly this article was published? I want to make sure i read the whole story, before i gave my input. We all do not know excatly what hapenned, so i really cant say anything. "Once AGAIN A CAN OF WORM JUST OPENED"
Erik, I understand where you're coming from but, and a big one while at it, when civilians impart their street justice more often than not, things are a far cry away from anything resembling real justice.
Beheading? Are you serious?!? Just b/c the head was cleanly cut away doesn't mean it hasn't happened before in many occasions. All around the world, even in first world countries, this is something that's bound to happen when crime goes around and people feel like not enough enforcement is being done by the local authorities.
Not so long ago, a news crew was able to capture a mob lynching a man that was involved in a robbery at a local store in DR. The man was beat to a pulp, drop from a second floor head first and as a police agent tried to keep the mob form further attacking the suspect, a man from atop shot the guy several times with his gun.
There's no question whether things must or must no be allowed to happen like this, the problem is that as more and more people are living in the margins of the cities, this is going to happen even more. Not so long ago too, a foreigner ( I can't recall if he was French or German) was almost lynched by a crowd in some street of the DR, b/c somebody claimed he had raped a young child and almost lost his live, save for the actions of a well-intended gun owner watching the event unfold.
Nationalities are not as important as the actions seem to repeat more and more within the nationals of the DR with severity. What's debated is should it be accepted as justice or not?
There are more mob lynchings of suspected criminals in the DR of 100% national origin, than all the same killings of foreigners (including Haitians) in the DR in the last 100 years...
This same actions are carried out in Haiti to about the same amount of times, but compared to the rest of most LA countries and other countries in the world both Haiti and the DR record the least reports of mob lynchings of the region.
Erik this had nothing to do with nationality and all to do with criminal actions being poorly followed up, both by the law enforcement authorities and the lack of severe criminal charges/penalty to those who participate in the lynchings.
During the lynching there were many Haitian nationals watching and also participating in the brutal action, as they were part of the same community tired of criminals being allowed to conduct their activities and turned the blind eye to from authorities.
The National Police is already investigating the cell phone video and pictures to apprehend the people involved in the lynching and "make an example" out of them to the population on the penalties it carries when that action is taken above the law.
A youtube posted video of a robbery suspect which participated in a heist to a local biz in the DR, the man was lynched by the crowd once they found out the suspects shot and killed one of the keepers and wounded another.
The guy beat up and shot by the lynching mob, is a 100% Dominican National Erik...
Here even the presence of an armed uniformed Police agent couldn't halt the lynching.
A head cut off, a beating to death, hacked to death, burned to death, shot to death is not much of an issue but what is an issue is the lack of severe punishment for participating in these acts, regardless of how justified the mob was by the actions of the criminals.
I've been to both the Dominican Republic and Haiti, but despite the posturing and name calling, Dominicans can be just as evil, violent, sadistic, and brutal as Haitians. Sometimes more so, since many think they are owed something.
If we allow the law of an eye for an eye, we'll need millions of guide dogs for the untold number of blinded people soon to follow.
The people that pursued the Haitian which sliced the head off the Dominican man, had the opportunity to drive him directly into the Police hands. I'm sure that he would have received the most severe jail sentence in the books for the killing. The way things unfolded provides ample evidence of a hunt based on pure vengeance and seeking to commit a crime equal or larger to the one the suspect committed himself.
I don't think that using a rather lacking model in the shape of a criminal himself, to point fingers between the two countries, is the right thing to find a proper response to this.
The people that participated in the lynching should be punished, and more so for the actual and equally criminal who used the Axe on the Haitian man as well.
If the Haitian man committed a heinous crime when killing the Dominican citizen, the executioner during the mob lynching is as much a criminal or worst than him, being that he lacked any reason to do so other than seeking blood to be shed.

What could be possibly good in carrying out a mob lynching?
This only negates that which separates chaos from a civil country.
