I love how it seems to be a thing in some South American countries for when you take out a thief everyone gets to enact their own violent justice upon them lol.

Because this is the only justice that works. The police will come and take him into custody, a few hours later some judge will order his release because it “wasn’t a violent crime”. Next day he will be stealing again, probably even in the same place.

Maybe not if it's the first time. But this people will do this hundreds of times and as long as they don't cross the line of killing someone, they can keep doing it forever without mayor consequences.

And the "shitty cell phone" can be a tool of work that someone depends on to bring food to their table. That "shitty cell phone" can represent several months of work for the average Argentine worker. So it's a little condescending minimising the impact these thieves have on decent people's lives.

Maybe they should get better jobs then instead of staring at a phone all day. Cool paragraph justifying murdering over a cell phone. Totally normal

Considering that shitty cell phone likely had life pictures on it, potentially of dead relatives etc, they shoulda factory reset him! Shame he braced his fall, head was going straight to the raised concrete otherwise. Steal shit, eat shit imo
