In the Buenos Aires party of Merlo, a suspected criminal got stuck in a fence and was surprised by the neighbors, who decided to strip him as a form of punishment for his alleged thefts. The young man was left hanging upside down, without clothes, while firefighters worked to free him by cutting the metallic structure.
The incident was recorded by a witness's camera, showing the injured individual with signs of having lost blood. In the shared video, the presumed thief can be heard saying: "It's not fair!". According to local sources, residents took justice into their own hands as they believed the young man was involved in criminal activities in the area.
The images of the event captured the community's attention and sparked debate about vigilantism. Some people expressed their discontent with the neighbors' actions, while others supported the idea of exerting pressure on suspected criminals to deter future illegal acts. The young man involved in the incident kept lamenting: "I didn't do anything!".
