In central America, what is known to be one of the world's most violent countries, Guatemala, a sixteen year old girl was beaten, and then burned alive by a mob. Allegedly, the mob threw rocks at her, kicked her, and then poured gasoline on her in the village of Rio Bravo, for her involvement in the killing of a taxi driver three months ago. Police authorities arrived on the scene too late to save the victim. Her name was not given to the media, so her family can remain safe. No one defended, or even tried to save the girl. Some articles published in Guatemala have mixed reactions, some reported it was justice being served, while others blasted the mob for extreme measures.
