If I am comprehending @Duamerthrax@lemmy.world’s point🧵, the same applys: mob justice exists in the lowest caste, but not on the demagogy. Both are still classist fucks.
An angry mob stormed a jail, so the suspect was already in custody. Police didn’t want to use force because there were students in uniforms, which if I’m reading between the lines correctly, means the cops assumed higher caste. The suspect was Bangladeshi, so this was also fueled by racism.
This was thousands of people storming a jail. How does that happen? Did the media see an opportunity to use this story to stoke xenophobia like we’ve been seeing in Europe and the US?
Do you live in america or does the same not apply
