The men who beat the guy were criminals for taking the law into their hands. Even if the girls were underage, and the man thus a pedophile, then he should have been reported to the police.What he did was wrong and he deserved then a penalty but one that is legal and just. It's because of people like the beaters, ie people who take it upon themselves to play police,lawyer,judge and executioner, that we have crimes like revenge killings and honor killings today.
