This is how people "deal" with thieves in China

LiveLeak.com - Innocent white kid gets his hand crushed in China for being white.

 I did some research after seeing this video and found out that the original poster is using sensationalism to gather views. Nevertheless, it's absurd that people in china actually think this is an acceptable form of punishment. The kid in the video was being assaulted for stealing something petty, which is ridiculous. regardless of where you're from or what your culture is, this is wrong. The kid is obviously naive and did not deserve any of that. No one intervened and some people even laughed, this is just sick and cruel.
