1. I have zero sympathy for the kidnappers.
They were caught in the act and dealt with. It would be another issue if the angry mob went on a witch hunt afterwards and ran the risk of getting the wrong people.

2. Three kidnappings a week?
This sends a pretty clear message to kidnappers of this kind. This is a community defending itself.

My only problem is that this may lead to some kind of escalation by the kidnappers.

3. You mean the "Dead" kidnappers?
If I were in that town, and it were my daughter I would say go ahead, escalate. We'll beat the shit out of you again. I don't care if they were 17. You don't kidnapp people and we don't negotiate with terrorist.
