Does he deserve this?

Indonesian mob just could not contain their anger when they caught a thief caught ransacking abandoned homes on natural disaster zone.  

The video showed a man brutally bashed by the villagers, despite his plea for mercy and forgiveness. The thief could be heard calling "Ya, Allah", but that did not stop the villagers kicking the already bloodied face and bruised body. Voices could be heard telling the attackers to break the thief's leg and to bash the culprit to death without any mercy.

The video was taken in a village on Merapi, an active volcano in Java, Island which recently erupted, leaving hundreds homeless, destroying crops and their livelihood. The thief believed to be targeting the empty abandon houses, and this was not his first act (although it would be his last act).

When your livelihood and community destroyed by natural disaster, would you do the same to those whose taking advantages of your vulnerability?
