We're the Only Ones Who Got Your Goat Enough

Police in Nigeria are holding a goat handed to them by a vigilante group, which said it was a car thief who had used witchcraft to change shape.

A police spokesman in Kwara State has been quoted as saying that the "armed robbery suspect" would remain in custody until investigations were over. [More]
Hey, we shouldn't laugh. Look how many people in this country still believe "Only Ones" have some kind of special magic making them more trustworthy to bear arms than "regular people."

Or how about the "the gun went off" or "killed by a gun" mentality? Not only do these, er, hardened criminals "remain in custody" until investigations are over, but with the whole "melt all the guns down" concept, we might say that our statist friends are pushing for summary executions here...

Hasn't the goat been roast yet?

I'm surprised it wasn't restrained and shot in the back
