The former honorary consul of Canada, Daniel Lavoie, was found lifeless inside his apartment, on Pecarí Street, in Supermanzana 20 , his body has traces of violence and was wrapped in a sheet, as well as a message written in a notebook that says: "This happened when you rape children.”
Preliminarily it was indicated that the body of the former consul of Canada, 62 years old, was found by one of his friends who came to see him at noon this Sunday, because he did not have communication with him and when he arrived he did not answer his calls, which is why he opened the apartment with a copy of the key.
The body was rolled up on a sheet, with pillows on top and the feet were tied with the ropes of a hammock. Elements of the Municipal Police cordoned off the entrance of the domicile, for the initiation of investigations by the Ministerial Police and experts of the State Attorney General's Office.
The friend of the now deceased identified the body with the name Daniel Lavoie, of Canadian nationality, who was 33 years of living in Cancun and served as honorary consul of his country in Cancun, until eight years ago and was dedicated to give private lessons in French.

It has taken millennia to establish even a weak semblance of the Rule of Law. To abandon Law in favor of vigilantism has lots of bad consequences, many of which are too grisly to imagine. Even though self defense is not vigilantism (under the law) a corrupted system never sees it that way. It will always choose to protect its own power and authority.
Regardless of that, when serious crimes are enabled and protected by a corrupted system, people will, simply, defend themselves, whether the system declares that self defense legal or not. That's just the reality of it.
The consequences of the conflict between those two realities really is too grisly to imagine.

I think the key here is its the abandoning of the rule of law that causes people to seek vigilantism. The vigilante is not who abandons the law when there was no rule of law that is even working to abandon. I don't support vigilantism but I think it's an important distinction. If your highest value is justice unfortunately there may be a case for vigilantism in the world as we know it.
