I hope those responsible are burned at the stake themselves. They killed the woman right in front of her daughter.

Superstition can make people do some crazy things, eh?

There are some crazy people in some crazy places in this world. Guess we can't keep an eye on all of them all of the time...although this is quite ridiculous.

Well her children got one million rupees, do you know how many Hyrulean shields you could buy with that shit?

Too soon man!

...

Ok I laughed a bit =P

But seriously, 14.000$ is crap =/
For something of that scale, I'd say she deserved a lot more. I mean her mother just got burned alive in front of her and there giving her just enough to buy a car.

Sorry, I dont think I understand what you are trying to say. Clarify?

We (the West) did burn women who we accussed of witchcraft.

You said you wished it happened in the US so you could say Americans and it of course did happen in the US, the Salem witch trails being the famous example

IIRC, no witches were burned at Salem. A number of people were hanged, though.

That might sound like a quibble, but...well, in parts of Europe, if people played nice they'd be strangled before being burned, as it was much more humane.

Hanging people is barbaric, but burning them alive is much worse.
