Good lord, I wonder how long they left him there? And how do you remove tar and feathers? Bet he moved out of the area as soon as he could after this!

I’d say he got off pretty easy considering what might have happened to him.

How hot is the tar, I wonder. I’ve always wondered exactly how injurious this procedure is. Is it just “degrading” and sticky? Or is it burning hot tar that does permanent damage?

The [perp] was tied to a lamppost as masked men poured tar over him then covered him in feathers as women and children looked on. A placard around his neck declared: "I'm a drug dealing scumbag."
Excellent! There is some justice in this world after all. Now, if they only could do this to some lawyers and judges...

From the pictures, it looks like the guy was wearing something over his head (a stocking or balaclava?) and had on a shirt and pants.
If something like driveway sealer were used (instead of hot tar), then it seems likely that the intent was to send a message -- and not to actually hurt the guy. (A real tarring could kill.)

No drug war, no drug dealers.
I wonder if they tar and feather alcohol vendors over there. After all, it's a "drug."

From what I have found on the Internet, tar fully melts at about 200 degrees. I would suggest that putting something on the skin at 200 degrees would cause 3rd degree burns. 3rd degree burns are the worst. 3rd degree means that the burn has worked its way through all three layers of skin. Only good side
least painful, at first, because it has burned all nerves at the burn location. Secondary burns of the 1st and 2nd degree nature around the 3rd degree burn will be very painful.

How hot is the tar, I wonder.It may not have been hot at all. I get 5-gallon buckets of cold-process roof coating at Lowe's.

Tar comes off easily when W-D 40 is sprayed on it.
(Done this after getting tar on myself while repairing the roof...)

Mayhap you are right
no mention of burns or other problems that would require a stay in Hospital.

What do you mean? You mean you’ve never heard of people smugggling corn across the border or killing someone over their sugarcane territory?
