It think it is very interesting that lynching is being advocated by a mainstream audience. I don't remember ever seeing discussion like this before except for websites like stormfront. I wonder if these calls for vigilante justice are a sign that there will eventually be a right wing rebellion in the US.

I think the drugging, raping, and theft was probably intentional, but the killing was almost certainly not. So this isn't something that typically gets the death penalty in the US. The question now is why does the population feel the need to circumvent the legal system for this case?

It's just knee-jerk reactionism. The same would most likely occur if the skin colours were changed.
