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?

Who cares anyway? They're just stupid comments on a mediocre platform. If they're promoting violence, they should be subject to moderation and/or removal. They did however cause that girl to die whether willfully or not and if guilty, should be dealt with severely. But I see you're more interested in demonizing the "right".

The story itself doesn't have much of an emotional impact on me because I can't think of why this is an especially bad thing. If a slut dies as a result of partying with thugs, is this an especially bad thing for society?
