      Apologies for stereotyping... but you must be American...

      Civilized countries arrest someone, then try him. People are not guilty until proven guilty... and you certainly won't get shot until proven guilty.

  2. Wow, spam worse than murder! by Shivetya · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Amazing on how some people view the world. Apparently if you interfere with their lives or fun its OK to make jokes about killing the person who causes it.

    Were any lives lost? Human or animal? So how is this so adversely affecting you or others that it should cost this man his life.

    Look, we have people fight every day to keep monsters alive, serial killers and rapist who have proven their lack of value, are given more accordance than the homeless. Something is very wrong in society when monsters are more important than victims and when punishment has little bearing on the crime
