What's this?

Yeah, I don't know. Could be, but my point still stands.

Reading about it a bit more, sounds like it was a cretin every bit as sick as the manchester and london bridge attackers. Kudos to the Imam for calming the crowd and keeping them from killing the perpetrator (although part of me would have liked to see some vigilante justice in this case).

Aren't we sort of tacitly assuming that this was about vigilante justice? -- hoolstoptheheels 06/19/2017 09:02AM

I wouldn't call murdering civilians vigilante justice. -- WahooRQ 06/19/2017 10:26AM

Arguable whether "vigilante justice" is ever justice. -- hoolstoptheheels 06/19/2017 11:44AM
