would you kill a man for your car stereo?
i hope you all would say no to that question. and, yet, it happened. i'm not surprised that it could happen, that someone could die over something so insignificant. what does surprise me a bit are some of the sentiments expressed in the comments of the article. i didn't read all 22 pages of comments, but ones like, "karma," or "justice," and so on sadden me. and this one, "The Lord works in mysterious ways. Society has just been improved," really takes the cake. the callousness and lack of humanity displayed by people in online settings is almost unimaginable. i say almost because if you spend any time online in forums, you frequently see this sort of behavior in a vacuum.
finally, what drew me to this article was the title, which i've swiped part of for my own title. what happened to this man should not be called justice in any form. yes, it was retribution meted out on the streets, but in no way is it justice.
