there is a fine line from freedom of expression to harassment. Yet I don't believe this Cecil business has much to harassment, if you hear the stories there's even employees not wanting to work with him. Maybe the law / law enforcement isn't catching up with the "mob" as it should, this type of crimes need to be taken more serious. Hopefully sport-hunting, specially big-game colonial-like sport-hunting, will taken a turn to extinction.

I saw a BBC documentary on Tigers being hunted by colonial englishmen in Burney(?) drove the tigers to extinction, BBC is always in the vanguard.

Yeah, Mob justice of every kind is commonly the result of when people feel there is a lack of action by the designated authorities.

OMG, completely forgot about that. 30-40 people witnessed it and didn't say a damn word. That's a good case of mob justice replacing a failed justice system, but I wonder if it's because it is the exception that makes it memorable...

My favorite part:

Quote
After telling the assembled group not to get in a direct confrontation with McElroy, but instead seriously consider forming a neighborhood watch program, Sheriff Estes drove out of town in his police cruiser.

I always wanted to write a piece inspired by this because it's definitely the kind of thing that would happen in Myroria.

Jack Black isn't a good example for any acting roles or movies, but I seriously like Bernie, which is quite the opposite story of this ones, he was so liked that nobody wanted him convicted of murder (that he confessed).
