We've seen vigilante justice celebrated before in America - see Trayvon Martin getting murdered by George Zimmerman. Half of the country thought it was ok to kill a little boy in a hoody because a grown man was scared. Zimmerman walks around as a free man today. Mainly because SOME of the public was ok with the murder.

This shooter had support from most people BEFORE anyone knew a thing.

I've seen people online theorizing that Luigi had major chronic pain from a botched back surgery and that it likely drove him crazy. The public is already building his defense.

this is a big problem in USA history of justice, this kind of shotgun justice

the press is the main responsible party for it, the US based media are the most inflammatory shock jockeys of the world of media at all... though these days almost all of the media are vendors of sensation

IMO, the people who leaked the identity of the suspect should be sent to jail, automatically

this stuff is not ok, it's one thing when people talk scuttlebutt but it's another when government and law enforcement actually declare they are fingering someone, this is not ok, this is not how it works, it completely biases the adjudication of the person's defense in a very negative way

And this makes jury selection impossible!
