than I can count.

But really, IMHO, this story isn't about being "liberal" or "conservative", it's about whether you believe that the rule of law applies to all people, regardless of circumstances. In other words, no crime justifies another.

Of course, this story is especially horrific with all the circumstances, but really, for me, the underlying message is that who the people were shouldn't matter.

It is disheartening to me that so many here are willing to throw out the justice system and go back to the jungle. I have to believe that they simply haven't thought out the ramifications of their way of thinking.
