Saw this posted on reddit today, and it kinda shocked me, and made me sad.

The guy took a couple pictures of kids that were vandalizing his property, as evidence to report to the police. Someone found out immediately made the assumption that he was a *********, and reported it to the police.

However, this wasn't enough for a couple others. Rather than let law enforcement deal with the issue themselves, and do a proper investigation, they decided to brutally murder the man with no evidence to support that he did anything wrong.

Later police found that "He had not taken any indecent images and that nothing of concern had been found on his computer."

This just saddens me so much. A disabled man who just tried to live a quiet life with his cat and care for his garden, his primary interest, gets brutally murdered off of an assumption that he's a ********* simply because he takes a couple pictures of youths as evidence of vandalization.  

not as bad as the 13 year old girl in syria getting raped by 3 men then burned alive for it.  

Youths today.this world is messed up.  

I hate our world.
Maybe that's why I like Graal so much. Nothing goes wrong in there, while an apocolypse is around the corner for us.  

???? The youths are MORE messed up there.  

Death by lethal injection plz  

inb4 Syria card

This is unfathomable that people still draw conclusions like this and go to such drastic measures to "bring someone to justice" without any supporting evidence. Pathetic.

ever been to the adoption center or w/e  

They should be branded murderers, not vigilantes. Vigilantes dont act on one act of evil, they act on multiple.  

Look at the two young men's perspective.

They see an old guy with no job and always home recording young kids with his camera. Boom. Assumption of paedophile. They were probably frightened and wanted to get rid of the old man immediately before the old man could get his hands on the kids. So they knocked him up, dragged him in the street, and burned him.

What makes me think is why they drug him on to the street publicly.
Clearly stupid.


I would probably assume the same thing if I seen an old guy taking pictures of kids. But I wouldn't have beat him and burned him.

Stereotyping much? Thinking patterns like this contributed to this guy's murder.

And I can't believe you're making an attempt to rationalize this. An old man was brutally murdered, purely because he was seeking justice after 2 kids decided they'd waste their time troubling him by vandalizing his property. I'd put money on the fact these kids went off and spread rumors about him being a ********* or something.  

lmao dumb inbreds

Not going into depth with it.

Thinking from both point of views can bring in an image of how they seen the situation. Me explaining the perspective from the two young adults is just to make you think. Just looking at one side doesn't solve anything. Obviously, they did do the wrong and murder him instead of contacting authorities. (Even though somebody else already had, murdering him wasn't necessary.)

I agree with you that the family probably did think he was a ********* for sitting home everyday doing nothing. I really think the two young adults should've looked over the scene before engaging it

So you think it would have been okay if it wasn't in public? That's what concerns you the most here?
If I was in their position I would have called the cops and kept my eye on the man until they got there, and I think most people would agree with me.
There is no justification looking at this situation from any angle that makes what they did right. Even if he was a real ********* they are still murderers.
