I'd say the entire town sat as a jury and ruled the result of the shooting as justifiable.
Works for me.
I can't believe his lawyer didn't share his fate. He's the one that made the repeat offenses possible.
Used to live near there. Wasn't there when it happened, but folks in them parts give you the idea they mean what they say. If you're lookin' for trouble, you won't find it scarce in those parts.
Looks to me that the SoB got overdue process. The law should serve to protect the oppressed not the oppressor. And, served pretty well in this instance.

Notoriously brutal. Seeming impunity.
Defending the innocent is not "vigilantism." It is humanity.
See what people can accomplish when they work together?
