This is all well and good, but in the instance of the whole village rising-up and killing the person none protested against it. If we took a poll here, I am sure most would be against vigilantism with a few for it. Nevertheless, the people in that village, when faced with the decision to respect principal of law or taking it into their own hands, did indeed commit murder. Which begs the question: Do you think that in the same position that they were in you would put your life or your neighbors lives at extreme riskfor that principal? In short, what is more important, your life or a principal?

[QUOTE="dahermit, post: 15667, member: 459"] This is all well and good, but in the instance of the whole village rising-up and killing the person none protested against it.
