But you know what was stupider

The context

Basically, a bunch of villagers found people giving away candy

And they spread rumours those guys were child molesters,

Oh christ.

So the villagers did the natural thing

That happened right?

I hate moral panic.

And killed them

They lynched some people from the police stations

I mean the people held in them

Yeah that too

It's so stupid man

I hate mainstream media

Oh. Yeah, that's bad.

So they're considering a lynching law I guess?

Yea, the supreme court recommended to the parliament to make anti lynching laws

Though they would be redundant

I can see the debate.

Probably because in murder, there is that one perpetuator

Ah so it would be like hate crime laws in the US

But in a lynching, theres a crowd

adding extra penalties to the crime comitted

at least thats what i assume it would be like

Which was kinda silly. A crime is a crime no matter the intent

Why does intent factor into the punishment?

Y'know what I think could solve the false rape claim problem?

@Blackhawk342 we have those too

@GingaBomber because in English Common Law intent is everything.

Murder must be premeditated for example.

The question is what is being done about the current lynchings? Are they not being prosecuted for a reason that making specific laws would change?

Premediated, but why?

@Schedrevka nope

I want to murder this guy for wht reason

Annoying voice!

I knw the difference between sudden urge, and actually planning it beforehand

Like in Hot Fuzz.

@GingaBomberto determine the degree

1st degree murder is premeditated murder

@GingaBomber It distinguishes between killing someone because you lost control of your car (accidental manslaughter) and intentionally chasing them down and killing them.

The latter is considered worse.
