    He was known for breaking and entering, but the murderer was not being attacked and nobody’s car had been broken into according to the article.

    It seems to me everyone is willing to dismiss a murderer because the person who was murdered is an “undesirable”.

    Edit: it seems like people support preemptive murder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Most people on the internet are emotionally little kids who fantasize about ending the lives of people who “deserve it”. They have little understanding of how most things in the world actually work.

      When life puts them in a position they think they are righteous and justified, they can be capable of unimaginable cruelty. While seeing themselves as the “good guy” the whole time. I’ve seen it.

      Yup, it’s the old “He was no angel” trope. Lots of people think it’s OK to kill non-angels.

      How do you how he wasn’t being attacked? I am definitely not condoning strangling someone to death but we don’t know what happened.

        From the article:

        “determined the owner of the vehicle interrupted the car prowl and confronted the male, and they got into a physical altercation. During the altercation, the man fell unconscious, and the vehicle owner separated from him.”

        The murderer interrupted the man who he presumed was prowling and choked him to death.

          “Hey! Are you trying to break into my car? Stop!”

          “Don’t tell me to stop! I’ll fucking kill you man! I’m going to fucking kill you!”

          Just one of a million different scenarios where confronting a person breaking into cars might turn into that person turning violent and trying to kill the one confronting them.

            Still doesn’t make it okay to kill them, which is contrary to the feeling of the comment thread of this post.
