I mean I guess lol usually people use examples from the country in question or atleast examples from more recent cases than 50 years ago. I also did not expect that the example would also show that the act of vigilante justice from Germany 50 yeas ago still was convicted and sentenced to 6 years and patrolled in 3. It's a little shorter than the 10 or 11 years from the posted article but unless she kills again in prison, she'll be out before serving 10. I personally know a shitbag who was convicted of dwi manslaughter for killing another driver between 5-12 years ago about and he was sentenced to 6 and released without fuckin parole after only 3 years for good behavior.
Everything that happened to this woman is fuckin horrible and as long as the person she killed was undoubtedly the person responsible, then noone is arguing he didn't deserve to die. However the other people here saying this is bullshit and that if she was white she'd be Scott free is absolutely marginalizing the hell this woman went thru and the sacrifice she KNEW she would face as the cost of taking justice in her own hands. It is so fucking commendable and respectable to do what she did but the 10 years was inevitable and is par for the course for this type of conviction in the US justice dept.
Oh I never listed precedence because you never asked for it. She was just an example of a similar sitiation where people were indeed sympathetic.
