So guys, not saying this was right, murder is wrong in almost all scenarios. That being said I feel like no one in this thread actually read the article, he didn't just eat a banana. He took a banana that was give as a ritualistic offering to a Hindu deity. Didn't deserve death, but if the accusation is true he had to have expected some serious consequences.
Like come on, if this was an article about a Muslim community beating the shit out of someone for throwing bacon at a mosque, we'd all probably have a different reaction. Murder was too far, but you can't spit in the face of someone's religion or culture and expect nothing to happen.
Yeah, I feel like the same people who initially offer 'prasad' (food offerings to the Gods) and later beat him to death probably gave mixed messages to him...
Fuck alright, I'll admit I missed that part. I retract my previous statement and feel like a fool. I'll leave the comment up to illustrate my lapse in judgement, just in case anyone else only skimmed the article and missed that like I did.
That's big of you. Thank you.
