You write these people off as if they are all one thing: nothing but a criminal mob every day, and thus deserving of no consideration, and no justice.
I don't agree that he should necessarily be put on trial if the evidence shows that he reacted to the situation appropriately. If the evidence results in an indictment, he should go to trial. Simple as that. You don't put innocent people on trial to placate mobs.
