“I wasn’t saying what I believe but how communities behave “the
community believes they will resolve this problem themselves as a
community”. Rather than “Laurel believes communities should resolve it
themselves”. I probably shoulda put it in quotes, but it wasn’t a
quote.

Look I agree re: vigilantes…”

Nothing I've seen Laurel say takes away from  her original position that vigilantism is legitimate if arranged through Facebook.I would still like to see Laurel why she does not believe that open discussion might reduce a man's chance of a fair trial or why it doesn't matter.Laurel's view, as I have seen it expressed, continues to be, as you quote, that the community will resolve its own issues, even if that is through mob rule and vengence.
