Default hit and run? passenger beaten to death by mob

nice to see you yankees are not immune to the rabble rabble mentality when it comes right down to it.
Shame for they guy for trying to do the right thing though

Very tragic.

It might be best not to discuss such highly emotive news events whilst General Topics is Condition Orange.

Lets have something a little more trivial for a change!

It is not emotive (at least for me), and it is not "something American". This is psychological group dynamic at work, and there is no country and no people where it does not happen. It's an incident reminding us of man's biological side of nature, not more, not less. In stories like this we see how thin the civilizational make-up of our behavior and decision-making really is.

Actually, what I express - by content - is owed to Freud.
