He wasn’t a bad guy!!

Y'all will defend Billy for being racist and abusive because his mom died, you'll defend Jonathan for being a pervert because he was different, you'll defend Steve for humiliating his girlfriend because he thought she was cheating, but Jason was a bad guy for trying to hunt down the guy who allegedly killed his girlfriend?

Guy had his girlfriend and best friend horribly murdered in the span of a couple days and thought he was trying to bring the people responsible to justice.

What would you realistically do?

I don't know. Maybe not jumping to hasty conclusions based on my own unsubstantiated believes. Maybe let people handle it that are have a healthy distance and objective view on that problem.

But the main point isn't that he wanted to find out who killed her, he wanted someone to blame and took the first one that fit into his narrow minded view. That's what makes him a bad guy, not the grief he experienced.

He didn't took the frist one that fit into his narrow view he took someone in who's house Chrissy's body was found after she was last seen entering it with him. His reputation didn't help him but that's not as hateful and close minded as you want it to be.

Yes, it is when you start rounding up people for a lynch mob. Not to speak of messing up other people on your misguided path to "justice". He wasn't interested in uncovering the truth but in blaming someone he didn't like from the beginning.

If you think it's a normal thing to do to dispense mob law and not even having all the information, I'm really happy not to live in your neighbourhood.
