This isn't a trial. It's just digital insults. There is no evidence criteria for that =).

So we expect our legal system to work one way, but don't practice what we preach? We're hypocrites.

'Hypocrites'? I'm shocked, shocked that you would make this kind of digital judgment without first obtaining proof beyond a reasonable doubt!

The fact that this post, along with many others, exists is proof.

The word "hypocrites" would only apply if Mark Bao had done something that the legal system would do, like send the guy to jail.

"We" refers to those perpetuating & supporting this vigilantism.

What the fuck? Is this really the standard HN holds itself to?

stop being self righteous, hacker news isn't a religion.

I will definitely keep this in mind the next time I want to digitally insult someone on HN.
