killing the perpetrator? how is distilling justice personally, as being the judge, jury, and executioner, the same as reporting the crime?
basically what you're saying is publicly reporting the crime is taking justice into your own hands, that if he were civil, he would have quietly reported the crime so there wouldn't be any bad publicity.
Simple....Milos proceeded to call a press conference on the spot, and point the finger to Chua...thus making him judge, jury and executioner.
"reporting the crime" would have been calling Manion, then doing his own investigating, gathering evidence, etc.
Publicity (god or bad) is irrelevant....keeping it under wraps would have made dotting I's and crossing T's a whole lot easier and more effective if the goal was to seek justice
