So guys, not saying this was right, murder is wrong in almost all scenarios. That being said I feel like no one in this thread actually read the article, he didn't just eat a banana. He took a banana that was give as a ritualistic offering to a Hindu deity. Didn't deserve death, but if the accusation is true he had to have expected some serious consequences.

Like come on, if this was an article about a Muslim community beating the shit out of someone for throwing bacon at a mosque, we'd all probably have a different reaction. Murder was too far, but you can't spit in the face of someone's religion or culture and expect nothing to happen.

Oh wow no one said it was a magic banana! That changes everything!

No?

Well, "beating the shit out of" vs "killing" are still two different things...
