Yup. The other people certainly have no idea if this guy is guilty or not (not that violence should be used anyway) and have reacted to the accusation alone. It's obviously an emotional crime but we can't have people attacking someone whose accused of something like that.

There was someone who had some learning difficulty and had a run in with a neighbour, that neighbour then spread a rumour he was a paedophile, he was beaten to death eventually despite his many pleas to the police for help as the violence and threats escalated.

Let the police do their jobs.
