If investigations reveal that Otis Byrd was lynched, would you think his murderer(s) are in the same category as ISIS?

I read this story and am furious and disgusted at the thought that regardless of his past, one of our citizens right here could be hanged at his own home. If it is proven that he was in fact hanged, do you consider this similar to the acts committed by ISIS/ISIL?
If the investigation proves this man was murdered, what are your thoughts if it was the family of the victim he murdered? Does an eye for an eye apply - make it ok?

If it was a lynching those involved are murderers. Murderers should be dealt with according to the law.

I wouldn't speculate on it being a revenge murder but, it could be. Regardless of circumstance it pisses me off that the man was killed and, in this manner.

The investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of death (suicide or murder) however, it has the initial appearance that it could very well be a murder.

Yeah tracking all, I just hate speculating. Reading the article you tend to jump to the conclusion that it was a revenge killing with racial prejudice and, it may have very well been that. You know the deal, it just reminds me that there are still those racial barriers in this country, even if that isn't the case in this instance. There are a lot of people that I don't like but it has nothing to do with their color, beliefs or preferences. Just a damn shame!
