German Retribution!
A story about some German pensioners kidnapped and tortured a financial adviser that allegedly lost their money is on Huffpo. I hope the mainstream media doesn't pick up on this story because it is dangerous. I am not about surpressing information but people are losing their houses. That makes people unhappy, combined with the stream of hate speech already flooding AM radio and cable news, which could spell trouble for a few unlucky bankers.

The possibility of copycat crimes has been an ethical quandry for the media.
Suppressing truth and reality is against the public interst, but some individuals could really be damaged.
What to do, tell, or not tell, just as just report what is happening in front of you, or partecipate in the action, perhaps to stop a crime or prevent pain and suffering.
Sometimes decisions cannot be easily deemed black or white.
I agree with ninja.
Although I must say that when there doesn't seem to be any person or persons held accountable for the major damage that has been done, history does show that people will turn vigilante.
Accountability matters. I feel terrible for this man but I'm not surprised.
An odd observation from my standpoint is that here in the U.S. people are shooting their own families, themselves and/or others under such massive economic pressure and I have yet to see any kind of real outrage in the form of strikes, protests, etc. against the financial organizations that are guilty as sin, remain unregulated and seem to have gotten off scott free. Blame seems to be misdirected all over the place.
Scary times.
