Russian Neo-Nazi blogger lynched by mexican mob.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/05/21/racist-taunts-by-a-russian-nazi-inspire-a-lynch-mob-and-a-murder-in-cancun

A russian Neo-Nazi blogger lived in Cancun, Mexico, and spent his days eating fast-food and insulting the mexican people online.

After a long history of unpleasant encounters and insulting mexican people to their face, he was declared "persona non grata" and was ordered to leave Mexico. He stayed. Despite numerous complaints, the mexican immigration-services never bothered to kick him out.

He continued to insult and harass people in person and mock Mexicans online.

When mexican media-reports mentioned him, people started complaining on his Facebook-page. The result was even more racist insults.

Eventually a mob formed and went to his appartment "to teach him a lesson". After he stabbed a teenager in self-defense, he was beaten with sticks and pelted with stones until he collapsed in a puddle of his own blood. The mob believed him dead and dispersed. He was taken to hospital and is now in an artificial coma. He is presumed to have brain-damage from a skull-fracture.

get drunk, and start bellowing "build the wall" and other ethnic insults.

You're guests in a foreign country. Everybody's patience and dignity has a snapping point. You should be on your good behavior.

A pity that the Game of Thrones concept of "guest-right" isn't more widespread in the real world. Maybe then the caricature of the Ugly American would diminish.

I figured that more Americans than Russians visit DU, even including the guys and gals who work for Vladimir Putin and Holy Mother Russia, and they need the lesson most.
