Two innocent men have been burned alive by a massive lynch mob after WhatsApp rumours branded them child abductors.
A large crowd gathered outside the police station after rumours spread about the two men.
A mob dragged two men out of a police station, savagely beat them and then set them on fire, killing them, after a false rumour was spread on WhatsApp about the pair being child kidnappers.
The mother of one of the men made a desperate plea for the crowd to stop as she watched the lynching unfold on a Facebook livestream.

Yeah, there are only so many ways you can call people stupid shills before the start repeating.
My guess is that is the latest technique to try and deflect the accusations of "shill!". Very typical method of accusing opponents of the crimes you are committing.
I wonder where the trend of using NPC started, seems a little too video game centric to come from Fox & Hens.
