The article doesn't say, however a gang size jumping of a person is never okay, regardless of what he said or did. Even if he put a noose up, he did not physically harm anyone. Can't see how one action justifies a beat down by a group of people and beating a person after they are knocked out.

Why would it not be attempted murder? A group beating someone after he passes out from the beating? What is the goal there? The person already was physically beaten so bad that they are no longer 'awake', and you continue to beat them. IMO, there should be very little tolerance for this type of act. Fighting with someone is one thing, beating them to the possibility of death is another.
