How sad, Charlie's mindset is misleading him. He should have given it a careful thought before taken the law into his own hands, no one has the right to kill or attempt to kill another human being. A gentleman does not believe in superstitious stories instead, will try to turn all negatives to positives. Hope Charlie will be brought to justice. Regarding the writer of this story, a straight forward simple and direct to the point English (basic) would have been preferable in my view. Not every reader did Shakespeare at school.
