And yes, I'd go after Shinji without a doubt.

And he hardly put me on the spot, not a person said anything about it.

He was already being passed off as kind of dumb, a vote from him at that point meant nothing with his refusal to back up anything he said.

That said, I dont' think you're the 'governer' as some people have suggested. I proclaim perhaps Orihime, the town security guard, was the one preventing the lynch of Gin.

That's just guessing that the nature of the town security guard was that though, it's possible nothing substantial will come of that musing.
