The post consists of explanatory text positioned above a vintage 1953 photograph. The text explains that the image shows two 4-year-old neighbors, Philip Noble and Ross Munroe, playing in an asbestos sandpit in a Wittenoom, Australia backyard, a common practice for local residents at the time who were unaware of asbestos's toxicity. It further notes that Philip later worked as a footballer and died of mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer, at age 36, while Ross became a high school principal and died of the same disease at age 38.

The middle small inset is a headshot of a member of the vigilante group responsible, labeled 'THE VIGILANTE'. The top right is surveillance footage showing the victim being abducted near a car, circled in red, labeled 'THE ABDUCTION'.

A three-panel meme illustrating a downward spiral of harmful choices. The top panel shows a man labeled 'ME' glancing at a woman labeled 'LONELINESS' while another woman labeled 'ALCOHOL' smiles directly at him. The middle panel depicts 'ME' embracing 'ALCOHOL' closely, with a third woman labeled 'DRUGS' smiling in the foreground. The bottom panel features 'ME' kneeling and proposing to 'DRUGS' with a ring box, as a woman labeled 'SUICIDE' walks past them in the background.
