Lieutenant Horatio Laine says: Just tell me one thing, Vanessa.
Lieutenant Horatio Laine says: Why'd you have the Furlbrows killed?
Vanessa VanCleef says: I had no choice, lieutenant. They recognized me. The only people in the world who even knew I existed, recognized my face from when I was an infant.

She does not care for people of Westfall. She killed Fulbrows because they recognized her and _might_ have endangered her revenge plans.

# Vanessa represented the hope of what could have been, the hope of an eventual understanding between the Defias and Stormwind, if justice had only been met and people had only sat down to talk. #

She didn't talk to Fulbrows. She wasn't any "hope". The only thing on her mind was revenge.

I get why she could think the Fulbrows were dangerous, but was she afraid that the horse would rat her out too?

Good thing there is only one plot hole in that CS:I homage quest line!

Well, I'm pretty sure the King wasn't thinking about justice when he exiled the whole stonemason's guild over someone throwing a rock.

Side note: A video of the riot was enhanced by SI:7 and clearly shows Victor Prestor throwing the rock. This was never brought to the attention of the new King because the guard tasked with delivering the missive to Bolvar met an unfortunate end at the hands of a Blood Elf assassin sent to kill Lady Prestor. Shaw only had the two copies of the video and thought after seeing her turn into a dragon thought that his retirement plans at GM island would be interrupted by an untimely death if his copy saw the light of day.
