Wells is a brilliant author. He always manages to put a strong moral in his books. I saw the people, and Kemp in major, being paniced oxen. They eventually killed Griffin for fear of not only his insanity, but also the fact that he was different, and people fear that in today's sociaty. Whether we like it or not, people will almost always be persicuted for the fact that they're different.

Griffin is a madman. HE is the killer, not the townspeople. He never uses his invisibility for any kind of good, he never helps anyone. He is self-seeking and cruel.
Even before he turns himself invisible, he steals his father's money. his father kills himself, and he feels no remorse, just indifference. When he is invisible, he plans to start a "reign of terror."
Griffin was not persecuted for being different; he really wasn't persecuted at all. He is hated and feared and despised because he is a killer, not because he's "different."
Even if that was the reason, he turned himself invisible, he was not born that way.
