Whenever you see "we" in a title, it doesn't mean the author believes every single member of the human race feels that way. They're just saying "a lot of people feel that way".
Many people do sympathise with the mob - my grandmother is very nostalgic about when the Krays dominated London, and talks about it as a time when there no paedophiles or drug users.

Unfortunately however, it's implied in it. Do note that there is a click-baitish aspect to the title - albeit, it's a very well constructed title; it implies that if you click on the link and read the article, you are one of those who admire said criminals. I wouldn't call this a "royal we," but rather a "journalistic we." It annoys me too sometimes.... Its understandable some HN commenters who proverbially "take a step back" in their analysis are left with a bad taste in their mouth.
