  >Your average individual mistakes vengeance for justice. I think it's far graver than that, sadly: A cacophony of kangaroo courts, all yelling into echo chambers. Worse, though, is the failure to delineate between an individual's actions and those who have nothing to do with the 'x' thing in question. More egregiously, as a result of that aforementioned failure, even family members of those "suspected" for 'x' thing are ripe targets for abuse; which is entirely ignoring the premise that the individual in question could ultimately be innocent, in the end[0]. It seems that this group of individuals (en masse) demands its pound of flesh and its going to get it, no matter who it comes from. I'd say that's far worse than simply mistaking vengeance for justice.
