Enraged lynch mobs are why you have democracy and justice systems and human rights rather than the Diktat of the King, which is what we used to have before enraged lynch mobs.
- anonymouz 14y agoIt is a fallacy to assume that just because some lynch mobs took part in an effort with ultimately positive outcome (it took much more than a mob to establish democracy or justice systems), all, or even most, of them are positive. A vendetta against a prosecutor, carried by hugely one-sided, unreflected and self-reinforcing blog-posts does not even come close.
- ucee054 14y agoBut a vendetta against a prosecutor because people are fed up with plea bargain abuse DOES.
- anonymouz 14y agoSo you propose an overzealous and exaggerated prosecution of one individual based on doubtful accusations just to drive a point home and serve as deterrent to others? Sounds awfully like the thing you claim to be protesting.
- chris_wot 14y agoNot many lynch mobs care about human rights. Sheesh.
