I don't really like this kind of mob revenge, either you have a justice system, or you don't.
"As the mother of a daughter, I have to ask what if it was your daughter?" this is the Fox News question, it's a moron question. It leads as the gender identification, men would be sympathetic to other men and women to other women. The real question is "as a citizen how do I want to punish this crime without passion or hatred?". It's not a revenge, it's penal justice, a society protecting itself as a whole.
Moreover, it looks like the police fucked up the investigation and shat over the defendant's rights, where is the call to fix that? We don't use mob justice because the police didn't do its job. A courageous and just judge is also someone who is heartbroken to have to release a defendant because his rights were violated. It's someone who places justice and due process over everything else. Tomorrow you might be the victim of a mob or get your rights violated, how will you react if you are part of the mob today?
