I'm not trying to diminish the greatness of her gesture, but she really was shielded from the "You risk the mob turning on you as well" part by two very simple facts: her skin color and being a young woman... kind of hard to imagine a young afro-american woman as being pro-KKK and to mob linch her too :)

That may or may not be the case (I'm not sure mob mentality makes those distinctions), I can't imagine anyone making those judgements in the heat of the moment. It's a truly commendable act.
