You overestimate that subset of society's ability to process actions and their consequences.

And just where are all these people just like me that are wrongfully accused?
This group has gotten an average of 2 innocent people freed per month for the last 13 years: LINK
They'd free a shitton more if they had more resources and didn't avoid cases they just didn't think they could get an appeal on. You'd be amazed how many people (some just like you) are in jail based on shady witness testimony that was later proven false.

We're not. We're saying that, in modern civilized societies, you have a trial to determine if she was wrongly accused.

Exactly. This is one of the biggest issues with mob justice. Eyewitness accounts are so inaccurate it's scary. Also, people often falsely accuse others of crimes in these situations and people simply take them at their word, especially in the Middle East.

Not I.
I was clearly(I thought) speaking in hypothetical terms of a different scenario with the same outcome.

Regardless of whether or not she was guilty, mob justice is not justice. This was a sixteen-year-old girl. Do you think she deserved to die like that? Do you think anyone deserves to die like that?
She wasn't even the one who killed the taxi cab driver.

I'm not gonna shame the crowd from beating her up...that country has no rule of law. Once they set her on fire though, the mob just allowed a psycho to get his jollies by killing her. Hopefully they are all haunted by it forever.

Wow, you'd want your kids to see hanging bodies in the town square? Aren't we better than that, as a society? Jeez.
I think people just let their emotions get the best of them in situations like this and don't think about what carrying out this form of "justice" would really look like. And don't get me wrong it's hard to take your emotions out of the situation sometimes, but this is the exact sort of thing we look down on countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran for.

I'll bet my hat, arse, and house cat they are not just like me. Morevoer, i find the low # of falsely incarcerated people an acceptable result of our justice system.
What i find unacceptable and leads me to endorse mob violence is the glacial pace at which justice is served.

You talk a big game but you are either bullshitting around or you lack the intelligence to consider the consequences of mob justice.
If you in any way think a 16 year old getting burned alive immediately is acceptable, you are a lunatic.

Thanks Yoda, but its not naivete, its confidence. Maybe even hubris.

So far this year, there have been more than 20 similar mob burnings in the country
If they just keep burning people eventually they will burn a guilty one. Right?
Did they burn the others for doing it? Maybe this was the first human bonfire and will stop it?

And what is this confidence based upon? Because its not facts.

It's closed-minded arrogance, IMO. But hubris sounds better.

How does one have "the confidence" to avoid being falsely identified of committing a crime? I mean literally, some guy describes a similar guy driving a car like yours, and you get arrested. What control do you have over that?
