    None of that amounts to this:

    If things are okay just because we like them and not okay just because we don’t then what kind of morals are acting on?

    The reasons this was justifiable have been explained to you ad nauseum. You insist on pretending like its an arbitrary whim despite that. Do you cry every time a drug cartel kingpin gets shot?

      They literally appealed to the band wagon and a nebulous concept of “social murder”.

          That’s a great point but if you look at some of my other comments here, it’s not the one I’m making. I am against mob violence. But by articulating our limits we can also limit the possibility that this spills over into higher level mob violence that targets the hated person of the day.
