    “Mob justice” is a boogeyman invented to distract you from the fact that the cops and the state give you no justice at all.

      It’s not even mob justice, it’s vigilante justice. It just so happens in this case practically everyone is pretty happy about it having happened.

      The mob never called for this CEO’s death, we’re just not sad he was killed. Even if in general most of us wouldn’t actively call for people to be killed.

      If it makes CEOs afraid, then fantastic, a nice happy side-bonus.
