huh? where's the logic in saying that?
some lynch mobs actually harm people physically
this lynch mob has established the truth
totally different
Hey, agip, good to hear from the best poster on LRC.
1) Yes, some lynch mobs harm people physically and others do less damage (or less obvious physical damage). The note that they are "all the same" should not be taken too literally - which I think that you know without me saying so. It is meant as something more like "Lynch mobs all have the same mentality and human dynamic built into them. One predictable aspect is that they will justify their actions in sanctimonious terms..." I used the shorthand which I assumed (incorrectly) would be understood.
2) This mob is not everyone on the thread. Just like the destructive mobs in Baltimore did not constitute everyone participating in protests in Baltimore. There are several on here who have done some good investigative work and established the truth. My hat is off to this crowd. There are several others who constitute nothing more than an Internet lynch mob as Bad Wigins correctly pointed out.
