In the streets? Lol get fucked. Don’t be an asshole unless you want to be treated like one.

Mob justice is how “that evil witch walked across my fields and now my harvest is rotten” turns into lynching innocents. If I can grab someone and accuse them of something and other people jump in on good faith that I’m being truthful, there’s a risk that they’ll end up beating up an innocent if I wasn’t.
What they should do at best is hold the other down for professional truth-finders to come sort out whether the accused actually is an asshole or whether I’m the asshole trying to frame them.

In principle I agree with you but this really requires faith in the justice system to always work. In this case for sure it’s correct, but I wouldn’t be comfortable taking it as a universal rule in our current actual society.
