andrewcranky Answered:

Well, Let me ask you.
If you were accused of a particularly hyenas crime. Would you rather take your chances with a linch mob or vigilante, or the duly appointed legal system?
It's one thing to defend yourself and others during the occurrence of actual victimization.
But what if you were not caught in the act? What if people only believed you guilty? And then decided on their own to eliminate you on societies behalf?
