Fear of the crowd has haunted the middle class of England for 400 years.
I’m just glad that this crowd didn’t muse on the robbers upbringing/treatment under late capitalism or his mental health before doing something.
As for the view that you don’t kick a man when he’s down. This can only be held by people who’ve never been in a situation where the man down gets back up

I think due to he was the one carrying the stolen jewellery, which may have been a contributing factor as to why he was slower than the rest of his gang being weighed down with stolen swag.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
It’s like calling mark in rugby. You just have to say, in a loud clear voice:
“I say, you there you little scamp. Stop in the name of her Majesty the Queen”.
Then the subject is obliged to stop, take off their eye mask and hand you the candelabra from their bag marked swag, and say:
“It’s a fair cop, I’d have gotten away with it two of it wasn’t for you meddling kids.”
That’s the law of England.

Don't do that diffrence between gbh and attempted murder..
Mob justice is never pleasant to witness hard to feel sympathetic for the victim though.

All mob justice? Or just the bits you don’t like?

I tend to find that most of those who express these type of squeamish views always have contingent squeamish views.

I've often wondered what a faberge looks like. Given what their eggs are like I reckon probably some kind of parrot with a pained expression on its face.

Well guess if I was part of the mob. I'd be happy. Got to help clear up an incident where the locals stoned a bunch of bombers to death in Basrah . Not a pleasant death if deserved.

Agreed.

For me it's definitely just the bits I don't like. Would love to have witnessed the rattening of bosses in early Industrial Sheffield. Pogroms not so much. I don't think that's hypocritical though, sometimes it's justified and sometimes it isn't.

Well, the ticket did have a cross on it.

Something that upsets me beyond any words available is how whole families could (can?) witness such brutal atrocities with smiles on their faces.

Could you spoiler that fucking horrible picture please.

What the hell are we supposed to tell the kids?
That is generally true of human beings though. Nice to the neighbours, napalm someone else’s out of view.

You mean remove it? Yes, if you think it's best.

It should stay - People MUST be aware of what sort of bastard things went off as reasonable in those lousy times. Hiding the harsh, nasty truth is a bad idea.

I'm not sure I know how that's done.
That is the very reason I attached it despite my own revulsion. I've changed it to the thumbnail mode. Will that be satisfactory for everyone?

Understood. I'll give it a try.

Just put the spoiler code round the image. It's very easy.

It's done.
What level of injury to the man on the ground is acceptable, then? Bruising? Broken bones? Brain damage? Spinal damage? Never being able to walk again? Never being able to feed himself?
How are you going to ensure that, wherever your line of acceptability is, it doesn’t get crossed? After all, a pile of people coming in and just kicking wherever they can kick have no way of really knowing what the consequence will end up being.

No, they don't, nor do they have any idea of what the robber's capacity for violence was and how he was armed. Violence is chaotic either way.
