"In case you forgot, in a Democracy, the majority rules."

In that case, a lynch mob is a perfect example of a democracy in action.

Basic civics lesson:   a democracy, when not limited by certain principles of individual rights, can be just as tyrannical as any other form of govenment. This is the reason for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. To protect the individual citizens from both the tyranny of government and the tyranny of the majority.

Why is that so hard for some people to understand?
