One man's vigilante group is another man's lynch mob.There both same thing with same end in mind, and both are averse to uing vilence if it suits their ends. It reminds me of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association and the Johnson County Range War of 1892. The stand of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association was, if you're not with us, you're against us, and if you're against us, you're a rustler and if you're a rustler....we'll lynch you. Nate Champion, falsely accused of rustling found this out the hard way. He died defending his home rather lynching, but the message, from the WSGA was the same, "Cattle Thieves Beware".More This also makes interesting reading. More vigilantism, lynch mob mentallity No difference
