The actual problem is that those people haven't been given much of a trial-worthy case. More often than not, the demagogue in question has been feeding the crowd some emotional BS, filled with half-truths or even outright lies. And the emotional frenzy he's whipped up, makes it outright dangerous to start poking holes in his …logic.
Lets take the case of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Frank
People in general hate the Jews and some anti-semite pointed Leo's ethnicity (Jews are well known for their pedophilia and ritual killings), so crowd lynched him . Everyone is happy and the highly-paid position of this Jews was freed for a goyim. I.e. by lynching society extorted a harmful foreign element.
Other example are Islamic countries where crowd lynches some whore or homosexual and by that increasing society moral.
If people want to lynch a homosexual or a nigger, why stopping them?
