Are you singing praises of mob mentality and wanting to protect US democracy at the same time?

"It's not a mob if they are on my side."

No. I am pointing out that based on the info provided and your own bias you might find the clients or the brigading groups that were talked about above to be either in the right or in the wrong. The way that comment was worded, it’s impossible to tell who the real victims are.

Also I think it can be argued that democracy and mob mentality are pretty damn related :)

This is implied in the fact that no details were given, so I just find it incredibly strange that anyone would consider it an "astute comment". I suppose you must be referencing others in the thread who think they (or Facebook) can simply request a few details and efficiently judge correctly right or wrong.
