I don't like mob justice in c/goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Xi Zhongxun, the father of Xi Jinping, was accused of being anti-communism.

That was a lie. He was actually communist. It didn't matter. He was savagely beaten up by an angry mob and thrown in prison without any trial.

I don't like mob rule. I like having a court system.

Politicians don't fall from the sky. If you vote for crazy politicians, they will do crazy shit.

I believe anyone accused of a crime should have the right to a fair trial and a lawyer.

Until recently, I believed my opinion was mainstream.

It's not.

In Italy, a respected newspaper was attacked and vandalized by activists who claimed their coverage of the Middle East was biased. I find this extremely surprising. La Stampa has published many articles such as "Israel commits war crimes". Apparently that was not enough. There was just a wild claim on social media. That's it. Then people stormed the newspaper and vandalized it. Journalists received death threats. I think this is fucked.

Recently in France, a far-right activist was beaten to death on camera. He was on the ground and a crowd of 10/15 masked people kept beating him. The guy is far-right, but he has no criminal record. A crowd just decided that the death penalty was appropriate for him.

Never liked mob justice. Never will.

I believe anyone accused of a crime should have the right to a fair trial and a lawyer.

Apparently, that's no longer accepted.

political propaganda units promoting violence and murder?

La Stampa is promoting murder and violence? 🔪🩸

Really? That's completely illegal under Italian law.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I can't just scream "I think you are a pedophile" then violently punch you in the face.

It doesn't work like that.

She isn't a sacred figure. She is not the living embodiment of Palestine.

Don't confuse a cause and individuals.

France right now is like a powder keg

This far-right activist was beaten by a street group calling themselves the Young Guards ("Le Jeune Gardes"). What makes this case dangerous is that Raphael Arnault, leader of Young Guards, is also a famous French MP.

He is part of a left-wing party calling themselves the France Rebellion ("France Insoumise").

Raphael Arnault has been involved in street fights with Young Guards against Lepen supporters. He was even sentenced to jail by a judge. However, his political party always defended him, despite his criminal conviction.

Now, the France Rebellion party is getting blamed for this death. And they are facing massive calls for physical retribution.

Things could really get out of control.

Let's hope that cool heads prevail.
