For those that don't feel like watching a video: the short story is, one of these Antifa-laced rioting mobs, decided that a random house was a "center for human trafficing", and the evil, corrupt police weren't doing anything about it... So they did. By burning it to the ground. Meanwhile: one of the people who LIVED in that house had to watch it burn from her hospital bed after giving birth.

This, this right here, is why "mob justice" is DANGEROUS, and doe NOT work, and is NOT a thing you want in place of an imperfect police force. Mobs are as stupid as their dimmest bulb... possibly more so; given how prone to group-think us social monkeys are. A mob is NOT formed to "get justice"; it is formed to hurt and "punish" those the mob has already decided are guilty... And provide catharsis for its members but that's just a side benefit... or so we'd be lead to believe. Thus; the actual guilt or innocence of the target of the mob's wrath is not even a factor in consideration; it's more important that SOMETHING, ANYTHING at all, "pays". Anyone who has studied the Witch trials of Europe and early North America can tell you about this.
You might THINK "oh, but I'm safe: the mob will never come after me! I'll even join them because they say they're the good guys and they just want to hurt bad people who deserve it! They have it coming!" Well: you're sure in for a rude awakening when, not if, WHEN the mob decides you are the target of their wrath... Because they'll put exactly as much consideration into it as you did, they'll pause for thought exactly as long as you did, and show exactly as much mercy as you did... IE: NONE. And nobody will be there to help you; because they're all terrified of the mob too... Or they're part of it and are doing the exact same mental dance you did.
There's a meme out there that "people who fall into the social justice mind trap have only ever read one series of books, and it's Harry Potter or The Hunger Games." So, allow me to quote the former: "There will come a time when we all must choose between what is right, and what is easy." Joining, supporting, or endorsing a mob that says "we're for good things and against bad things!", sight unseen and with no pause for thought is EASY, being the one to stand on principal is not.
But hey; I know I'm surrounded by ANTIFA supporters on this site: go ahead, do what you like. I'm sure you or anyone you care about will NEVER be the meat thrown to the monster to appease it; that will probably be strangers, strangers the mob say deserve it, and who are you to question the mob? They are big, and you are small.

Just add the fact they use any weapon they get their hands on and the habit of 'losing their head' and You'll be living the live action movie of Resident evil 4,5,and 6
hell maybe even Dante
And despite being a bisexual person of color to use the Intersectionalist gobbledygook terminology: I STILL get labeled a "white supremacist"; just because I have the balls to criticize Disney's handling of Star Wars of all things... Never mind my opposition to mob rule and racial identitarianism...
