The victims of lynch mobs were often, perhaps most of the time, guilty and deserved execution.

From 1880 to 1960 there were a total of roughly 5,000 lynchings, of whom about 2/3 the victims were black and 1/3 white.

I was actually surprised when I discovered these numbers, because I had always assume the number were much higher. That's an average of about 60 per year. In a country the size of the USA, that's not a huge number, as mass (mostly) ethnic murders go.
