I disagree with this. If we are a country of Laws, then we are not a country of mob rule. This past decade, ‘activists’ have camped out and frankly threatened/ terrorized people whom they decided ‘deserved it’ or ‘hadn’t sufficiently paid penance’ or had otherwise violated their particular peculiar codes of ethics. It goes with mob rule, brownshirts, mob rule, hooligans, and everything NOT of the Rule of Law.

To me it is baying hounds and I find it very unsettling that it has become acceptable.

You are living in the past.

It's a two-way street. When the law treats some people differently than others for the same offense (think Hillary as well as this punk), then the law is meaningless and it's rule ceases. This does not occur in a vacuum.

It has a long history in America. Read The Ox-Bow Incident. This is peanuts.

“I disagree with this. If we are a country of Laws, then we are not a country of mob rule.”

They are not breaking the law in any way.

What if our legal system is the mob rule? A small mob of Liberals who don’t care about right or wrong. This man spent three months in prison for sexually assault an UNCONSCIOUS woman. Is three months a just sentence?

Yes, the private property protests are getting out of hand. The picture of the protesters makes it pretty clear that it is a group of young, smelly libs doing this. I don't like the verdict anymore than they do, but they have no business camping out in front of that house. Again, this is part of the Obama effect - agitating is what community organizers do.

I agree with you 100%

I as well, that being said, when justice is not served it drives people to assure justice is rendered. In this case justice was not served. The judge should be put in jail.

I agree whole-heartedly with your view. I fear for the time when this kind of mob justice is applied to those unjustly condemned either in a court of law or in the court of public opinion. Having said that, I believe that Judge Persky ought to face some kind of reprimand and so also the probation officer who recommended the 6 month sentence.
