Mob violence? The exection was carried about by the government forces that had been fighting for weeks to take Qadaffi's home town. By all reports, the fighting was fierce and desperate with many of Qadaffi's forces fighting fanatically bent on dying rather surrendering. The government forces took heavy casualties.

I don't ascribe what happened to Qadaffi as mob violence, but the execution of a despot who was dispatched summarily with a shot to the temple. They were meteing out justice. Hell, we had been bombing Qadaffi for months trying to kill him and his forces. This was not a criminal matter. We have been killing American citizens using drones.

Here is a excellent report on what happened today.
