Mob justice has been wrong many times in the past, and there is a reason why we have learned that such capital punishment requires proof beyond a shadow of a doubt.
People have been executed or died in prison for raping or murdering someone before the advent of DNA testing, and were later found innocent..after their lives had already ended.
The person above suggested that it doesn't matter if he's innocent, it's "worth the risk", because to him even being accused of abusing children is enough to be murdered.
It is not thinking rationally, logically or morally.
It is different if it's, say, a dad who caught the act on person and kills the guy over it.
But execution by the people is supposed to come with proof that they were guilty of it. You can not just accuse someone of something and then kill them for it.
Additionally, and from another important point of view, by murdering someone who is innocent based on accusation alone, you are potentially depriving the victim of their justice. You are potentially allowing the person who actually committed the crime to walk free. That is also immoral.
I didn't say he's innocent. Learn to read.
