> It may be, in some cases, unjustified by he facts, but what makes a lynching a lynching has nothing to do with whether the accusations made are unjustified.
I agree with this statement. A lynching is a lynching regardless of why it is done.
> I don't think you understand what a lynching is, because none of what you have described resembles one in any meaningful way.
I don't think you understand what a lynching is, otherwise you would recognize that a mob of people reacting emotionally to harm another person is exactly that. e.g. Webster, 1913: "To inflict punishment upon without the forms of law." That is literally what happened.
