Mob actions...

No, it is not justifiable for people to take mob action against lawful measures that they deem harmful or illegal. Firstly, it may be only a slight lawful measure that citizens merely do not completely agree with, in which mob actions are highly inappropriate. Even with large-scale disagreement on exceptionally serious topics, it is very inapt. If the subject is so fiercely violating so many peoples beliefs and ideas, they should take time and consideration in the matter, instead of just disorderly forming together and reeking havoc among it’s region. If the dispute is stressed enough, and exemplified in a composed, rational, sagacious manner, it is much more probable the overruling authorities will take note of the concern and listen too the people without negative repercussions. There is a very broad line between protest and mob-like proceedings. A mod is a large or disorderly crowd; especially : one bent on riotous or destructive action (Merriam Webster Dictionary). Obviously, the mob is not trying to amend or abolish repressive laws, yet to blindly take out their angst upon whatever comes in their path. In addition to that, they are only debilitating their ultimate objective by epitomizing themselves as riotous and insensible. The solutions are protests, which are organized public demonstrations of disapproval (Merriam Webster Dictionary). Again, with organization and rationally, a group of people will accomplish the same, if not more than a mob, with drastically less depressing ramifications.
