Is it justifiable for the people to take mob action against lawful measures that they deem harmful or illegal?

It is not always justifiable for the people to take mob action against lawful measures that they deem harmful or illegal because some lawful measures are true and just while others might be tyrannical and senseless. Violence is also not the best way to approach a change in a place because that is truly unjustifiable. Rebellion was a great crime and it shouldn’t be used to make the authority take notice. Once rebellion succeeds, there comes a chaos about following actions and questions follow about who would control and change the laws that were rebelled about. For example, during the American Revolution and especially in the beginning of it, the colonists were rebelling against the crown by tarring and feathering British officials, destroying British cargo, and humiliating the British troops stationed in the colonies. Mob action in this case helped the colonists achieve independence because not only were they persistent but also great in numbers, which made lives of the British in the colonies much more difficult. This rebellion succeeded and it became just and controlled. During the Revolution however, America was one big mess in terms of government and policies. Eventually, the colonists started to work together to build a new nation with new laws.
