That's how Jesus walked:

“I move off love and unity. That’s how Jesus, Yahweh walked… showing love regardless of what someone did to you. We can’t treat hate with hate.”

This man protected Jake Lang in the crowd in Minneapolis despite knowing he was a white supremacist there to incite.

If you’re having a bad day, at least you’re not Florida Man Jake Lang, who was convicted of assaulting a police officer with a baseball bat on J6 and is now running for Senate and running for his life in Minneapolis.

Probably should go on to say - a little bit conflicted myself ...
When people deliberately put themselves in positions as to invite trouble ...
I confess to having mixed feelings about the length that remaining society is obligated to 'save' or 'rescue' them .. ?
(while at the same time sometimes putting their own lives and safety at risk?)

Other hand ... A 'mob' is a dangerous and nasty beast ...
And abandoning anyone to its mercies ... (regardless of transgression - which in this case amounted to an ugly form of speech .. ) Is a very far cry from anything that a truly civilized society (or gathering) would care to label 'justice'.

'just deserts' perhaps. (depending on level of real damage meted out) 'Justice'? - Sorry, no.
