What is your point?   What was done to THEM, and ME, was done in a NON-AP world!   By GOVERNMENT people, mostly, or people doing the government's bidding,
 Those facts establish the NEED for AP, not an argument against it!!   It's truly amazing you act like you don't see this,  

>Is it forgotten that the "normally good humans" can overnight get out
their pitch forks and torches, and pitch in that $5 to have "the evil
pedophile Richard Stallman or was that Jacob Applebaum the rapist"
murdered for the misdeeds?

While there remains a huge power-structure called "the government" in existence, employing many millions of people, and taxing tens or even hundreds of millions of people, who is surprised that a relatively small number of them can get victimized, mostly because of the motivations of that government?
So I ask again:  "What is your point"?   Are you implying that a well-functioning AP-type system will, NECESSARILY, work in a defective way similar to today's governments?   How could it?   Defend your claims! 

>When such a system is unleashed, and the "apparent" crime so
motivates the crowd to become the mob, there is no court that the mob
will ever defer to - the mob will simply ensure, post haste, that
justice is first and foremost delivered!

THAT sounds like a great description, of a great idea.  Just not the idea you were thinking of.
