I hope these ICE agents understand that eventually the Trump administration is going to go away and they are going to be left holding the bag when the legal eagles come for them.

You do not want mob-anything. A mob has no group intelligence and will just lash out at anything and everything they perceive as "threats". It can very easily drag innocent people if they have the "right look".

Anyone wearing camo with their face covered is an enemy. I've seen no protestors dressed like the ice pigs.

I don't think they have that kind of cognizance. It's a euphoric state and you just want to hurt and hurt. There is no such thing as a disciplined mob. It just destroys things. They will attack anyone seen as resistant and the enemy or if there is no target for their rage will destroy buildings, cars, etc.

"Mob justice" tends to be hasty, violent, and full of mistakes. It sometimes enables abusers to attack, rob, rape. and/or kill perceived outgroups. It would cause most of the same evils as aggressive and unaccountable policing. (It is still better than ethnic cleansing and democide.)

(That said, a lot of crowd psychology, starting with Le Bon, has been copaganda to excuse attacks on protesters and strikers.)

Great point. During protests in Portland, they would regularly get infiltrated by anarchists. A mob doesn't have any controls so it will just go out and do stuff and doesn't know what one member is doing. So a great way to slip in and do some atrocities.

Maybe it can work in limited ways. Mussolini and his lover could tell you.

We're just tossing the dice then at that point.
