I was actually thinking about mob justice vs due process yesterday, and how it applies to the most despicable individuals.

On the one hand, mob justice often provides a sense of that guy definitely got what he deserved. But on the other, news about what happened to Mussolini’s body was allegedly what preceded Hitler’s decision to kill himself.

If history had been allowed to witness the two (not to mention Himmler) truly brought to justice on a world stage, could it have potentially decreased the chances others would feel emboldened enough to follow in their footsteps?
