  • No, it’s not mob justice.

    Generally, “unfair justice”, like mob justice is assessed by undue, unjust, or extreme punishment. Lack of punishment is not “unfair justice”. The US goes as fair to explicitly ban “double jeopardy” as it does not want “innocent “ people to face undue hardship.

    In this case, the possible punishment is 100% within the legal system. At worst, trump receives the same punishment as any other criminal convicted of the same crimes. At best, Trump receives a lighter punishment as the result of the election. There is nothing undue or just about a lighter punishment.

    Mob justice is a problem as it doesn’t allow for due process and proper representation. The “convicted” often ends up with non-reversible punishment (like mutilation or death) based on arbitrary “mobs”. Since the only outcome here is a reduced sentence, there isn’t an argument for mob justice.

    TLDR: mob justice and similar “undue trials” really only care about wrongful convictions. Wrongful “not guilty” decision are not a “problem”

    You’d think, but my bank is actively becoming hostile towards people walking in.

    My debit card literally never works at the ATM, so I just take the 2 minutes to walk in and fill out a withdrawal form. It’s fine for the occasional need for cash.

    Last time, they basically told me, in the future were requiring your debit card for security. There isn’t any reason for you to come in.
