I don't understand how 'I'm angry with Mr X therefore I will steal from Mr and Mrs Y and that will make things right' works
If a paedophile is angry with the police because someone is shot is he allowed to go and rape a child to air his frustration?
I'd guess it was more to do with the fact that a large number who turned up couldn't give a shit about the person who was shot or whether the police behaved according to the rule book or not, they just wanted to rob and steal which prevents a far simpler discussion and chance for proof of actual events.

You know Godwin's law?
I reckon there should be a similar one for the first person to bring up paedophiles in the course of a thread. ;)
But you're very right. Most people have no idea about cause and effect, blame attribution or justice. Mob mentality seems to lower the collective IQ.

It was the most deliberately extreme for the sake of example option I could think of.
