It can also be a tie. Like you two right here, both presented fair arguments… Anyway, I think you took the “hypothetical situation” to another case. I was seeing an angry mob physically punishing 1 person (rightfully or not) accused of pickpocketing. So, the “winning” side was kind of guaranteed because it would be many against 1. And, in my case, I didn’t see any weapons. At least, those were the ‘real life’ situations I saw in the news on my home country a few times… it always saddened me. Hence, my opinions here in this thread. Sure, I didn’t consider that in the US 11 out of 10 people carry bazookas.
