A state of lawless mind

I wonder what is scarier- A land with a few men who think rape is OK? or a land with men and women who think it is OK to take law ( their personal beliefs on justice) into their hands?
The rape and murder of a woman in Hyderabad was tragic but the incidents that followed were scary.
When groups of people assume it's right to mete out justice their way, we are treading onto very dangerous grounds. 
Tomorrow, I could be falsely implicated in a very heinous crime and before I could even prove my innocence, I could be lynched to death by a section of self righteous people. 
Some powerful bodies of people could manipulate people's thoughts and emotions to implicate and kill innocent people while the real perpetrators go free.
Police could use this strategy to close many files and be the heroes of a public that seeks fake hopes and assurances...
The disillusionment in the justice system is absolute, and the anger and fear need closure. In this state, anything can masquerade as good and just and impress us... and in the meantime, mob mentality will spread unabated...
