Again - are you a coward that attributes their support for lynch mobs to “people” rather than owning them, or are you dishonest, presenting other people’s arguments you don’t believe?

I don’t support vigilante justice. That’s why it’s so important for the justice system to do it’s job properly. If it was vigilante justice wouldn’t happen. My point was that people have different motivations for committing crime. A drug dealer may be doing it to escape poverty. A murderer may be trying to get justice for an abused relative. These people can be rehabilitated. You can help the drug dealer learn skills that will allow them to make a living. You can give the vigilante counseling to get over the trauma they’re dealing with and make sure the people who victimize others are kept off the streets, in doing so they are unlikely to reoffend. The same cannot be said for a rapist. There’s something fundamentally broken inside of them that makes them able to ignore basic morality and other people’s body autonomy. There’s no “justification” a rapist can come up with that isn’t disgusting and evil. They cannot be rehabilitated.
