The fag justice league

"/b/, for its part, isn't unanimously on board with the apparent trend towards the 21st century version of stringing people up in the town square.

This screencap of one of 4chan's threads (via) gives you a good sense of the tenor of the debate: "This place used to be the darkest pit of the internet... now this place is full of justicefags all over." The future of /b/: Aggressive nihilism versus wrathful lynch mobbing. What a choice!"//gawker.com

"The same sense of Internet mob justice which propels 4chan users to issue death threats against a precocious 11-year-old can sometimes turn the board into a powerful crime-fighting force.

You can't have mob justice without a really scary mob."//gawker.com
