“I have no clue who these people are or what the situation is, but I’ve seen more than enough angry mobs appear out of nowhere after an accusation of a crime.”
What are some specific examples of this phenomenon you’re referring to?

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." Humans are inherently tribal. If enough of us get together in a group, we are capable of terrible things - and the justification of them.
Violent mobs organised through private channels by men seems to be more similar to what KiwiFarms are doing than what they are reacting to.
This seems like a fundamentally different scenario than the OP I was responding to, glad I asked for specifics ;)
