State institutions secretly organized mob violence through the press

Evidence

The Roman army had institutional accountability mechanisms — career advancement, unit cohesion, legal complaint procedures, economic logic — that reduced the centurion’s incentive to abuse his disciplinary authority. The Roman household had essentially no comparable accountability for the paterfamilias. The result was that the household setting, lacking accountability, produced more severe operational practice than the institutionally accountable military setting did. Where there is institutional accountability for those in authority, violence diminishes. Where there is no accountability, violence expands. — , The Rod and the Child, 2000 (#contradicts, via linked claim)

Moments of national mourning, particularly after a terror attack committed by Muslims or individuals perceived as outsiders, also spark a desire to exact revenge and perpetrate violence against anybody and everybody perceived to be Muslim, or more generally, not American. This mass anger, typically enforced through acts of vigilante violence directed at innocents, is also often endorsed and emboldened by formal policy that deems Muslims to be suspicious and to be members of a faith that ties them to the terror acts. — Khaled A.
