[DL] Arguments against lynch law

["TFM" <tfm@post.pl>]

Folks,

I've just read DL andventure (no name given, because of spoilers) in which
posse has to stop angry mob from lynching some piece of particulary nasty
and heel bushwacker.

And I realized immediately, that I will have a hard time convicting my
players that lynching is not the best solution.

They seem to believe in hard and fast justice (in person, I mean) which is
not that unusual, given recent rise of crime activity here, in Poland
(better, one of my players are actually working lawyer:-)

So, does anyone have any ideas and arguments against lynching? I'd better be
prepared, or whole adventure will take rather unsuspected turn... Bandit in
question is really, really bad (can I say: evil?) person. He is moral wreck,
he is ugly, he has bad teeth, all against him!!!

Yours Sincere
