    your worldview is so black and white.

    yes, lynching can be fine in some niche circumstances, like this one.

    killing can be acceptable depending on the reason. most lynchings are horrible and evil, but this is an obvious exception.

    when keeping slaves was legal, if some slaves rose up to kill their master, would that be acceptable? I say obviously yes, you would say “well what they were doing is legal so this is a lynching and therefore immoral!”

    was the american revolution immoral? They murdered a lot of people! If someone is depriving you of your human rights, such as healthcare, killing is justified.

    so no, lynchings are not universally evil. Killing is not universally evil. There are some universally evil things, but some evil things can be justified. Killing is one of those, there is nuance, and every case must be looked at individually.
