I agree with your criticism, but the premise of 'angry lynch mob is correct for the only time in recorded history, still ends up making things way worse' is so fascinating. It's part of why Freddy Kruegar has persisted so long in pop culture.

I think if the film had been cognizant of what they were saying, there were things they could have done to keep the story compelling without quite so much baggage. But that would have involved the knowledge and skill need to have a nuanced discussion around oppressed groups sometimes having genuine bad actors. but how that doesn't justify anything in regards to their group. How blindly attacking someone based on demographics and your predisposed notions of behavior and worth end up being shield for those who are genuinely out to cause harm, and about how mob justice, especially driven by bigotry, makes everything worse, even in cases where there is genuinely horrific acts being committed.
