Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': When a lynch mob brutally murders anyone they consider to be their enemy.
* '''Straight''': After famed inventor and businessman Tommy Sharpe had been outed as a [[PaedoHunt pedophile]] from the sexual assault allegations coming from [[SpiderManSendUp Pete]] [[LovableNerd Perkins]], the mob of New York is so incensed that anyone who even tries standing in their way would either be forced to join in or get [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown maimed and battered beyond recognition]].
* '''Exaggerated''': [[BrooklynRage Flash Young]], the [[LargeAndInCharge absolutely gargantuan leader of the mob]] (and one of Pete's best friends), eventually gets his hands on Tommy, and with the help with [[CasanovaWannabe Eddie Roque]] and [[Fiction500 Harry Oswalt]], the trio beat Tommy down before [[DoWithHimAsYouWill handing him over to the mob]]. Whatever's left of Tommy is ''definitely'' NotEnoughToBury.
* '''Downplayed''': Flash, Eddie, and Harry gang up on Tommy, beating him savagely within an inch of his life, before Flash picks up a [[RescueEquipmentAttack fire extinguisher]] and pulverizes Tommy's head to finish the job.
* '''Justified''': The mob doesn't even ''care'' about niceties at this point; They'd usually hang someone on a tree or a lamppost, but what Tommy did was [[MoralEventHorizon so inconceivably heinous]] that they'd rather just tear him apart.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': At first, Tommy looks like he's going to be torn by the mob... But they instead get him onto a platform for a much more dignified PublicExecution...
* '''Double Subverted''': ...Which consists of having the executioners beat and maim Tommy on full display, before tossing him into the crowd to get further torn apart.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Some people insist on maiming Tommy, others insist on giving him at least a dignified death, and others just want him dead regardless of method.
* '''Averted''':
** Tommy isn't killed.
** Tommy is killed in a much cleaner way.
* '''Enforced''': Tommy is an absolute HateSink. This was a great way to kill him off.
* '''Lampshaded''':
** Tommy [[AintTooProudToBeg begs and pleads]], "Oh god, please, no! I'd rather be hanged than torn apart! No, [[BigNo NOOO!!!]]"
** Flash snarls, "Look at'cha, ya sick '''FUCK'''. Beggin', an' pleadin' for yer life t'be spared; How fuckin' depressin'! I oughta' hand over ya t'these here mobs... ALRIGHT FELLAS, TEAR 'IM APART!!!"
* '''Invoked''': Flash hands Tommy over to the mob, and states "DoWithHimAsYouWill".
* '''Exploited''': Tommy's death is used to inspire fear into those who anger the mob.
* '''Defied''': Several {{SWAT Team}}s ensure that the mob wouldn't even get ''close'' to Tommy.
* '''Discussed''': Flash, Harry, and Eddie are discussing on how to get rid of Tommy. They all settle on this trope.
* '''Conversed''': Audience members have varying reactions to Tommy's brutal death; Some are utterly disgusted at how vicious the crowd is, considering the scene NauseaFuel, while others revel in the CatharsisFactor from seeing such a piece of shit getting his just deserts.
