The poet wanted to shed light on how hypocritical and discriminatory can be. The persona and the mob in the poem have power and authority and use it to oppress other people. They think that they have the right to dole out justice for what they think is right. Their acts of justice at the same time are very similar to criminal offenses but they do not look at them in that light. Rather they think of their actions as virtuous.
