Galileos tend to work alone or almost alone.

If someone joins a mob against a single person, odds are that their self-identification as Galileo is ... unsound.

Really, very few people are Galileo in modern America for the reason you listed. There are two massive groups of people against each other much more than there are individuals who almost everyone is against. Much more Red vs White army than Galileo against the Church.

Yeah.. you don't normally see mob's carrying out justice very well.
