If they try forming any lynch mobs then they'll be the ones who get lynched, courtesy of the Grimm, how could they miss all that concentrated hatred?

As for the heroes wondering if mankind is worth saving, that'll probably happen late in the story, as foreshadowed in "Time To Say Goodbye."

"Were we born to fight and die

Sacrificed for one huge life

Are we heroes keeping peace

Or are we weapons

Pointed at the enemy

So someone else

Can claim a victory?"

And I don't doubt they'll face some sort of persecution, simply by being students of Beacon, I can imagine anyone or anything associated with Ozpin will be heavily scrutinized at this point. And they may very well have to deal with vindictive people during the course of the story, which definitely won't improve their opinion of minkind. How they deal with all this, we'll just have to wait and see.
