Well, of course she was saying that after she was picked, if it was me, I'd be doing the same thing.

I know they didn't stone her only because she didn't allegedly think it was right, but that might have given them more incentive. Especially in the first few Lotteries, whenever those started: it would be justified to stone someone to death who was protesting what the group decided was right for everyone as a whole.

Any way you slice it, it's justified: if someone were to be standing there peacefully not saying anything, stoning them would still be the thing to do because they're agreeing that the group decision is best, and offering themself up to it.
