Seriously, if we had a squad for lack of a better word that went around and targeted the really bad criminals and just took them out....gang bangers, rapist, child molesters, murders etc. The punishment for others like robbers would be to take all they possesed, for physical abusers like wife beaters...beat them up and so on and so forth...don't you feel this would cut down significantly on crime? Just a thought....

Interesting...hell yeah I'd support it...We treat criminals WAY to good today. You can assault numerous people, murder people, rape children, and still be walking around free on the streets. It would be nice if justice were served on a more regular basis.

I would only support it if there was absolutely no chance of making a mistake. There would have to be some new method of proving absolute guilt.
If this was not possible( and it isn't) then there is always going to be mistakes made and innocent people will pay.
This may be acceptable to most people because they believe that it could not or would not happen to them. I for one would not want to be an innocent accused or convicted of a crime let alone be punished for one.
Unfortunately, people are not perfect and I do not think they ever will be.
I do however feel that if such a squad was operating it would not make that much of an effect on serious crimes such as those you mentioned because most of those crimes are committed by people who do not think about or care about the consequences.

Yes, it would work.... it would drastically cut crime..... that is why it is against the law.
Our present system makes too many mistakes also. DNA testing has revealed just how bad it really is, but at present, it is all we have. Prosecutors who just try to convict someone should be thrown out, their job is to look for guilt and innocence, not just guilt. The same goes for defense lawyers...
We have politicians who think they have to do something to justify their position.... they can't leave things alone.... they use criminals running loose as an excuse to make new laws.... this scenario allows the politicians to feel needed, funny thing is, most of the politicians are criminals themselves.... they aid and abet illegal aliens in various ways.

If it's vigilantism there is no control. But I like the idea.

So what happens the first time they screw up and "take out" the wrong guy?
Our judicial system might be flawed, but you're proposing revenge, not justice.
