Say if I were to witness somebody robbed, and I chased down the robber and gave him a dose of justice.
Or perhaps tonight I saw an act of police brutality and I overpowered the officer and left him marked.
Say if I tracked down people who found pleasure in harming others and taught them a lesson, is that wrong?
Or is that what the world needs? More people who are willing to put themselves in harms way and defend those who are innocent, or powerless against those who seek to deny them their pursuit of happiness?
What do you consider right and wrong? Who do you think gets to decide what is wrong, and why?

Remember what common sense tells us, 'no consequences leave no mistakes to be learned from'
therefore we only give reason for evil to continue, if they know they will not see a consequence for their wrongdoings.
Like raising a child, negative actions are reinforced with non-action.

If people keep refusing to confront injustice, 'crime' will continue to escalate. For those of you that condemn vigilantes, put your hand up if you ever get mugged so i know it's you & i will gladly leave you in the sh@t, all you others, 'yell' & i'll help.

I personally think it would be great to have more vigilantes, but the problem with that is, we would never really know if the people deserved what you gave them as punishment...
I am on your side though...
Watch a few Charles Bronson movies and you will understand why it is a great idea, but it seems like it is only good in the movies...

A good old saying is, "Evil triumphs when good men sit and do nothing!"

I don't think that violence is the answer under any circumstance. Remember what Gandhi said, "An eye for an eye makes the world go blind."

Why don't you learn how people today solve problems, unfortunately for you, we are no longer cavemen.

I'm with you, but the "Law" is against us.
