This idea sparked on another thread where 50 hoodlums cleaned house in a terrorised trainstation.
Alot of people seem to be against vigilante justice, and i cant help but question Why?
There seems to be so much hypocracy on this subject.
Whats the first thought you get when you read some big ass criminal got shot somewhere? "Boy i hope the cops did it" or "I dont care who did it, good riddance"?
Are you against or for vigilante justice and why?
edit: Edited a bit because people cant get past the superhero shit.

Because I don't trust an angry mob to act rationally.

Depends on the situation, frankly. The biggest issue is validity of the response (ie, going after the wrong guy)

No one can say for sure. Most often vigilante justice is bad, but there are some situations where the law is too corrupt to do what has to be done and the people have to turn elsewhere for their safety.
Take a look at Mexico. The law won't touch the drug cartels, so the people organized mobs to get rid of them.

What about the other people? I would not want to be at the mercy of an angry mob because the angry mob might be in the wrong. Originally Posted by bigfootbigd

That always happen when you have extremist rage mixed into the justice keeping they will by default go after the guys they "know" are the bad guys such as people of color etc etc. It is just racist heaven for them since they get to take out the anger they have towards teh groups of people they "know" are the problems Originally Posted by melodramocracy
We saw a display of this mentality in Stockholm just a few hours ago how the mentality of these extremists are all about making sure the racism they love become the law of the land

We have a justice system for a reason. If you want to take the law into your own hands, you obviously don't value Western ideals.

Justice system failed. State did nothing. Crime keep on getting worse and even police said they can't do shit about it. So yeah i support people taking law in their own hands when police admit they can't do anything.
If state fails to keep you safe when walking the streets someone or something needs to do it. And seeing as you can't arm yourself i guess the second best is organised groups.

Sure, when the police can't protect the people they have to protect themselves.

It depends on if justice is served decently enough without requiring vigilantism. In other words, if the system works, then no. If it doesn't, then yes.

2016-01-30, 06:05 PM #16DeletedI do not support less than 2% of crimes getting solved. 8 months detention for manslaughter and rapists getting free after 2 years, no. I dont support Google getting 30 million dollar fines when they screw taxes over by billions. etc. Originally Posted by Shadowmelded

The two words are incompatible, so there can't be such a thing.
Therefore - you can't support it or be against it.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
