Personally, I believe that vigilantism is wrong, espeically when the target is actually either innocent or not convicted of any crime. It can turn the guilty into martyrs and the innocent into yet another victim of violence caused by mass hysteria.
As for vigiliantes themselves, I believe that some are good and have good intentions (trying to keep danger/hate out of a community etc), but most are either naive or doing it because they love violence and take every chance they get to commit it, especially if it can make them look as if they have some sort of moral high ground. |
