| Even though I know this is going to open a whole can of worms, yes, sometimes I think so; if the law fails to put dangerous people away, who's left to make sure the public is protected? | |

| Morally, no, probably not. But hey, we make all of these excuses for the cold-blooded killers. So I say we give the same excuses to vigilantes. | |

| No. Self defense is justified. Having said that, would I want to exact revenge on someone who did something horrible to a loved one. There's no doubt that they did the crime but they get off on a technicality or I thought the jury had their head up their asses and aquitted? The answer is yes, I probably would but the point is I'm not justified. If I do it and get caught I shouldn't expect jury nullification. I should be prepared to go to prison with the belief that it was worth it. | |

| By and large, no…but from time to time, when the system fails so spectacularly, I can understand when the frustrated people decide to become their own law. | |

| I'm with Nhaiyel. For the most part, no, but I can understand why it happens and why people want it. | |
