    This is how we descend into vigilantism - when the justice system is fundamentally unjust people need to seek their justice elsewhere.

    This isn’t an endorsement of vigilantism either - it’s fucking horrible and can be used against justice just as easily for justice.

      This is the true price we pay for our sham supreme court. It’s a strong indicator to all that justice is not done. It encourages dangerous vigilantism and violence because as you write, where will it come from then? How are the wronged to be made whole?

      This is seriously dangerous territory and I’m quite concerned for where we are headed.

      How’s that saying go again — “The only way to stop a bad vigilante with a gun is with a good vigilante with a gun?”
