Fails to take into account that the public institutions will vigorously prosecute vigilante justice, while turning a blind eye to mob violence, looters, aggressive vagrancy, etc.
Just go to San Francisco to see what I mean!
Regards,
People are leaving San Fran in droves and they are taking their contribution to city revenues with them.
BTW, there isn't a seamless filling of voids in nature and reality. Things don't happen immediately. Give them time.
Funny though that you mention San Francisco. Take a gander this (in the 1850's)...San Francisco Vigilantes.
In 1856, San Francisco was entirely under the control of its famous Vigilance Committee, a determined band of citizens that held the city under firm rule. When the Vigilance Committee was formed, the conditions of the city’s outgrowth had caused widespread municipal corruption by a gang of organized political plunderers. Operating in their own individual best interests, the city government held control of San Francisco at the expense of the honest and respectable citizens of the city.For years, some of the worst elements of San Francisco had held control of the political machine, stuffing ballot boxes, bribing voters, intimidating those that couldn’t be paid off, and electing their own judges. Going to any and every extreme to hold their offices, the politicians were raping the city, taking home bucket loads of money, and enjoying their power.
However, on May 14, 1856, James King, the editor of the Bulletin newspaper, who had persistently exposed the misdeeds of the political powers, was murdered by a low-life politician and known ballot-box stuffer named James Casey. Trusting that the political machine would take care of him, Casey surrendered partly for protection from King’s friends.
Word of King’s murder spread quickly, and determined citizens were ready to end the political corruption at any cost. Soon, a citizens delegate approached William T. Coleman, who had belonged to the Vigilance Committee of 1851, asking him to form another vigilante group to take measures against the politicians. At first, Coleman was reluctant but was soon convinced there was no alternative. A call for arms was soon made signed by the “Committee of Thirteen,” the same title under which the Vigilance Committee of 1851 was disbanded.
