Horrific scenes over the last few months have seen fighting on the streets as gangs clash with the vigilantes - with some of the criminals even being butchered, lynched and burned.

I refuse to call them vigilantes.

They are citizens taking back their streets and lives because the police and government refuse to do anything to protect them.

If there were legitimate police activity and a just justice system, then groups of people taking the law into their own hands could be considered vigilante justice. But these people are simply defending themselves.

More spine and justice than New Yorkers (with few exceptions but then they get arreeted.)
