I wish we had a vigilante force here in Ga. Oh how I would love to see Charles Bronson on the street.
When I think of how much money and time is spent trying to prevent being a victim of crime- alarm systems, locks, dogs, weapons and just fear in general, it seems that the criminals have gotten bolder. Why aren’t they the ones who are scared of law abiding citizens?
> I wish we had a vigilante force here in Ga.
In 2002 when the Tri-State Crematory fiasco in northwest Georgia was going on and Ray Brent Marsh was arrested, my family had the remains of at least a half dozen of our family members desecrated. My uncle’s remains turned out to be just Portland cement. My cousin Nan, organized several hundred locals into a lynch mob and they marched on the jail. Unfortunately the authorities stopped them at the jailhouse and dispersed them back to their homes.
I have only seen the first Death Wish movie, but if I remember it correctly he was not a vigilante.
Simply a guy who intentionally put himself into dangerous situations and then exercised his perfectly legal right to use lethal force in self-defense.
A vigilante group tracks down and punishes those it believes deserve it. That's very different from just defending yourself.
Since the movie took place in NYC, the guy in the movie would have been guilty of firearms violations, but not murder, as such.
