You seem very confused.
Everyone knows that had nothing to do with justice, vigilante or otherwise. Even the rioters and innocent neighbors knew that.
Actually vigilante justice has it's place and probably has kept this country intact, since the police cannot protect you or me.
To prove this, look no further than the LA riots you mentioned, when the police drove away from the sound of the guns, and the Koreans and others, came out in force, with their own firearms and saved their homes and businesses.
This my friend, was vigilante justice, and it worked quite well. The people had no choice but to take the law into their own hands. Off the record, even LAPD completely agrees.

No, that is self defense. And quite a different thing than dalereed was advocating in post #52. What he was suggesting is that we could solve illegal immigration with a few "Chinese massacre" style lynchings. How would that morally differ from what "Football" Williams inflicted with a cinderblock?
