He's right:

Main Entry: vig·i·lan·te
Pronunciation: "vi-j&-'lan-tE
Function: noun
Etymology: Spanish, watchman, guard, from vigilante vigilant, from Latin vigilant-, vigilans
: a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily (as when the processes of law appear inadequate); broadly : a self-appointed doer of justice


That definition seems appropriate. They are vigilantes.

Ah, wrong! They are not punishing anyone. The are infact turning them over to the correct law enforcement officials for processing. These people deserve a Citizen Merit Awards!
