from my oxford dictionary of current English
vigilante n. member of a self appointed group maintaining order.

I think that is who they are. We seem to have assigned a negative connotation to the word.
also
vigil n. keeping awake during the night, etc. esp. to keep watch or pray.
i support the vigilantes keeping the vigil for our country. viva la vigilantes.
debt n. 1. money etc. owed

Quit using that damn "Oxford" dictionary. Did you know Daniel Webster was born in Franklin/Salibury, New Hampshire ("Live Free or Die")
