Ok, but what if your friend Larry rapes and kills the girl and laughs about it openly in a bar because he has local “law enforcement” in his pocket? What if the local judge is a good friend of Larry and has assured him that he is never going to stand trial?

What if Larry starts looking at your little girl next?

That's what I mean by saying it isn't the same here and there. Down there, Larry is all over the place. You don't need to be a thug to put him in the ground.

Ok, I see where we’re failing to connect. You’re both looking at this on a individual level, where you see that these individuals apparently had no other recourse.

I’m looking at it as a sign of societal decay that will only get worse. This vigilantism will not stop with worried fathers protecting their children. The lawlessness will just continue to expand to the point were every armed group will consider themselves a law unto themselves, a tribe.
