Those who say Kyle’s actions were vigilantism don’t know the difference between that and self-defense. They are distinct. In taking the shots he did, Kyle wasn’t enforcing laws, he was trying to keep from getting murdered.
In keeping with the left’s penchant for doing what they accuse others of doing, those attempting to disarm Kyle, “because he shouldn’t have a gun” were the vigilantes, attempting to enforce gun control laws as they understood them (wrongly).
It’s both. Kyle was only there because the PD was AWOL. Probably because they knew the FIBBERS were filming them from above.
Exactly right. The only actions which fit the definition of vigilantism in this event were those of Rosenbaum, Huber, Jump Kick Man and Grosskreutz, all of whom were taking the law into their own hands and imposing their own street justice for what they mistakenly thought was some kind of wrongdoing by Rittenhouse.
The only “law” Kyle was enforcing was nature’s law of self preservation, and THAT is not being a vigilante.
