I wouldn’t be doing it either. The victims would.

If you are under the belief that in order for there to be “Justice” it must be sanctioned and regulated by the state, that was the purpose of my original post.

We need to change the laws to recognize that Justice will be achieved if a victim engages in violence against their mutilator.

“I wouldn’t be doing it either. The victims would.”

Which would make it vengeance, not justice.

“If you are under the belief that in order for there to be “Justice” it must be sanctioned and regulated by the state, that was the purpose of my original post.”

That is a key part of it, though the state is just as capable of delivering injustice as it is of delivering justice.

“We need to change the laws to recognize that Justice will be achieved if a victim engages in violence against their mutilator.”

Then you would just be making the law unjust, rather than making vengeance into justice. Word games don’t change the underlying nature of things.
