Although my gut instinct is "Good, two more predators out of the way," I can't help but be disturbed at the idea of vigilante justice.

Vigilantes decide for themselves who is good and who is bad. I agree that, in this case, the world is better off without these guys. But who will be the next target of vigilantes? Could be that PETA would decide to target anyone eating meat or cheese or wearing real leather shoes.

I agree it could get out of hand, but this guy could nail 10 rapists a day and not hit an "innocent" for years. Our streets are full of scum. If he had not turned himself, his case could have been a low priority for years.
