My feelings on the subject of extrajudicial justice, perhaps as well as can be expressed:

"When normally non-violent men feel compelled to apply extrajudicial justice, it is an excruciating deliberation. They are fully aware that no system will protect them and that one day they will stand naked before their maker and have to justify their actions. No jury will deliberate harder or face the moral questions more squarely than moral men who have chosen an avenue of questionable morality out of necessity." by FReeper MARTIAL MONK

That said, caught in the act, justice should be swift and sure.

In this state, lethal force may be used to intervene on behalf of a third party who faces serious injury (including rape) or death as the result of the actions of another, if they cannot retreat and did not initiate hostilities.

Very nice! Thank you.
