WHy do we even allow Known Gang Bangers? Shouldn’t we go back to the old days with Wanted Posters, Dead or Alive, Reward???
Modern judicial and legislative policy (I mean post World War One) has been to disincentivize "self help."
We are told, "This is not the Wild West. Civilized people don't take the law into their own hands. They call the police and let them handle it."
This has been a recurring theme in post WW1 literature and film. The Ox Bow Incident, a 1940 novel about the evils of lynching, was assigned reading in my high school in the 1970s. I also remember a 1960s episode of Bonanza about the evils of lynching. Many film and TV shows tackled the subject.
