yea lets ruin someone life over an allegation not the First time that happens

as long as they're careful and do their thorough research I think it's king ♥♥♥♥ uwu

I saw a video on CNN in the middle east and they just murdered a woman in the street just a whole group of men just beat her to death in broad daylight and that's how they keep their sense of community strong.

What do you think about vigilante justice?

Highly illegal and amoral. People are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid and mob mentality eliminates every ounce of criticial thinking. This is exactly the way, innocent people get killed in countries like Pakistan, where mere allegations of blashpemy are enough to get one lynched. Nobody is preventing someone from just inventing claimes of child molestation, share an adress online and then watch an innocent person have their life ruined.

This is exactly, why we have an objective justice system.

If law enforcement did its job, there wouldn't be a need for vigilantism. The problem is that not everyone shares a reasonable definition of justice (see fictional characters like Rorschach, Punisher, Spawn). Ideally a fair justice system should be unbiased so if it's dependent on a single person driven by personal motives, it's questionable if it can achieve that

reddit did that when trying to track down a terrorist

It's only legit if you wear a cape.

vigilantism is dangerous and not "good" in any way.

The law isn't perfect but id rather that than mob mentality.

Everyone's a vigilante; the police are just vigilantes with state backing

It's usually a sign that the legal system has failed at some point.

People don't have to take matters into their own hands so long as the police and judges are doing their jobs.

Just let the police deal with it.
They have the technology , the expertise and they can get a lot more information about the situation and spy / gather intelligence on the person and any group if it is there.

Vigilantes are like the rookie security guard thinking hes busting a badman over a drug offence not knowing they just stomped over a multi agency drug swoop type operation. That can happen with all kinds of things.

Watch Point Break. I actually felt bad for the undercover.

On all other type of things when you say Vigilante you mean on a civilian stopping a shoplifting or theft taking place?
This is again a very much a person going against the unknown.
That shoplifter could be violent, they could have backup the vigilante does not know about, it could be a security operation of a person checking the security and any responses on the cameras or store detectives.
So a vigilante could just have just damaged some security work.

Personally if a person is being harmed in the shop or outside on pavement carpark wherever, they are being mugged or attacked or plain beaten up then I would intervene BUT keep in mind if you harm a person no matter how noble you believe it is you could be facing charges yourself.
So this comes back to my mantra of telling people train professionally by professionals.

IF you get harmed or harm another there is risk of psychological issue too afterwards. *1
That kind of thing does not mean a person is soft or weak it is how people are made.
You could get a flashback or something ten years down the road while at the time of the event feel fine and have no issue.
Obviously not always but the brain is a complex being.

I am not saying run for cover screaming just saying be aware of dangers and the long term effects.

*1 even if you 'win' using the term loosely, you still may experience something further down the years.

probably bad cus they have gotten the wrong guy sometimes or beat up a retarded person

also i saw a 17 year old get beat up for meeting with a 16 year old

i guess if you live somewhere cops wont investigate then locals will have to
