Would you become a Vigilante?

canonball5

I had a conversation today with my boss about how many horrific stories that have been in the papers lately.

That guy who fed the kitten to his snake
Baby Killers
Rapists

My question is if justice was not done, would you take justice into your own hands??

Of course I understand that is what the law is there for etc, it's purely a hypothetical question.

chin_grin

I would. And I'd name myself. Vigil-uncle. <thunder>

Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn

Some men.

I'd love to be part of a vigilante group. There's some serious fùcking scum existing in my small town/village that could do with taking down a peg or two.:cool::mad:

My name is URL

I'd like to say that I'd do a Taken act on anyone that wronged me, but realistically that fantasy would only be played out in my head while I cower under the bed.

Instant lack of points for needing a group. If you can't get out there and break some faces on your own then you don't deserve the right to put your underpants on over your tights.

Is...is this a superhero recruitment topic? Cause if it is, I've already got my costume and all so sign me up

Why don't you take out one or two of them on your own first?:rolleyes: Then the vigilantes will know whether or not you have what their vigilante group needs.:):)

Frank Black

Some of the court cases you read about, where the judge lets someone off with a suspended sentence who's killed or maimed someone.

If it was someone close to me that they'd killed or maimed, I'd be pretty tempted to do something about it.

And I like the idea of wearing a uniform while doing it.

I have carried out my own retribution when the law has failed to stop people taking liberties with people I care for.

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. It's all some scum understand.

There was a type of Vigilantism in Bluebell the other night, You mean that op. IMO it never works been tried for years before,It gives people with ego,s bigger ego,s and before you know it its the vigilantes who are the problems not the criminals/thugs.

Violence is wrong but i would agree to someone getting a few slaps if they were out of order with my immediate family.

As above i would agree but not a serious beating, then depends on what they did i suppose.

Not vigalante, but I started a reasonable debate in the Christianity forum this evening over something that is bothering me and it promptly got closed.:(:D

Won't be back.

steddyeddy

Yes definatly. Vigilantism should have been used against priests who literally got away with child abuse.

most super duper underpants wearers hero's have a sidekick. sorry i thought we were actually talking real life actually going out sorting our streets rather than pretending to be super heros:rolleyes:

WORST THREAD EVER!

BunShopVoyeur

Lets do this!!

Immaculate Pasta

I don't think I'd become a vigilante for a community. I'm just not selfless enough.

However, if anyone ever screwed with my family and justice wasn't served. I would have no hesitation in "going rogue" and dishing out the justice myself. I'm confident I could get away with it as well. I have it all figured out :cool:

csi vegas

Oh I SO would.

Recommend Kevin Bacon's Death Sentence to anyone interested in such justice.

It's AH, so the thread exists in a kind of odd state between serious and funny at all times.

You mean you'd like to cower behind a group and watch them beat up people you don't like.

44leto

Yeah knee capping for all jaywalkers, that would make them wait for the light.

billybudd

one should always be vigilant.

Acid_Violet

After seeing the last two Harry Potter movies I finally figured out what I wanted to be now that I had grown up: Hermione.

Running around the place fighting unequivocal evil and the catharsis that accompanies it, all the adrenaline rush, getting yourself out of trouble with your brains, constantly exciting kind of......job.

Sadly that job doesn't exist. The next closest thing to it is being a vigilante in the muggle world- a lot less glamorous though, and rather than just nicely stupefying them sometimes you have to pull a trigger. But if I could convince myself that I was 100% fighting unequivocal evil (impossible really, human fallibility and all that) then yeah I would definitely go kick the **** out of evil scumbags.

On a slightly less pretentious note, if anyone even looked sideways at a friend or family member of mine, particularly one of my nieces or nephews, I'd split them in two.

Nidge_Weasel

yep, for the only justice, is the justice you take

JUSTICE

zenno

vigilantes in a group never works and cannot work as too many people in this group will know you. You always do it single by yourself, as they say if you want something done do it yourself then no one knows what the hell happened. working in groups is a liability.

Wouldnt that be just like having another gang though, after you conquer all the scum then what, maybe then you will start thinking like Heisenberg. " Eh maybe we can corner the crystal meth market too".

Yeah sidekicks are a real pain in the ass.

Would I be a vigilante?

Yeah, but not as a job. I would take the law into my own hands if I really had to.

paddy kerins

I've a feeling I'd be very Rorschach-like if was to become one

The Scientician

If someone murdered my mother, any of my siblings or their children, or my girlfriend, I'd had to be seriously dissuaded from taking action to murder the murderer and/or those belonging to him/her.

Revenge was swift after my Dad's place was burgled, Sometimes you just have to strike back..

Nobody was hurt by the way..But the mystery surrounding my revenge drove the knackers mad..
