Would You Be A Vigilante?

JupiterKid

I'm watching the film The Brave One starring Jodie Foster as a New York radio presenter who, along with her boyfriend, is brutally attacked leading to his death. She survives the ordeal and becomes a vigilante.

Would you take the law into your own hands if the conventional system failed you?

Would you be a vigilante?

No

You must have a death wish.

If I knew the system didnt give me justice and I was 100% sure I would take it into my own hands, only for major things though.

Only if I could be a cool Cajun sh1t-kicker like Jean-Claude Van Damme in Hard Target.

It would depend a lot on the costumes available.

Well, when the scales of justice are so imbalanced in favour of the criminals someone has to be the .......'Equaliser'......

Yes and yes

If I was like Denzel in his new film. Then yes. But unfortunately I'm not a big strong black man. I'm a lanky skinny white man and I'd probably get the **** kicked into me every time I tried to dole out Vigilante justice. So no.

I have taken the law into my own hands, more than once. There's a certain amount of satisfaction in it to be honest. The conventional system fails ordinary people in Ireland every day of the week.

My vigilante costume would be a 50's rock n' roll jacket and a Daniel O'Donnell hyper-realistic mask.

The scummers would truly know fear, then.

With all the people in favour of bringing back the death penalty I'm surprised they don't take the law into their own hands.

Yes without a doubt!

Tigger

do you mean if someone hurt my family would i get them
then yes
i've worked in security and i'd have an idea how to, so if someone hurt mine i'd hurt them.

Ireland is a very safe place tho and the west (where i live) is really safe

Those types spend a lot of time and effort avoiding the public. They're afraid of people in general so would probably be scared shitless if they ever had to take matters into their own hands. They prefer 'tuff talk' as long as they're not the ones having to be tough.. bless 'em.

I watched a programme recently about Vigilante Ira men in Derry. One ex drug dealer was warned twice too stop dealing and eventually stopped. An Ira man approached him in a pub and told him fair play for turning his life around.The Ira guy said he had 3 meetings about planning the drug dealers murder. other drug dealers have not been so lucky.the Ira man said normal policing is not possible in parts of the north. the police cant walk the street in certain areas to this day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq2-vVcsuxs

Absolutely people should be encouraged to take the law into their own hands.

The gardas are completely useless. Its about time people started fighting back.

I'd be a vigilante hunter, roaming the streets, seeking out vigilantes to destroy.

I guess it depends on your meaning of vigilante.
Where I grew up, when I was an older teen, there was some trouble with 15/16 year olds from a neighbouring estate at night. They'd break things in people's gardens and generally cause hassle.

The straw that broke the camel's back was them writing vulgar things about what they'd do to one specific teenage girl, on the wall of her garden. Said teen was special needs.

Her father asked the guardai what may happen if himself and a few other fathers were to encounter these lads and maybe "talk" sense into them. The guards said it was none of their business.

Said group of 4 fathers met said group of teens, did no visual physical damage, but got their point across, had no repercussions with the law or irate patents, and had no further issues.

Could I criminalise those men? Never.

I think most people would like to think they would act like the protagonist in the OP's post, bit most people wouldn't act like this at all. They would abide by the law and hope that justice would serve.

If only the justice system could have a unofficial vigilante team in place to weed out the f**ks that seem to always evade the courts.

Where is Larry hiding out these days?

JupiterKid

I don't think I'd be a vigilante myself but in cases where people have been wronged and the system fails them I can understand why they would feel that they have to resort to taking the law into their own hands.

The problem is that in Ireland if you went out and you shot somebody like larry murphy you would end up in court.

Thats why the likes of larry murphy laugh at our "Justice" system.

if they are willing to sacrifice their children for relatives taking revenge then fire ahead, in the real world people won't be taking the law into their own hands unless as stated earlier, they have a death wish

I borrowed a big garden fork recently and was walking down the street with it. Some teens saw me and asked what I was doing so I said I was looking for an angry mob to join It was either that or tell them to fcuk off and mind their own business.

dimcoin

It depends how pissed off I am. Also, am I stateside with access to my rifle? It is safer to be a marksman than to try to fight a man with thugs at close range.

That just shows you how politically correct Ireland is. The sex beasts have more rights than normal people.

Wouldn't be one as I have no need for it, but I can understand how people living in communities that are beset by fear and intimidation due to a handful of scum, resort to it at the end of their tether.

But the question asked is: would you be a vigilante.

The government should hire somebody like Charles Bronson to wipe out the scumbags. We dont need the gardas we need vigilantes.

Yeh but look where he ended up:

The last time I tried to do something in the name of vigilantism I got arrested. It wasn't a pleasant experience, so no, I don't plan on being a vigilante again.

You have to tell now, or else you're also a tease, which is worse than a scumbag but not as bad as a vigilante..
