    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?

    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!

    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.
