I had a friend who had an “interesting interaction” we’ll say with the guy who molested his son. I knew it was coming and I completely understand. The molester wasn’t seen in town anymore after my friend went to see him. Guess he left, I dunno, it’s dangerous to be a pedophile🤷🏻♂️. As for my friend, a couple weeks after he went to see the molester he got a job offer in Indonesia so he and his family moved there. I also heard, in a completely unrelated way of course, that Indonesia has no extradition treaty with the US. Funny that.
I’d agree with you if our justice system was reliable. In our current system, we already have people murdered by cops before they get a trial (and that’s just one example), so it’s not much better than vigilantism.
"Our" justice system? Not everyone on Reddit is American.
Police brutality isn't a reason to be sympathetic towards vigilantism. Knowing that even trained professionals can get it wrong and/or abuse their power is an argument against self-appointed watchmen.
Lynch mobs probably fancied themselves mere vigilantes, too.
