reminds me of the case in MO quite awhile ago, where the town bully had been terrorizing the town for years, as well as his family that partook in that activity. one day, he was sitting at about the only redlight in town at lunchtime, and someone walked up to his truck and killed him on the spot. The police and FBI were all over that town, yet for an odd reason there were no witnesses at all-everybody said they hadn't seen or heard anything. Not one of them had been facing in that direction.
To this day not one person in that wonderful little MO town has talked about the events of that day.
wasn't that made into a film a little while ago?
Anywho back on topic....
this makes me feel a little uneasy - don't get me wrong if someone touched my God-daughter in that way the police damn well better find him before me
BUT the idea of vigilantism fills me with dread... it's not long before you get to the whole scenario of "witch trials" where people even suspected are executed (after-all there's no smoke without fire surely?)... this is something we suffer from in the UK as well and we really need to make the sentence fit the crime. Into minors? Life! Murderer? Life! Rapist? Life (oh and all with hard labour no sitting around playing your PS3 or somesuch)
