If a vigilante was operating in your local area and in you local news it was reported the vigilante was going around and severly punishing criminals.

Not killing them but physically beating them up, the targets were sex offenders, muggers, the scum of the scum.

The vigilante however is commiting crimes him/herself, example include stalking, loitering, physical assault and grievous body harm, intruding and generally being a predator of these people.

Would you support someone like this? I have really strong views on justice and injustice is one thing that boils my blood. I would gladly support one.

No

The vigilante might get shot.

After I was done laughing I would probably just stop reading the news article. They have something like this in Portland I think or Phoenix. It's pretty funny, and I'd probably get a chuckle of the dumb way the guy might get killed while out there.

This vigilante is hunting criminals who have got away with lenient punishments. Allowed to change their identities and continue with their lives. A threat to society.

If the Government can not properly punish these people and pretty much allow them to get away with it, who will punish them?

Seriously? Never heard of this before.

I would not. I simply don't believe such a person would have sufficient knowledge to determine who is guilty and who isn't. Furthermore, I don't think violence is the solution. They thought it was in the dark ages, and we all know how well that went.

These are people with no remorse. Living monsters in Human form who prey on the innocent for thrills, which would result in the victim's life being ruined in some way, if not then the it's the family who suffer, often the damage is permanent.

He has balls thats for sure. That women with the handbag should of been arrested on site.

Arrested for assaulting some guy in a mask following and harassing her? Where in the civil code is that law found? The guy has more "balls" than sense, and is just wasting his night bothering people. Drunk chicks having a fight outside a club seems pretty low on a vigilantes list of priorities anyway. I'm waiting for him to get gutsy enough to go after the local Yakuza or some street gang. Would be a pretty short blurb on that one.

That would be interesting, seems he is still active.

No one will ever mess with the Yakuza, even cops don't like dealing with them.

Yeah it works well in movies and comics. But real life isn't this black and white. Furthermore, it isn't easy determining who is guilty and who isn't.

As an example, there was a murder in the city I'm from. They found this weird guy who lived in the building where the murder had happened. Because he had the means and probably because he was weird (this obviously makes you a dirty criminal), the police arrested him. His face was all over the news. Everybody was talking about what a creep he was and what he deserved to have done to him.

Turns out he was innocent.

There's just no way I'm just going to trust some random person wearing a cape when professionals can't even get it right sometimes.

You're gonna think I'm crazy for saying this, but he represents the next ( and a pretty crazy, I'll admit ) step in nieghborhood watch programs. Imagine if people actually gave a f*ck about what was going on around them rather than ignoring it?

I'm reminded of my stint in Philly as an art student. Heard my neighbor beating his wife every other night, brawls, blood spattered sidewalks, shootings. I'm not exaggerating. The cops can't be everywhere all the time. An alerted and proactive citizenry is the best solution.

This guy is going out and committing assault over drunk fights. He's a pest, albeit a funny pest. I think that's what he was arrested for assault too. I only care if he does something big and funny enough for me to hear about it on the other side of the country. Other than that he's just some guy with a latex fetish who thought Watchmen was a docudrama.

Who watches the Watchmen?

OK, you're right I do think you're crazy. Philly's nasty, no doubt, but I'm from the "inner city" so I know what that's like. Still guys hanging out in a van with tazers, masks and billy clubs are more of a problem than a solution. They're more trouble than they're worth. Guys like this are the ones that "had good intentions" but wind up killing kids and innocent people by accident.

I honestly think there's an epidemic of boredom going on that makes people consider this as a good idea.

[Blastback]

Heck no, far to likely a vigilantee would wind up getting innocents hurt or killed.

I do, from the back row. I like sitting behind everyone on late showings. They're all too tired to talk or block the screen.

You do bring up a good point. I think a lot of people, and there are a few like this guy, watch superhero movies the way skiny kids watch Rocky. They eventually think to themselves, "HEY! I can do it too!"

Forget about his antics - he's proactive, that is what matters. What's the alternative? Do I even have to list all the instances when crimes occured in broad day light and people did nothing? It's a very real phenomena. Brutallity can occur right in front of crowds and people will just walk away.

If you mean criminals as in parking company thugs and their wheel clamps, then yes, I support the Angle Grinder Man. A real life superhero.

And that's funny too since Watchmen only works as a comic book.

It doesn't take a vigilante to stop that though. You can be a good citizen without beating up people you just think are criminals without a fair trial.
