You shouldn't be taking the law into your own hands.
In my mind the justice system isn't a place for your sick revenge fantasies; it is for delivering justice and (if we could get our sh*t together) reforming criminals so that it doesn't happen again (assuming they don't get 30+ years in prison.)
In the U.S., the states that deliver the death penalty the most and have harsher sentencing DON'T have the lowest crime rates. Texas, for example, has one of the largest crime rates and gives out the most executions. Killing criminals doesn't stop other people from doing it too.
The fact is, killing people doesn't help anyone, so it is worthless to support vigilantism.
The is no "justice" system in America. There is a corporate, for profit incarceration system. It's built to get people into the system and never let them escape it. It's increadibly effective at making money for certain groups of people, but it does not even attempt to deliver justice any more.
That much is obvious, but how is vigilantism going to help that? It won't.
What we should be doing is trying to reform the prison system and model it after countries that have their sh*t together. Make it harder for corporations to profit off of systems that clearly shouldn't be private.
It's actually getting easier, slavery isn't outlawed for incarcerated people because "hard work" is viewed as a positive way to reform people back into society. A corrupt system like that is going to want to keep as many of its slaves as possible.
Which is why legislation needs to target corporations. Then again, that will probably never happen here because (of course) the American people don't understand the most basic aspects of it's corrupt system.
I don't have much hope that the criminal system will actually reform criminals so they may reenter society.
They hope the "criminals" will get arrested again because they have occupancy quotas to keep up. The entirety of american society and government is garbage. the only hope is to drop out and fly under the radar.
i believe vigilantism is right ... is it normal
