    …and your proposed alternative is…?

    I really, really hope I don’t have to explain why vigilante justice is a bad idea.

      Lol nice try but I don’t have to provide you with an alternative for you to attack. You’re wasting youre time there.

      The point is, even all those hundreds of years ago, we had an alternative to just trusting that crime wouldn’t exist, as you suggested was the only alternative.

      Other than its state-ness exaplin the difference between state vigilante justice and the exact equivalent done by any other kind of group.

      I really, really hope I don’t have to explain why it being done by a state doesn’t magically make it better, in of itself.

        “See, the thing is, I already know I’m right, so I’m not going to waste time by giving you arguments to find flaws in.”

        I really, really hope I don’t have to explain why it being done by a state doesn’t magically make it better, in of itself.

        …you mean why a system of justice that is held liable to a court system is not superior to a system of justice where people can just go after whomever they want? yeah, you do have to explain that actually
