Yeah, that was one of the worst instances of mob “justice” I’ve ever seen. Innocent people were identified and targeted and investigators were forced to release information about the suspects early, which may have been directly responsible for even more bloodshed [1]. A bunch of internet obsessives playing detective from their keyboards is almost always a bad idea. As is everything that Vigilante/Citizen is doing. Having the CEO put out a cash bounty, even if it was for the right person (it wasn’t) is gross. Putting out “patrol cars” on the streets of LA when you have no authority is disgusting. Creating a rent-a-cop as a service model, especially when buoyed by bad data, is quite literally going to get people killed.
