Fully agree with you, vigilante justice should not happen because we have a system protecting the citizens and doing them justice. Wait, do we actually have such a workable system? Because if not, vigilante justice is just around the corner.
- heaterwedge 2y agoJust be careful what you wish for :). Vigilante justice doesn't have a great history of being actual justice.

- soco 2y agoI wish those working laws and law system, can I get them pretty please? No? Which party in power does something for it? Instead of trying to scare people with the threat of vigilante, I'd rather appease them with the lure of a healthy system.
- heaterwedge 2y agoThe answer to "X doesn't work" usually isn't "let's do the exact opposite of X because X isn't working". There's just scads of historical evidence to support what a bad idea that usually is.

- cpill 2y agoTell that to Dare Devil, or Spider-Man, or the Punisher. Seems America kinda idolizes vigilantes
- Fricken 2y agoThe justice system doesn't have a great track record of being actual justice either.
- fazeirony 2y agoits the usual 'problem' in this country - all of these reprehensible actions by these corporations are, by and large, legal. being legal doesn't make it right or ethical though. the legislators clearly think the system is fine and workable as evidenced by the legislature passed to allow profits over, quite literally, anything else in this country. whilst i don't condone murder or vigilantism, i fully expect more of this because this is exactly what the 'system' has wrought. when you have nothing to lose, all options are on the table.
- braza 2y ago> the legislators clearly think the system is fine and workable as evidenced by the legislature passed to allow profits over, quite literally, anything else in this country. But don't you think that a more civilized way to solve it is by voting and changing the legislators who think this is right? I mean, the issue is when it goes from a sacrificed lamb CEO from a very disgraceful industry and replicates to the rest of society.
- coldpie 2y agoI've voted every single year of my adult life. It doesn't seem to be working.
- JohnBooty 2y agoBut don't you think that a more civilized way to solve it is by voting and changing the legislators who think this is right? Absolutely, but corporations effectively control the government and who gets campaign funding.
- w4 2y agoThe 2024 presidential election was won by the candidate who spent about 1/3rd less than their opponent, and we’ve seen many successful campaigns in the past decade funded by small donations beat corporate backed candidates. Funding isn’t everything, and it’s a cop out to co-sign vigilantism on such a glib basis: https://www.opensecrets.org/2024-presidential-race https://www.opensecrets.org/2024-presidential-race Rule of law is a precious thing, even if it’s imperfect, as all human systems will inevitably be. We shouldn’t be cavalier about discarding it. The alternatives are much worse.
