The legality of vigilantism is fundamentally flawed

[Angushjalmur]

It is illegal to take the law into one's own hands with the intent of effecting justice based on one's own understanding of right and wrong or the law.

Are laws not set out by the people? Is this to say that the people who have created and endorsed the laws do not understand laws or were unqualified to set forth those laws in the first place?

There are many instances where the current loophole system fails and justice is miscarried. There are many instances when the justice system is muzzled simply because of previous precedent or because of some obscure technicality.

We need the right to take the law into our own hands as a way of balancing the inefficiency and neglect of the established legal system. We need to return to a time when a man could take up his musket and kill those within his community who needed to be killed. Crime rates have increased directly proportionally to the amount of legal sanctions slapped on citizens regarding defending themselves or doing what's right. The nanny state tells us to be helpless and to let the police and courts deal with it, but then fall severely short on their end of the bargain.

That is all.
