The legality of vigilantism is fundamentally flawed

What it comes down to is this, given the same circumstances some people (be they a minority) choose not to engage in criminality and rather do well for themselves. Society needs more of those people. The fact that they exist suggest behavior is not shaped solely by environment and in turn suggests there is something fundamentally wrong with people who do commit crime or do poorly.

It's not their fault, but it is their nature. Society does not need those people and it is an injustice to mankind to expend resources on them or allow them to proliferate. It is as much a disservice to them and their heirs as it is to society to allow them and their lineage to endure in a state of perpetual misery simply to placate one's own sense of moral fitness.

i can dig it... but i believe the test results are skewed...

too much of the lens is focused on the least able/willing while the upper caste lives with impunity... while you may be correct in an objective manner... the environment created to breed the nature out of people creates a subjective control...

if any of you can figure out what i just typed i would appreciate knowing what it means... pretty sure it might mean something... might be something about the paint chips i just consumed...

*just to clarify i am not trying to make fun... literally just me tryin to understand
