I’ve been following this thread from the start. I honestly still don’t know how I feel about this. I’ve been on the victim's side where the cops won’t/can’t do anything. I’ve been helpless (or at least felt it) and worked past it to the rage that follows. I had dreams about really making him “pay”. But when I finally did find it in myself to fight, I stopped when I could get away. My rationality came back and we ran. We had enough for an arrest and a restraining order. I’ve never regretted my actions. I think I would have regretted beating him to a pulp or worse.
Applied to this situation, are these people really vindicated by their actions? I’m not certain. Or are they just becoming the new Billy Bad A$$? Shooting and stabbing another human being who is actually down? Are we really good with this?
Part of me wanted to yell “yeah get’em” but something in me is saying no good will come of this.
