Vigilante Justice
Submitted by jruss133 on Tue, 10/27/2009 - 14:46
I have a simple question. My thinking is as follows: because centralization(monopoly) is counter-productive, we should decentralize all the way down to the sovereign individual. So my question is... Is vigilantism the most efficient means of justice? » |

Efficient
More Efficient in dealing out penalty for sure.
But Justice? I don't know. I think in *Most* cases it hinders Justice, and in *Some* cases it's the only way to Get Justice.
Negative averment
under admiralty jurisdiction....there is no justice in equity, but you can get powerful recourse in admiralty.
Useless
If I understand the context correctly, Vigilantism will do nothing but exacerbate the situation:
It'll attract and possibly inspire some of the more unsavory groups to do stupid crap, thereby making the liberty-minded play right into the hands of the propaganda launched against them. It won't just be restricted to 'freedom-fighting.' Others will jump onto the bandwagon with the excuse of "everyone else is doing it, why not us too?"
Example: say (hypothetically) a liberty group lynches a politician for a transgression. Next week, PETA lynches a governor for not banning the sale of fur coats because the previous guy got great headlines to make a statement. So on and so forth.
It's likely going to simply land you in the pokey if you get caught, accomplishing nothing and you'll be written off as another small article in the back of the newspaper. Vigilante justice may be a nice romantic thought to many people, but in reality it's kind of silly. Best way to win a fight is to not be there when it starts.
Don't go looking for trouble, because you may just find it, and you'll quickly discover that in some cases, trouble is much bigger than you.
No
Because all the good patriots would end up in the hoosegow; then what use would they be?
