It does? I hadn’t noticed. Just like capital punishment, mob justice has no impact on crime rates. And the people beating down thieves do not do it because of some sense of civic duty but because there is nothing like venting one’s frustrations without fear of retribution.

Calm down dear, it's only a forum. You will get your knickers in a twist. Have a glass of whine.
And yes, I have been to Cambodia many times and yes, I have also been involved in stopping thieves running out of a shop and I have been in the line of fire many times while in the army (NI and Falklands) and as a civilian contractor in Iraq in 2004. Looking after your colleagues is number one priority.
I would not even hesitate to tackle anyone who was acting under such circumstances. However, you are very welcome to simply stand and watch like many other rubber neckers while people are robbed or murdered.
What a hero.

This current liberal world has produced too many pacifistic by-standers who would rather criminals got away with it rather than confront them.

The indolent locals will surely see their folly in embracing the post-modernist ravings of the feminist and soy boy globalists when you return with your band of vigilantes and set about making the night safe once more.TOG wrote:No, just an ordinary guy who would not stand around when others are in trouble.epidemiks wrote: ↑Wed Oct 10, 2018 10:23 amTOG wrote:@ epidemiks

So do you think that vigilante groups such as the Gulabi Gang, the Red Brigade, the Guardian Angles and the Perv Busters should all be disbanded as they are not official law enforcers?
