Quote:The laws of this country would still find you guilty of a crime;
it doesn't matter whether it's moral or immoral.
True, but this is a separate and distinct issue.
For example, Jack Ruby knew for sure that he 'd be convicted
of killing Oswald, since he did it in front of the sheriff, half the town
and on national TV, but he did it anyway.
Apparently, in his vu, it was the right thing to do.
Quote:
You had options before creating any vigilante group,
and that is to call the cops for "them" to arrest the (multiple murder) criminal and bring him to justice.
Yes.
That is the
EASIEST way to handle it.
As a general rule,
that 's what I 'd do; or possibly just
forget about it,
depending on how I felt about it.
Quote:
Attempted murder or premeditated murder is a crime in the US.
Yes,
but analysing the law is not what this thread is about.
I was asking about what is right or rong,
not what is legal or illegal.
Quote:
Morality is a very subjective criteria that is not only different by culture,
but in history of the same culture.
This kind of "what if" scenarios are not realistic.
Thay can be interesting, tho.
I remember an actor called "Mr. T" saying in an interview
that his mother complained of having been robbed
by someone in their neighborhood.
He said that he and his brothers hunted him down
and "you won 't see him no more."
If I were on a jury before whom he and his brothers
were prosecuted for homicide, under those circumstances,
I 'd find them not guilty.
I think that the reasoning in support of that is worth discussing.
