Vigilantism Is Often Worse Than the Harm It Purports to Cure

Some people broke the law in order to bring a little justice to others they say are breaking the law. It sounds like good, old-fashioned vigilantism. Is it ever justified? Maybe – when those in charge of enforcing the law have abdicated their responsibility. However, it still always looks pretty  ugly, petty, base, and often worse than the harm it purports to cure.
