I used to be against vigilante justice, and while it is dangerous and easy to do wrong, if the law doesn't protect you, you'll have to do it yourself. I'm not encouraging people to seek revenge; far from it. The only justice that can exist is preventative justice. We can't undo harm or force people to repent for past crimes, but we can make things better in the future through actions in the present.
