    Yes, the bastard who assaulted her child deserved death.

    No, you can’t take justice into your own hands, because vigilante justice means the negation of all civilizational achievements and the rule of law.

      The law is fake. Justice is fake. These are ideas pushed on us to maintain the monopoly on violence of the state

      More and more, I become convinced in the law of consequences. I think, morally and pragmatically, that her actions were reasonable and a net benefit to society. I think most people would agree with that on some level

      At some point you have to ask… What’s the value of the law? Why defend it in this case?

      Explicit rules are nice to tell people what they can get away with. On a deeper level, we have to decide what’s right and wrong as a society.

      And that’s a blurry line no one should be getting near

        Thank you. Came here just to say this.

        Life is NOT valued in our society. Justice is not valued in our society. Power (=Money) is.

        It is completely acceptable to kill hundreds of thousands for a legal war, the legal declaration that a pandemic is over that truly isn’t, or via laws that allow corperations to pollute the local environment with many delayed deaths to follow. Legality is shaped by those who hold power. Just look at what’s “legal” in the US right now.

        As a parent, friend to a judge (so I’ve heard the inside scoop) and after some 40+ years in this system, I applaud Vigilantism. #luigi

      To anyone downvoting me:

      You rightly despise the perpetrator and his actions, but if you advocate vigilante justice, you are showing just as little respect for the law and all the rules of human coexistence as he did. You should all be ashamed.

      all civilizational “achievement” happened because of slavery

      humans being extinct from the earth believe it or not is a net benefit for the planet. Human exceptionalists need to be reminded of that. So far, as a species, we fucking suck and do not have achievements worthy of universal praise. Everything good we have right now was because of needless suffering.

      We arent any better than bees on this earth. Name one human being thats more valuable net to this planet than bees, you know? You cant. Every human sucks compared to a bee. Bees rule, humans fucking drool man. We dont achieve, we steal and claim intelligence.

    Stop with the fucking ai voice overs. You can literally hire a real person on fiver to read the text for you in any language, and it will be like 5-10 dollars. Or read it yourself.

    Also stop with the tiktok editing. The story and original footage is interesting enough, but your just trying to jam it down peoples brain holes as fast as you can

      Yeah. I remove all AI voiceover’d videos from my feed and usually prior to, I tell others in the comments to do the same if they are willing to do the minimum to support creatives.

    She gunned him down the day I was born.

    It’s it weird that him admitting to it makes it that much better? Like she didn’t kill someone who may have been innocent, she ended the right person and from the video was very calm about the after math.

    Edit: apparently the video is from a movie

      Gary Plauche is another person who took justice into his own hands over the kidnapping and rape of his son back in the 1980s.

      Plauche learned that the suspect was being flown back to town in police custody, and figured out the flight he was on. He waited at the airport, pretending to be using a pay phone. As the suspect was escorted past him he walked up and shot him in the head at almost point blank range. A local TV station caught it all on camera and I think you can still find it if you search for it.

      Plauche was ultimately convicted of manslaughter but was given a suspended sentence, probation, and community service. No jail time.

          Jesus fucking christ no he didn’t - a big reason we don’t do vigilante executions is the same reason we shouldn’t be doing the government sponsored kind:

          COPS ARE BAD AT THEIR JOB

          At the time there was every chance that Doucet was innocent because the cops had arrested the wrong person - the evidence was not available, and Gary Plauche unilaterally carried out a death sentence on a man on a rumor. In this case it probably worked out, although the investigation into Doucet was stopped after his death and the case was considered closed so we still don’t know for sure: testimony of a traumatized 10 year old and Doucet’s presence in the hotel room are the primary evidence, but there was no further investigation to find out if he was even the only person involved. At the time, Plauche didn’t even know for sure that Doucet was in the hotel room, he had just been given rumors.

          From your post history, you’re a decent person, you’re not some bootlicker, so why are you affording the police enough credibility that you believe their initial investigations are so well conducted that they can unilaterally be used as grounds for summary execution?

      Right? Dude got an easy out compared to the seven year old he destroyed. Euthanasia has a place in civilization.

        And who gets to decide who gets killed ? Who is infallible, incorruptible and flawless enough to decide who gets executed ?

        And if you cannot name them, then tell me: How many innocent people are you willing to murder, per 100 executions. If you cannot name a flawless judge, then innocents will be executed. That is a fact. So tell me: How many innocents are you willing to murder, for heinous criminals to be executed instead of getting life without parole ?
