    Good luck finding a jury to convict him of jaywalking.

    Some homicides are self defence.

      For that very reason… He will never see a jury. This will be decided by ONE judge…

        Vigilante justice only feels nice when you agree with the Vigilante. The curse of internet bubbles is that people feel like everyone agrees. Bubbles build extreme values and a lack of understanding of other peoples values.

        You become right. Others become bootlickers.

          A competing viewpoint is that our health insurance system is fine and that denying people coverage and either saddling them with debt or causing their deaths is also fine. Anyone who thinks that way hasn’t had to deal with a claim getting rejected. But with AI reject bots becoming more common over time everyone will. Pain can teach empathy.

          Most people are fine with a little institutionalized corruption but when essential services like healthcare stop functioning they’re going to get very angry. It’s not so much vigilante justice as it is an insurrection against bad governance.
