Diving Knife

How far can you take vigilantism before you become ostracised yourself?

For instance were you to spy a woman being mugged or raped and dived in with fists flying to save the day, unlikely as that may be, I don’t think anyone, from your prdinary citizen to the police and city authorities, would condemn your action- quite the opposite and, by definition, that would be a vigilante action.

There’s a very big difference between ‘happening’ on a crime being committed and acting as someone’s saviour on the spur of the moment and actively roaming the streets, armed, looking for crimes to ‘prevent’.

Wouldn’t the latter instance make as many crimes as it saves? Far from being a proactive way to solve crime, it will in fact create it. What if you waded in and used your weapon, seriously injuring or killing someone? What if you got the wrong end of the stick? What if your weapon was turned on you? What if whatever criminals were about realised who you were and started on you? There are also quite specific laws on reasonable force of which you may fall foul in the heat of the moment and find yourself arrested, not the criminal.

I think individual acts of heroism or Good Samaritan-ship are wonderful in their place but as to vigilantism, it’s best left to the people who are paid and trained to handle this.
