What i know about self defense is that u can't just say self defense if you are doing something wrong.Like Emmet Till there was no justice for the family or the community.An example of justice is when a murderer gets jailed for committing a crime.Injustice is when a murderer is free to roam in the world after all the crimes he or she has committed. I think that everyone should have justice no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI agree that everyone should have justice
DeleteI don't know to much about vigilante justice. But I think you should let the cops do there job. Its gonna benefit you because you can get in trouble for taking the law in your own hands. Even though in some sitchuations I know taking it into your own hands sounds like the best thing. But it most likely isn't.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because it might seem like a good idea even though its probably not in the long run.
Deletei agree because if murder is illegal why isnt everyone who has been murdered and the murderer was found how come no justice was served. therefore taking matters into your hands is the most logical way to get justice but it wouldnt be thr right thing to do
DeleteI agree because it is unfair for one person to decide if the criminal should be punished or not and how. They could be clouded by anger or sadness to make those kinds of decisions.
DeleteI agree because vigilantes do this outside of the legal system. They will do anything to protect the ones dear to them. But for revenge? I'm not too sure about that. Why do some, I don't mean most, execute criminals. Maybe there is more than revenge that drives these "vigilantes".
ReplyDeleteWhat I know about taking the law into your own hands is that it could be very dangerous.I don't think people should do it. I think the law should take care of it instead of untrained people. Something could happen to them while doing it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Vigilante justice is like taking an eye for an eye, most of the time government doesnt always use their fair treatment. Like when the KKK murdered Emmit Till, no government took justice, and that case was left with no justice commited, so in a way to a level of extent vigilante is a way to be able to take justice into your own name
ReplyDeleteI disagree because not everyone should take justice into their own hands.They should let the police do their job.
Deletei disagree with you christian because sometimes the police dont do there job. the things that are important to you most likely dont mean anything to them
Deletei think ou are right when you say the government don't do there job so some times you have to take it in your own hand but sometimes it can go to far
Deletei think taking the law in your own hands comes to a certain point because some people take it to for and it goes pass self defense .i think vigilante can go to a certain point but if far it goes to far some one can die .some times it can be the cops own trouble because they don't come on time or they don't do something before tin to late
ReplyDeletei agree with you about how people can go too far when trying to handle things on their own.
DeleteI agree that people go to far when taking matters into their own hands and I also agree that the cops don't get there quickly enough to stop the situation before it gets to serious.
DeleteI don't know much about vigilante justice, except for what they told me. I think i was in a situation where i see a crime being committed i would do something about it. But then theres a reason why i wouldn't do anything, you could be risking your life and you could get hurt. It can be very dangerous but if that is their job then they should do whatever they can to protect people.
ReplyDeletei dont know much about vigilante justice. but i think its ok to an extent. if the police cant handle it take matters into your own hands if the problem doesn't include murdering or something more serious. i know some people associate vigilante with self defense but i consider it revenge.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know that much about vigilante justice. I think that if its not to serious, its fine. leave it to the police if you can, though. But if someone is beating the crap out of you and no one is around to help then you can use self-defense. Only to get them off of you, though. I really don't like violence, so i personally would rather call the police or get away with out hurting anyone.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard about vigilante justice until today in class but I believe that it is not a great system. They catch and punish "suspected" criminals without even going through the legal system. So, who even knows if the suspected criminals were even guilty or not. This could also be very unfair to the criminal. They could be getting killed for only stealing a loaf of bread for their family in need. Some may believe that vigilante is a form of self defense but it sounds to me like revenge.
ReplyDeletethats a great point
Deletei agree, because things people are more cruel now than ever. i also disagree on it as well and a lot people have gotten away with murder because o self defense. so it doesn't always have to be because we have the right but don't abuse your right. i believe that it depends on the situation and what position you are in at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI think that vigilante is not good. It's not fair for you to get in trouble for defending yourself. I understand if you like, hurt the person bad enough to be in the hospital, but a fight back? Leave the cops to it if you can't handle it.
ReplyDeleteI completely disagree if they are bad people then take them down. Sometimes you gotta be like arrow or batman.
DeleteI don't know much about Vilgiliante Crime. I don't think you should get in trouble for defending yourself. If you don't defend yourself then what else can you do ? Nothing. People now a days do very cruel and unnecessary things to other people and fighting back is a crime. The police can only help to a certain extent and sometimes they make it worse. If its bad let the police handle it , if you can handle it yourself then do so.
ReplyDeletei don't know what really know much about about vigilant except it is some sort of hero that save people and enforced the law when the police wouldn't and i think think that taking the law in you hand is the same but you break the law
ReplyDeleteI agree because sometimes you don't agree with everything that goes on around you. You may want to stand up for what you believe in. You know you can't trust everyone, and of course you can't trust the government. Especially if there are lots of people who agree with you. Make sure everyone gets what they deserve.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about vigilante crime, but what i do know is that it involve's various degrees of violence. I believe that you should take matters in to your own hands when they're not doing their job or doing enough to help. Its not fair to get in trouble for defending yourself. I don't agree you should take matters in to your own hands period because if everyone did that wouldn't it result in something worse? Everyone would want something different.
ReplyDeleteTheres slang in everything. In different languages.And different generations. Also its influenced by the people you hangout with. And all over the world.
ReplyDeletei don't much about vigilante crimes but taking matters into your own hands is very dangerous i know u want to help and solve crimes because you think the police isn't doing their job but there something u can't do when u go out and solves crimes and not only your putting your self in danger your putting your family in danger to and you don't want your family to get hurt and die because you went out and tried to be superman side kick and end up hurting yourself and family.
