| Applying physical force to counter in the moment someone that tries to rob you is not vigilante justice. That would be more like if you had your phone robbed, and a few days later you went with your buddies to beat him up and get your phone back. The former is just maintenance of basic civic standards. |

| > So, because there is a failure of policing in your locale, we should simply resort to vigilante justice? Yes; under those conditions vigilante justice is a reasonable way to 1) protect society from criminals, and 2) encourage the state to correct its failures of policing. |

| It'd be silly to blame the police, this kind of crime can only be addressed at a much higher level. I'm not even too inclined to blame government, as I consider this minor loss of security a perfectly acceptable tradeoff in return for their economically beneficial pro-immigration policies. This is just what living in a big city is like, unless you're in a police state. |
