Having just seen footage of a friends son battling mopede riding carjackers who tried to rob his car outside his home, im begining to think that taking the law in your own hands is the only way justice is going to be served.

He was stabbed 3 times last night (19.30) defending his car, thankfully hes ok.

The c*nts who did it were caught on dash cam tonight riding not two fucking streets away, where are the police ?

Personally id happily flay the skin from their backs

Sorry for the rant, its a bit close to home

Sorry to hear your friend’s son has been a victim in such an attack.

Vigilantism is not something I condone though.

It’s definitely not time for vigilante response, it’s also not a good time to respond when you’re involved and upset.

But I’m really sorry to hear what happened and I wish the police were better resourced and respected

We have the law for a reason. It's above people and judgement. Otherwise the law becomes a bit like this forum and right is wrong and wrong is right depending upon your perspective.

I'm genuinely sorry for the guy who's been hurt though and I'd probs kick the offenders arses if I had the chance, but I'd be wrong doing so

Im usually mild mannered, but now its two streets away, and a friends son id happily run the shits over.

He had parked up and was trying to get in his house when they struck, he put uo a fight and a good one. Its all over the cov news.

He fought like fuck and was joined by members of the public, its all caught on cctv, they escaped on the bike, but as i said, were seen today again not far fron the crime on dash cam.

When we have convicted child abusers not seeing prison nor being added to the register i'd say this country is well beyond the point where vigilantism is morally justified.

The trouble is, vigilantism is a Pandora's box. Once you open it as a society, it doesn't get closed again.

Luckily we don’t have convicted child abusers not being added to the sex offenders register then; just checking you weren’t suggesting we do?

You’re as bad as them should you take it in your hands to intentionally break the law and go after them to hurt - potentially worse than them as you are intending to hurt whereas they may have unintentionally taken that decision in the heat of the moment of attempting theft, they’re culpable but you had premeditated intent to hurt. How do you feel about anyone on this thread now getting, in your view, the right to now come and flay you?

Well, she may be culpable if someone takes it into their hands to hurt or worse. I can’t comment as I don’t know exactly what her specific request is. Asking for information is one thing but inciting illegal actions is another, if the police condone her, poster, social media post - whatever it is - fine, if they don’t, then more fool her.

The very simple answer is i wouldnt be trying to take someone elses prooerty at knife point.

Dont do the crime, its simple, believe me if these scum were being picked up and dealt with i wouldnt be feeling this anger.

I have a son of my own, 19, if you remember i asked advice on here regarding him going to nottingham on a night out - i was worried about him being stabbed.

I don’t remember no. I’m not saying that these people (I won’t name call) should not be brought to justice, but legally and by those that understand the law and why it’s important to dispense of it fairly rather in a knee jerk emotional response. You want to do something useful to prevent similar issues? Then vote to ensure proper funding is provided by government for the police services, oh and don’t break the law through vigilantism thus stretching our services further.

Technically I did misspeak, technically speaking he was not "convicted" in the sense that he was found guilty of the offense but the court basically decided he shouldn't be punished. But for all intents and purposes the point stands.

In some parts of Africa and South America there are frequent lynchings and necklacings of petty thieves.

I wonder how much of an impact it has on crime rates? Although I suppose it impacts on recidivism.

At a guess I would think it barely touches the petty crime rate and considerably increases wounding and murder rates.

Not sure any degree of nuance justifies letting someone walk after repeatedly interfering with a 6 year old, but that's the last I'll say on the matter as your position on justice is very clear.

Not the right direction but if he or you or anyone else happened to knock them accidentally off their bikes and run over them it wouldn't carry a large sentence if at all looking at recent incidents in court.

Whilst I can totally understand the "emotion" of *wanting* to dish out some rough justice and take the law into your own hands - regardless of what you might think it's still an illegal action in itself, and in fact could serve to not only reduce any sentence that may later be handed down to these oiks, but also land yourself with a sentence too.

I feel desperately sorry for anyone that is the victim of crime, but do think that taking the law into your own hands reduces you to the level of the criminal also.

Without wishing to get overly political, the biggest issue here is the lack of funding available to our police service, that has been continually reduced by all parties over the years, to the point that our police are stretched to the limit and unable to carry out their duties effectively. Add to that cuts to education, and other essential services that may in the past have seen kids not get into a life of crime and it paints a pretty bleak picture - sadly this is partly the price we are paying for the whole "Englishman owning his castle" view of the 80s.

Either way vigilantism is not the answer.

Depends on the crime, if someone wrongs you, do you just let them get away with it? Retribution is probably a better word than vigilantism.

We have "Vigilante's" over here.

They are well organised, police their own areas, deal with drug dealers, sort out petty criminals, sort out sex offenders, run foreigners out of town, sell their own drugs, run protection rackets, tax their people, intimidate in exchange for votes...

Sorry, did I say Vigilante's. I meant terrorists .

And before you say "Ah that is different" Where and how do you think it all started? Just ordinary people "defending themselves".

The law is the law. It is flawed but it is far better than the alternative.

I think the underpinning problem in this country is the ever shrinking respect and attitude towards the effectiveness of law enforcement and the inability of the CPS and court system to dish out justifiable consequences for individuals who decide to rail against the established laws of this country. All too often there are established cases of atrocities being committed and the perpetrators, seemingly, getting away scot-free.

I'm not advocating the usage if vigilantism as, it's been stated, illegal. But I will say that I understand the need to combat these criminal acts in certain cases. I always used to allow my fists to do my talking for the most minor of infractions against me or mine. I have grown past that into a different person.

Could I stand by and allow somebody I cared about suffer through a horrendous crime without becoming that old person I was? I couldnt rightly say. I would like to believe I would give the established system of justice a chance to rectify the crimes against me or mine. If that system was to fail me.....well then my viewpoint would change considerably I believe, dependent on the severity of the crime.

Stopping talking again now lol

Having just looked up the story of that case - the guy concerned was already on a suspended sentence for previous theft related crimes and had been convicted of four other offences since being given that suspended sentence - so I'd say he'd used up his chances well and truly!!

See now that to me is more mindless vandalism, as opposed to crime against an individual. Both wrong in any respect, but dealt with differently unfortunately.

No to vigilante action. We need to elect a government that funds and directs the police force appropriately - unlike the conservatives who have cut £millions from budgetts of police and other local services, such as education, children's and community support services etc. If you vote and invest appropriately, your area will be improved.

Turning citizens in to local revenge mobs is akin to gang warfare and lawless-ness, with people who don't fit in becoming targets for hate. Too many people have been killed or harmed that way.

"When we have convicted child abusers not seeing prison nor being added to the register i'd say this country is well beyond the point where vigilantism is morally justified.

The trouble is, vigilantism is a Pandora's box. Once you open it as a society, it doesn't get closed again.

Luckily we don’t have convicted child abusers not being added to the sex offenders register then; just checking you weren’t suggesting we do?

You might want to look up the case of Christopher Daniel then.

Technically I did misspeak, technically speaking he was not "convicted" in the sense that he was found guilty of the offense but the court basically decided he shouldn't be punished. But for all intents and purposes the point stands.

Afraid I don’t know the nuances of the law in Scotland - looks to be an unusual case re his age etc. Difficult.

But not the norm.

Not sure any degree of nuance justifies letting someone walk after repeatedly interfering with a 6 year old, but that's the last I'll say on the matter as your position on justice is very clear."

Country A invades Country B. As it does so, women are r@ped, children are rounded up and killed. No prisoners are taken. International norms of law and human rights are ignored.

Option 1; write a strongly worded letter to the UN and wait for a reply. The UN say it’s very naughty and Country A must stop immediately. International and European Courts of law also say its bad and if the killing of innocents doesn’t stop immediately then a hefty fine and a reprimand will follow. The killing continues unabated

Option 2. Fight back. If conventional forces aren’t being successful, organise guerilla warfare to repel the attackers.

The law is a complete and utter ass. The Police don’t care. Lawyers get the most guilty people off with a fine and 5 hours making tea for the elderly . Communities know who the guilty are. When justice is not being done or seen to be done, you can either hmm and Harr and mope about the house and wait forever for the white knights charging over the hill with a letter of censure or you can do something about it.

If the victim of the theft just continued inside and closed the door and rang the police, he still would have lost his car but he wouldn’t have been stabbed.

I can’t understand the impulse to risk losing your life for a lump of metal that was no doubt insured.

So no I don’t think vigilantes would help, it just turns out streets into more of a war zone and would end up with more lives lost.

Increase CCTV, have a fingerprint/DNA database, get all people chipped with location detectors, these are things that could help reduce crime.

Wandering the streets with a hammer will not.
