Vigilante Justice Should Have Died With The Old West...
...and for a very good reason.
Badger suggested:
...hunt these bottom-feeders down and realign their kneecaps?
No, no, no. Sure, I understand the sentiments. They're the same ones
that allowed folks to stand around while someone was being lynched for
what to the assembled group was a good very reason.
Would you support some working stiff, who used to be employed by Enron
(or Adlephia or Worldcom), if he took a bat and commited some "street
justice" on the corporation's executive staff? Sure, it's a tempting
idea to support such activity, but where does it stop? Someone cuts me
off in traffic and Mr. Baseball Bat and I do a tap dance on the other
driver's car and him (if he'd be foolish enough to exit the vehicle)?
What if the guy being beaten whips out his .38 and pumps a half a
dozen bullets into the attacker's chest? Odds are that he would
receive a judgement of justifiable homicide and then he'd go after the
assets of the estate in a civil proceeding.
Let the courts do their thing. The alternative is unthinkable.
To AG: Full support for Burning Man LLC's taking action and seeking an
injunction. Hope you can get any profits they may have made, drive
them out of business as well as seeking punitive damages from them.
You go, BMLLC!
