Hello World,
I want to know how you feel about vigilantism. If you are like most of us, you will see it as a slippery slope to anarchy. But how would you feel if your kids and your city were in the grip of drug gangsters and their wars? The book “The eBay Murders” explores this and is ready for publication.

Can Vigilante Murder Ever Be Justified?
We live by the rule of law and are grateful for it. We condemn the idea of a wronged person taking the law into his own hands and yet when it happens, many of us wonder whether we would have reacted in he same manner.
When the case is minor, we may find it easy to agree with the wronged person’s action. When the grocer caught a thief who had stolen plants, he arrested the man. Would we have done the same? Police arrested the grocer, but the courts showed sympathy and the grocer was discharged.
What about the the father who shot his daughter’s boyfriend to save her from a drug-addicted lifestyle? Few of us would do that, and yet the court seems to have been equivocal about the crime and overturned the initial verdict of 2nd degree murder and convicted him of manslaughter.
So we uphold the principle of condemning vigilantism and yet are equivocal when we judge it on a case by case basis.
