Vigilante justice in Tennesee? I don't think so!

Alright this isn't a Second Amendment related story, but it's a story that's really pissing me off so I've decided to comment on it.

This is called vigilante justice, but that's just plain wrong. This isn't vigiliantism, this is more like a lynch mob! The kind of people who don't have the patience for courts and judges and sentencing, that's what these individuals were.

This is not vigilante justice! An example of vigilante justice would be a neighborhood watch organization, patroling the neighborhood because the police budget has been slashed drastically and the number of police officers has been reduced from 25 to 5.

An example of vigilante justice is a bystander intervening with a mugging and possibly saving somebody's life.

An example of vigilante justice is a homeowner apprehending a criminal that's breaking into his home or his neighbor's home, and detaining him until the police get there to actually arrest him.

An example of what ISN'T vigilante justice is two dumbasses deciding to burn down a man's home and killing his wife and child! This is an example of domestic terrorism!

Vigilantes are people that uphold the law and do the right thing, especially when the police aren't around, what vigilante's don't do is burn people's homes down for no good reason at all!
