We all know that people who commit crimes are punished by the law.
The few people who lead decent and honest lives are and should be able to get on with their lives.
But have you ever wished that those people who are perhaps too scared to break the law or too clever to be caught, are punished as well? Have you encountered people in your workplace, school, social circle, even among your relatives, who do or say morally or ethically reprehensible things, but yet are able to get away with nothing, simply because it is not a "crime"?
Rather than just making sure that the elites and economically well off are taken care off, should we have a group of people ensuring that there is justice for all and that people who do or say fucked up things, but fall short of breaking the law or are punished too lightly, are dealt with.
Not suggesting that they be dealt with illegally, but perhaps to do something back to them that will give them a little shock, for example having a cold discussion with them or their family members, using something they have done wrong against them, spilling their dirty secrets, etc. Of course, the possibility that such vigilante action will fall foul of the "real law" is always there, but should that not be the price we are willing to pay for "real justice"?
