That's it, jsmithepa. That's why we used to hang horse thieves.

Only problem I see with vigilante justice would the getting slammed by a PO'ed JAM because of some perceived slight, such as slowing him down for a few nanoseconds on his rush to Starbucks.

In India, people are more connected to their communities, so mob 'vigilantism' and shame based justice are more prevalent and accepted than the way we do things here with fines and laywers and cops.
Things to be said about it either way. They have less crime since people know each other. And our justice system can tend to be too impersonal and innefecient...
