Attitudes in India
can anyone attest to this sentiment? Sure would be nice to have in some other places, too!

Too bad that kind of stuff isn't legal here. There would be no more stealing!

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.

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...
