The law sometimes makes mistakes on criminals so imagine the kind of mistakes a vigilante mob could make.

Not good.

Attackers thought process: "Oh fuck, i better join the mob to avoid detection and a lynching!"

We're not a lynch... we just look and operate like one.

Would be cool if it worked as a deterrent, but i doubt it.

My brother is married to an Irish woman and during the NI troubles he decided to have "fun" and put on his black balaclava when walking into a Belfast pub. His wife nearly shat herself - he was just having fun being from Africa.

Same trip a bottle of whisky fell from the overhead locker in the plane and knocked a passenger out - that also resulted in lots of jokes.

That little misplaced attempt at humour could have gone down very badly indeed; and I don't mean with his Mrs.

What were the resultant jokes?

'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'

He's lucky to have got away with that, bad idea.

"We didn't want our wives, sisters and daughters falling prey to this beast, so we decided to go out there as a visible presence to scare him off and hopefully even catch him."

That's a honorable goal, but they're going about it wrong with face masks and a machete. Just patrol openly in pairs, and offer escort service to women who call-in and ask for it.

What?

edit: You don't really believe these chav's are honourable do you? Do you believe they'd apprehend a possible rapist and take him to the police station? They'd in fact take great delight in smashing his face and body to pieces, because he deserved it, right?

The words 'vigilante' and 'justice' don't belong on the same page

He wasn't saying their tactic was honorable, Her was saying the "goal" was, to protect the women and girls in their neighborhood. Masked packs of vigilantes will probably never give you a good outcome. Neighborhood watch and patrol programs exits in many towns and cities with the full support of local law enforcement, and they are not considered vigilantes.

I can guaranty you however that if some pervert ever abused my daughter they had better hope the law finds them before I do, because I would definitely go vigilante...

I think they're wusses. A whole gaggle of 'em, and only one machete.

That's fair enough - I've some doubts towards the groups goal though. I'm sure there are some with honourable intentions (despite the balaclavas), as I'm equally sure there are some with the simple intention of doing over someone else. Would a rapist deserve being done over? Indeed. Do I want gangs of dickheads going out looking for them with the intention of doing them over? No. And any vigilante gang of teenagers in tracksuits, wearing balaclavas, carrying machete's, whilst posing to the press are dickheads in my book.

Sounds good to me.

I guess I just don't understand people's problem with Greek desserts.


Gad, people. The English invented English. You'd think they could manage to speak it.

I think you'll find you're referring to baklava:

I see. So apparently Brit food is so horrid you see no harm in wearing it on your heads. No wonder you lost your empire.

Anyhow, I'd rather have a truckload of ski masks than a lorry lot of balacavas any day of the week.

If you eat baklava while wearing your balaclava, wouldn't you get crumbs all over it?

Which is tastier: baklava or baklawa?
