My friend is a good runner, part of a club I guess, and one time they met up and they were all talking about how one of their members had been busted in a paedo-sting like that. He killed himself I think.nonce hunters as a class are not really people you warm to i dont think
specially as a lot of the 'nonces' clearly have special needs eg humpty dumpty nonce and goblin nonce
Isn't that The Punisher?The Vigilante Hunter, meta-vigilante
Maybe it's not The Punisher I'm thinking of, but isn't there a character whose family were killed in a battle between super-heroes and he goes out to get revenge for all such collateral damage by killing superheroes?does the pubisher hunt vigilantes? i thought it was the usual street punks and bikers swinging lengths of chain
yeah right. these are the examples that come to mind for me when you broaden this discussion out to places like that. can think of specific examples eg in kabul where someone was beaten to death on the street in the town center because of a rumour that she had desecrated a koran, totally untrue but the guys on the street kicked her to death. her name was farkhunda. i was in a town called briala slatina or something like that in northern bulgaria and someone beat a roma guy to death in the village square. no idea what the story was there. my town in bangladesh had a mob justice thing going on where they surrounded the police station and killed six policement i think. it totally depends on where you're talking about but in general a legal system seems preferable to me.firends of mine have been impressed on trips to tobago and jamacia by the punishment beatings meted out to theives. not that it was ever established that they were theives. someone shouted thief and everyone in the vicinity beat them half to death.
not that i think anyone here is suggesting the oppositeyeah right. these are the examples that come to mind for me when you broaden this discussion out to places like that. can think of specific examples eg in kabul where someone was beaten to death on the street in the town center because of a rumour that she had desecrated a koran, totally untrue but the guys on the street kicked her to death. her name was farkhunda. i was in a town called briala slatina or something like that in northern bulgaria and someone beat a roma guy to death in the village square. no idea what the story was there. my town in bangladesh had a mob justice thing going on where they surrounded the police station and killed six policement i think. it totally depends on where you're talking about but in general a legal system seems preferable to me.
that's actually kind of cool. seems to be less of a thing these days. maybe its harder to nick cars. i don't see any burnt out joy-ridden cars when i'm out on my bike in the countryside anymore.No it was. It was on the news every night at one point, it's the first thing I think of even now when people say Blackbird Leys, they would have reporters in the estates talking about illegal races with stolen cars... in my head it was like The Fast and Furious films (or rather when they came out I thought "ah they made a film about Blackbird Leys") but I'm sure it was exaggerated.
