Do you like vigilantes? People loved it when the Turks stood outside their shops with baseball bats didn't they. They thought, I wish we had the balls to do that, that's a proper community.

And there's a whole genre of films that = white man has had it up to here
for example Harry Brown starring Michael Caine. Or the Batman franchise.

Yeah, vigilantes are cool. It’s about finding that sweet spot between Paul Kersey shooting someone’s eyeballs out on the NY subway, and a drunken, angry mob terrorising that innocent 'weirdo' down the road who still lives with his mother.

A tale told too much - the paediatrician vigilantes

This piece appeared in Press Gazette magazine two years ago. We republish it here after the issue of a paediatrician wrongly being attacked in the wake of a 2000 News of the World campaign reared its head again at the Leveson Inquiry. As this piece reveals, a fairly minor graffiti incident...

I worked a block away from the building on 14th st where Bernie Goetz lived, used to see him in the neighborhood every once in awhile.

Blackbird Leys is the most dangerous small town in Oxfordshire, and is among the top 10 most dangerous overall out of Oxfordshire's 312 towns, villages, and cities. The overall crime rate in Blackbird Leys in 2021 was 138 crimes per 1,000 people. @shakahislop

It’s actually quite a nice place, compared to rougher bits of London, from what I saw during an afternoon there ten years ago.

i love vigilantes, (except the Taxi Cab loner types) because it's kind of an organic expression of solidarity with one's community and the power to self-organize when the state has lost it's legitimacy. its no coincidence that immigrants and other underserved communities are those that often are forced to form non-sanctioned self-defense groups. people condemn them because they aren't accountable, but if the police weren't so incompetent and undependable they would never have been formed to begin with.

These are my favorite kind of vigilantes:



Living in the bay area myself, its fucking stupid how many potholes there are. it is actually insane. Again, it's only when the state has failed to fulfill one of its basic responsibilities that we see people self-organize and do something.

do you consider these guys vigilantes? they're providing a basic community service, not avenging a crime or protecting a constituency.
