right. i mean once you get outside 'the west' or whatever there's a lot of this stuff about, people outside the state using violence in a semi-organized way. it's a phenomenon that i don't think you can label good or bad, it really depends on exactly what's going on and the morality can be murky. one of my friends was telling me about how frequently people in the rural areas of Tanzania are murdered, as punishment by the community, or more accurately some self-appointed section of the commuity, for some (real or imagined) crime. that's just one example, from my perspective this kind of thing is everywhere if you take it at a global scale.
i guess you could call that a vigilante thing
