Thread Name: BS: Modern day vigilantes
Subject: RE: BS: Modern day vigilantes
A few months before this thread was started, the 'News of th World' was stirring up public anger in the UK, demanding that paedophiles be named and shamed. A group of people, too stupid to know the difference, targetd the home of a paediatrician.

BBC story

One man's vigilante group is another man's lynch mob.

If the authorities won't do what you want them to do, vote them out. Even better, get others to vote you in and then do something about it.
