Thread Name: BS: Modern day vigilantes
Subject: RE: BS: Modern day vigilantes
Azizi .... I more than agree with your points.

In the incident mentioned in the subject of this thread the islanders did take their complaint to the police, they did take it to the local politicians, and to the provincial politicans .... to their dismay and frustration no action was taken. Grand Manaan is an island that up until that time was far removed from the focus of the Provincial government. Out of desperation they did what they had to do .... no one was harmed, they finally got the much needed attention of the Provincial government in way of social community organizing, better response from the police, and they got the drug dealers off the island. The vigilantes never tried evading the actions of what they did, and subsequently accepted the charges against them and served their time ... and no drug dealer was ever prosecuted.
