      Vigilantism is immoral

      This is a category error. It’s like saying “bananas are immoral.” Obviously that depends on what you’re doing with the bananas.

      “Vigilantism” means breaking the law; since what is legal and what is moral are two completely separate questions, your comment makes no sense.

          There’s no aspect of the definition of vigilantism that has anything to do with morality. You can be as expansive as you like, but

          1. “Violence” isn’t immoral.
          2. “Breaking the law” isn’t immoral.
          3. This is just a category error.

      Why is vigilantism immoral but court systems, including corrupt ones, are not? Aren’t both simply a way to decide justice? What makes vigilantism inherently immoral compared to other justice systems?
