I believe it is a double edged sword. Typically the vigilante groups become a type of gang themselves and start deciding to punish people for what the vigilante group decides is crime. It could be something as simple as spreading butter on the wrong kind of bread. I have to admit though, with the recent dramatic increase in gang violence we are experiencing in America, and our corrupt leftist politicians refusal to do anything about it, I am beginning to change my mind and think maybe some vigilante justice might do our country some good.

As Robspierre found out during the French Revolution - he who wields that sword of justice is just as easily struck by it. There might be some short term good from vigilante exercises but mobs of any kind, no matter how well-intentioned, cannot be controlled so I completely agree with your assessment that "crime" can quickly become a fluid term. I'm not aware of a case where a grass roots justice campaign was undertaken that resulted in a democratic, rule of law result. Once the rule book is thrown away, it is hard to write a new one. So working within the system is our best hope but I do admit that in the face of Soros funding, that is unimaginably difficult. We all know the purpose of the engineered crime spree - the public's demand for a new system. I don't want to play into that.
