George Will wrote an interesting piece years ago regarding the NYC subway shooting by, I think his name was Bernard Getz, or something like that, who shot two blacks who were threatening him.
Will's piece spelled out the logic that we as a population make a deal with government that if the government protects us and prosecutes and punishes evildoers, we, Society, won't act as vigiliantes. We government shirks its responsibilities, we should reclaim our right to be vigiliants.
