MERGED: Vigilantism and related issues

[sinsiyo]

it's only then that i've realized killing criminals and hurting innocent bystanders is what they call "doing a little evil for the greater good".. what a hopeless kind of presumption..

i rather go for doing a little evil for the greater good than doing greater evil w/o any good at all.

the criminals are advised no to go back to their evil ways but when will they stop doing that? until they harm hundreds of people? i suggest to take out the bad ones before they can harm the majority in the society. im PROLife and i think all of us is prolife also but in this case it wont apply. we need a strong hand to stop these criminals.

You are Pro-life? If you are indeed pro-life then you would not allow these criminals to kill criminals and let them shoot innocent bystanders. Please don't give us the logic of "doing a little evil for the greater good." Where is the sense in that? It's still evil, walang labis... walang kulang...

i go for that! :mrgreen:

things happen for a reason... it's a vicious cycle...the Vigilantes will not stop unless they are convinced in such a way that occurrences such as these can be tolerated... though, these things could not be totally exterminated but at least minimized...

what they do is a NECESSARY EVIL... these people do not just kill for pleasure... THERE IS A CAUSE... there might have been innocent liabilities but they never mean to do that... they are doing this for the majority! so that people could at least have the confidence that Cebu is a safer place than before wherein they could just walk in the streets with the least probability of getting mugged or ice-picked over a petty cellphone...

think of the MAJORITY of people who has been spared because these crooks were prevented from doing their heinous deeds. think of the MAJORITY who have benifited from the VIGILANTES.. Think!

@karaga007

you wont allow those criminals to be killed then give me your idea on how can we stop these criminals? so that i can change my perpective about the killings of those criminals. the government has been doing a lot of programs for these criminals and then they are still there. the programs for these criminals are already there way long time ago but still criminals are continuing to do what they love best. so how can you stop this from happening? being a true "PROLife"....

Don't ask me for a specific solution coz if the government can't even come up with one, then so am I. And that doesn't mean because the government can't provide any solutions, Vigilantism is the last option.

Oh well, killing guilty criminals is an immature approach of accepting that life isn't perfect anyways.

since the goverment still has no effective way of stopping this issue,then it is better to shut these criminals down than to sacrifice the security of majority of the population for waiting the governments solution...

Shut these criminals down and let civilians do it for authorities? Goodness grief!

[sinsiyo]

yes why not...wait fo the authorities to act on it? they themselves are the crook then why should we wait for them...i suggest that those crooks should also be a target...you know what do we need? we need a firm a hand to clean all mess that we are experiencing now...

Yes, and until all criminals are eliminated we won't stop them from killing those crooks, eventhough we're blinded by the fact that there's not a huge decrease of crime rate in Cebu City.

Or is there really? hmmmmm.....

[sinsiyo]

do you want your place be infested those "blood thirsty and nothing to do but harm people" criminals?then the authorities just ignore them without even acting on the problem. will allow them to take over your place? tell me what you want to do with that situation? would you just stand there and do nothing even if you see all the crime happening in front of you? do you care about the lives that have sacrificed just for a cheap cellphone? and its happening everywhere not only here in cebu...now if you compare the statistics to the number of peple harmed by these criminals to the criminals killed by the vigilantes...then you will see there is a great difference between the two...
