A vigilante is a regular citizen who decides to take legal matters into his uncertified hands and become a lone crusader in the name of justice.
Vigilantism is controversial obviously and is never condoned by the legal system or by the police.
Modern populism fascination with justice-fantasy comic book superheroes such as Batman (a masked vigilante who tackles society's most terrifying criminally insane villains) and Green Arrow (a super-archer who likewise tackles lethal terrorists as a vigilante) are meant to promote praise of the legal system but in effect sometimes encourage youngsters to fantasize about vigilantism.
For some time now, the Hell's Angels have been praised by laymen as desirable vigilante street patrol 'watchmen' who regularly inspect city streets for thug-created violence unsuspected by police officials.
Vigilantism represents a new age social dialogue surrounding jurisprudence loopholes and fire-and-brimstone hysteria.
Vigilantism is, however, now being over-rided by investments in citizen-committee enforced (and police inspected) neighborhood curfew policies.
