Discuss. Do you think it has a place in culture today? Do you think it is necessary or soon will be?

Just for now, lets start out with dedicated vigilantes; people who actually devote their lives to this practice.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Only if you are Batman.

The super hero dudes that actually do it are weird, though. Like, it seriously seems like something is wrong with them.

I thought he was just some fat guy with a camera.

I bet he's outside of the law though.

Without a diet, he'll be for sure.

Are we talking Batman or gangs that kill people based on accusations?

...to an extent.  If they're stopping an armed robbery in the absence of police or protecting their fellow citizens from harm, then that's fine.

But if they decide to go out on a lynching spree on people they believe are guilty, like the threats against Zimmerman (and yes, I hate the bastard but he will eventually fuck up) and go around killing people, then that's where the fine line is drawn.
