it was within the specific context that we cannot expect victims to follow the law if we do not take the time and energy to enforce it on their behalf.
THIS, I support vigilante killings under certain circumstances, but I don't view it as a solution but rather a symptom of our system's failings which must be fixed.
Did you know that the defence for OJ Simpson argue that the fact that he did beat his wife is like, totally unrelated to whether or not he murdered her?
Then there is the problem of early release due to good behaviour...in prison, John Douglas points out that violence is situational: that an offender who has raped women had behaved well in prison, where he did not have the opportunity to rape women...is not an indicator that he won't do it again if you let him out early for good behaviour!
I felt so bad for Regina, she shouldn't have gone through what she have gone through, the rape itself and the aftermath, and she was in danger when she chose to take down her rapist like that - serial vigilante killings are rare because serial killers tends to pick victims they can overpower, while well, the serial vigilante killer will be preying on those who would be strong enough to kill / rape someone in the first place! It could have turned out very badly for her, she should never have been in such a situation.
The Piano Man was possessive of his victims and likes to taunt, if the police have staked out the victims they might have caught him coming back to check on her. In the case of a rapist who was interrupted, but later came back, and even asked why the victim called the police on him, I can't remember if it was Auckland or the other one, in John Douglas's "Obsession". He likes to taunt his victims and he's not an opportunist, I'm not surprised he went back to finish his 'task'.
