Of course I would. Otherwise it would be like not grassing up the rapist - crime is crime. There is no excuse for vigilantism now that we are supposed to be so civilised that we have turned over justice to a (mostly) just and professional police and courts service.

What if this rapist is freed in a couple of years having been found not guilty after all.

If I knew who had shot the rapist then yes I would grass them up.

If not, where does it all end?

Vigilante justice is abhorrent
I like to think of myself as a kind, just and compassionate man but i am struggling to find anything abhorrent, let alone unjust about the knee capping.

I am not generally a supporter of vigilante justice. However the man ruined the life of a young girl and her family.

If I knew who the perpetrators were I would struggle not to give them a thumbs up.

Where would you draw the line between kneecappable-in-front-of-your-family offences and lesser crimes?

If only we had some sort of system to give out justice, things would be easier

this is just like the person accused of looking at dodgy pictures who got stabbed

there's no excuse for half-wit knuckledraggers meting out their own form of twisted "justice"
