Maybe some clarification is needed here. I don't in any way support the concept of people taking things like this into their own hands. Vigilante groups scare the daylights out of me, but I can see how a community, if not a whole society, could be caught up in the heat of the moment. On another level, could civil disruption against a despotic ruler, be considered as being similar to the example that I have given? Civil disruption could also require people who would otherwise be seen as innocent being harmed.
