    Lol nice try but I don’t have to provide you with an alternative for you to attack. You’re wasting youre time there.

    The point is, even all those hundreds of years ago, we had an alternative to just trusting that crime wouldn’t exist, as you suggested was the only alternative.

    Other than its state-ness exaplin the difference between state vigilante justice and the exact equivalent done by any other kind of group.

    I really, really hope I don’t have to explain why it being done by a state doesn’t magically make it better, in of itself.

      “See, the thing is, I already know I’m right, so I’m not going to waste time by giving you arguments to find flaws in.”

      …you mean why a system of justice that is held liable to a court system is not superior to a system of justice where people can just go after whomever they want? yeah, you do have to explain that actually

        Again, nice try but I’m used to people as slippery as you. What you mean is “you’re right, we don’t just have to sit around and trust that crime doesn’t exist. However, I’m the kind of person who really struggles to back down or walk back even the most wild and silly of things that I imply.”

        you mean why a system of justice that is held liable to a court system is not superior to a system of justice where people can just go after whomever they want? yeah, you do have to explain that actually

        Why would I explain something completely different to what I said to you?
