    That is the definition. Consult a dictionary.

    I don't think a dictionary definition distinguishes between vigilantism over perceived injustices where the injustices are already coded into law and perceived injustices that aren't coded into law.

    In fact vigilantism by default will be more common towards perceived injustices that have no legal framework for justice.

    I really don't think murdering someone because you think they aren't just qualifies as being a vigilante, but anyway this semantic argument isn't all that important.

    Do I think it's OK to murder CEOs because that make exploitive (but legal) choices that hurt consumers? No, I don't. There is no possible legal defense for it. This guy needs to be prosecuted as a murderer, because that is what he is.

    Do I think shooting and killing an armed intruder who is trying to rob you rises to the level of murder? Of course not. It is a legally defensible action.

    does a citizen's arrest count as vigilante justice? need a ruling

    ‘Chicago Fire’ actor Brian J. White, neighbors sprung into action to take down illegal immigrant with ‘flamethrower’ near LA fires

    https://nypost.com/2025/01/15/us-ne...al-immigrant-with-flamethrower-near-la-fires/

    excerpt:

    A former “Chicago Fire” actor and his neighbors jumped into action and detained a “flamethrower”-wielding Mexican national near the Kenneth Fire threatening the area during a dramatic citizen’s arrest last week.

    Brian J. White — who portrayed Captain Dallas Patterson on the hit NBC show — was gearing up to flee his Woodland Hills home if the fire jumped from the neighboring West Hills neighborhood on Thursday when he heard shouting from outside.

    “I hear screaming, ‘Put it down, put it down,’” White told Deadline of one of his neighbors confronting 33-year-old Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva.

    The actor believed there was a gunman outside, as his daughter hid in a closet and he raced outside to help his fellow good Samaritans.

    The eagled-eye neighbor had watched the bike-riding Sierra-Leyva with a blowtorch attempt to light a fire to White’s trash can, which contained leaves and sticks.

    Sierra-Leyva, who was in the country illegally, had been chased off the street 20 minutes earlier after the unidentified neighbor watched him try and light an old Christmas tree on fire.

    The 49-year-old actor joined his two other neighbors and backed Sierra-Leyva onto the front yard of one of the nearby houses where they detained the firebug and his blowtorch.

    Footage captured White seemingly attempting to calm down Sierra-Leyva who was being restrained by two men during the confrontation.
