    Because as bad as most legal systems are (e.g. the United States, which has the best legal system that money can buy), vigilante justice is worse.

    Vigilantes are people, full of prejudices and mental 'blind spots'. They have no accountability for what they do, and they are prone to making up what constitutes 'justice' as they go along, often adjusting that notion to correspond to whatever they have already done or plan to do.

    We have one in my neighborhood (kinda). He's an old retired Navy guy and lives across the street from us. He's always keeping an eye on things going on around the neighborhood and won't hesitate to confront anyone. If we go out of town, we always let him know because he'll keep a closer eye on our house.
