Again, it's all relative. If some guy is sitting outside my house, obviously casing my family, I have a major problem with that. If I had no idea who it was, or why they were there, I would find out.

That's fine. Dragging them out of their car and beating them up is another matter.

Like another poster pointed out, the guy could be armed, and could be a phsycho.

Which would make it doubly stupid for you to approach his car and triply stupid to take him on physically.

In a neighborhood where it takes the police an average of 28 minutes to respond to fired shots, I'm not gonna wait around to find out what the guy is up to. By the way, the station house is four blocks away. That is the kind of place I live in. If I lived in a nice shiny suburb, I would look at things differently. But I don't, so I can't.

None of these factors makes it okay for you to make up your own law and attack someone else.

That's life in the big city pal.

Your attitude to life in the big city could put you in the Big House.

And by the way, it's kind of silly to tell someone that they're flat out wrong, just because they would do things differently than you would.

It's only silly because that person is unlikely to listen. I'd have told Manson he was flat-out wrong to take out Sharon Tate & Co., too.
