4.0 out of 5 stars The nuts and bolts of vigilantism, January 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Vigilante Handbook (The Combat bookshelf) (Paperback)

When formal law and order are weak, inefficient, overwhelmed, corrupt, or just do not exist, then the citizens enforce the law directly. Vigilantism is a direct response by the citizens to a serious crime problem that has gotten out of hand. This is a practical book on what vigilantism is today, with emphasis on the nuts and bolts of vigilantism: what is being done, who is doing it, and how it is being done: tactics and techniques. Also includes an overview of the history, theory, and moralle of the American vigilante, causes of crime, and the breakdown of society's traditional methods of defense. A surprisingly level-headed and tastefull book.

3.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS WHAT HITLER DID TO THE JEWS IN GERMANY, November 16, 2008

Length:: 8:06 Mins

The problem with the vigilante system proposed in this book is that the system is so easy to corrupt and be used by hate groups.

* A man won't leave his wife or have sex with you? Have all of your friends spread lies around town that he's a pedophile.

*A minority woman rejects a white man's sexual advances? Get a friend in the police department to falsify a police record that she is an alcoholic drug user who neglects her children.

* Overhear your prosperous neighbor profess atheism? Get the town's local church communities to harass that person out of town, county or state.

THIS IS WHAT HITLER DID TO THE JEWS IN GERMANY:
Newspapers in the early 1930s were overflowed with lies claiming old Jewish men raped and enslaved young German women in debt to them.

The techniques in this book do not teach how to attain justice, so much as demonstrate how easily the minds of otherwise law abiding citizens can be subverted to commit moral and ethical atrocities.
