For example, two of the most eminent commentators of the time, Rabbi Samuel ben Meir (Rashbam) and Rabbi Joseph Bekhor-Shor, felt the need to go on at uncharacteristic length in order to explain that the Hebrew text refers only to unlawful killing. Both these scholars pointed out plainly the differences between the Hebrew roots for killing and murdering (for good measure, Bekhor Shor even provides a French translation of the latter term: meurtre), and brought ample evidence of the Torah's condoning other types of killing.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

I'm sure you're feeling all super awesome because you're repeating an extremely obvious point (With quotes too, go you!) that vigilante is commonly used in the sense of a post-crime retribution taking place outside the law. I should have expected that Poly was a poor place for nuance.
Ooohhhh, let's!! You can post some dictionary definitions that you cherry pick to refer specifically to executions carried out by the state, and then you can feel all glowy and special while I beat my head repeatedly against my desk in frustration.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

There is just a cultural difference here.
In the UK someone who owns and trains with a gun for self defence would be seen as abnormal, and it does have negative connotations. The idea they are taking a vigilante mindset (with the associated negative connotations) makes more sense.
In much of the US it's seen (and is) much more normal so that really doesn't make sense.
Either way as kentonio said he regrets his choice of words I'm not sure why you are all still going on about it.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Make a noise and the terrified junkie will run off?
Don't forget it is exceptionally unlikely an intruder here will be armed. Unless you are actually a gangster being targeted by a rival gang.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
