Vigilante violence is almost always wrong. Part of the reason is that by definition it has none of the checks & balances required to ensure retribution is proportionate (which is the lowest hurdle you need to clear before you can even get started on a defence of retribution).

You don't know anything about the random Nazi in the street you want to maim. You know nothing about his childhood, education or mental health. You have no idea whether he was brought up in appalling circumstances. Yet despite this you claim the right to maim him. Well fuck you.
