Do you think people have the right to take the law in their own hands in certain circumstances? Discuss your point of view.

Vigilantism or taking the law in your own hands is a dangerous proposition. Our society functions according to our laws and the right of due process. Once anyone takes the law in their own hands, regardless of the crime, our rules for living in a civilized society are compromised, Once private citizens feel they have the right to be judge, jury and punisher, our society will descend into chaos.
