I think that what is… idk, encouraging? about it is that we finally saw them flinch. After years of seeing justice go unserved and the villains thumb their nose at the law with full confidence that they’ll walk away unscathed, we got to see a slight chill, like they just learned that they may be mortal after all. Unfortunately, it’s also shown that the institutions can’t be trusted to do the right thing, and as long as they continue to be as feckless as they are, we’re going to see more of this. So, ultimately, inadvertently, the institutions are encouraging this vigilantism.*

I fully expect this to fade away soon as our “society” has the collective attention span of a dust mite, but we have to celebrate small victories wherever they come.

*or they could be encouraging it intentionally as a means to further break down our foundations </tinfoil>
