But if you become a vigilante then what is that going to solve as you will end up if you are caught with a criminal record and a spell in the clink.

Very true but when it is happening what would you do?

Quote:

Shop owners across London vowed to protect their own businesses as anger over the police's inability to stop widespread looting pushed them towards setting up their own neighbourhood vigilante groups.

Inspired by reports of Turkish and Bangladeshi groups chasing would-be looters out of their neighbourhoods in east London, many shop keepers took to the streets to deter looters. Hundreds of Sikhs turned out in the Southall area last night in a collective show of force after rumours circulated that jewellery shops were going to be targeted.

Re: Riots
 
See, all this crap from Cameron about having tough sentences on the rioters, get a good lawyer and they walk free.

IF they commited a crime during the riot or accepted goods knowing they were stolen in the riots is just as bad - whatever the sentences, it should remain.
