It didn't help that the police arrested the victim and kept him in overnight, only releasing him the next day which would have been noticed by the neighbours and fuelled the belief even more. You still have to be an evil thug to set fire to someone, even more so to do it to someone unconscious. This isn't just vigilantism, it's about one of two real nasty people victimising someone.

I can see why some go for the vigilante approach though. My sister witnessed a guy fiddling with himself while looking at the kids in a playground and came back to call the police while I went and followed him to an address nearby. He was picked up by the police, my sister gave a statement and said she was happy to go to court, which for some reason was in the middle of london, nowhere near the incident. A few more conversations with the police happened over time and it was let out that he had previous history for the same thing. My sister turned up to the court day only to hear that the coppers who were supposed to go along were on holiday so the case was dismissed. There was no point in all that hassle, should have just smacked him one when I had the chance. Next time....
