But when the vigilantes are an out reach of the state, and the state choses not to compel them back into line, or even applauds them, thats really not the mirror.
So I kind of get the tenor of the article, but banging Luigi in, I think is a logical error. Yes, what he did is wrong. No, it is not "both sides are the same" because he didn't work in the interest of the state, and he is not why the state is prepared to permit vigilantes to operate. He did it as a protest against the state, and the state does it as a cheap way of suppressing opposition to the aims of the kleptocracy/kakistocracy.
Please do not read this comment as supporting either kind of vigilantism. It's a comment to the logic of the article not pro or ante taking things into your own hands.
