If I knew a rapist or child molester lived in the area and a child who had been attacked described them to me as the suspect, I would e inclined to load up and handle business especially if it was my child. In this case though you are also dealing with mob mentality which changes the dynamics of the situation considerably...reason and logic are not a part of mob mentality.
I am seeing an uptick in robberies and such in the area. I just never thought i'd see this, especially with the whole "No snitching" campaign youths have taken up.
I feel, like you said, we'll start seeing more of this. I just wonder how the police and court system will handle it. I wonder if we'll see things happening to people for example that are selling drugs on the corner.
