This guy although a high risk, is NOT wanted by the police......but you may notice that in warnings against vigilante action, they talk about the MAXIMUM fine or imprisonment and many may feel that revenge is worth the sacrifice......It seems to almost encourage action against individuals. I understand what you are saying cashman....and that is my point! Naming and shaming encourages normally well adjusted law-abiding citizens to do something on the spur of the moment that will change their life forever. I am sure that other accywebbers feel the same as you (I do) but is it right?
