First off, this isn't me telling everyone to pick up a gun and start a war against crime. It is more a matter that i am actually shocked that some angry parent or relative hasn't avenged some crime against them or their family with a Punisher style assault. If one has happened then it was such a feeble attempt that it didn't even make the news, or they got swallowed up by the mob on their first run. The concept of the vigilante has been around for a long time and a character like the Punisher isn't so far off that someone with the right training and motivations couldn't do it. To think that a police officer or military person hasn't been a victim of crime is pretty much impossible, so what is stopping the world from seeing its first Frank Castle?Also on this note, if there was a person on a killing spree against criminals, would the police put in a huge effort to halt it? If the crime rate in a city dropped to record lows out of fear, what would happen in other cities? It would probably spawn a bunch of copycats which would lead to greater problems everywhere.
Anyways, I for one will not be suprised one day if someone does take the law into their own hands on a large scale. I just hope they don't do it dressed up as a bat.
