Santa Claus for failing to leave Christmas presents for me year after year after year.

The folks that run city data and IMDB. Yeah!

IMDB as of late, sold out and became like City Data and about.com, worthless bureaucrats.

No one. Why? Paul Kersey was going after individual criminals or small groups of 2 or 3 men. Today's criminals are almost always affiliated with some large, organized street gang. Have you ever watched GANGLAND on the HISTORY channel? Going vigilante after one of these mugger, rapist, murderers means you will have to also take on the rest of his city gang, numbering often in the hundreds to thousands, many armed with assault rifles.

In many of the largest American cities, after the sun goes down, large inner urban areas are effectively Viet Cong territory. There is no law but the law of the jungle from the vast urban gang armies of the night controlling the cities. In Los Angeles the gang armies don't even fear the para-militaristic LA policeforce; they don't even fear going into prison for long terms. They have no hesitation shooting and killing LA cops. When I was a kid we were taught to respect and fear cops.

I always remember the science fiction of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK when the opening scene starts off with, "In 1998 crime rises 400%". There are millions of criminals and not enough prisons to hold them now. We may in the end have to cordon off a geographical part of the country and drop the millions of hardened criminals into it to fend for themselves.

I would go after incompetent doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers who kill patients with their mistakes and negligence. There is a reason it is called "practicing" medicine. They get to bury their mistakes. Please click on

People who use "your" when they should have used "you're".

reply

I would also go after people who use "its" instead of "it's" and "there" instead of "their".

I knew a guy who hated Guidos. He wanted to impose a Guido tax. Things like gold chains, sleeveless undershirts, tanning, some hair care products, manicures and IROC-Z cars would come with additional hefty taxes under his plan.

Just confiscate their chains and donate them to charity.

I'd go after corporate and white collar criminals.

Westboro Baptist church members.

Child/animal abusers, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, wife beaters, drug dealers, gangstas, drivers who dink or text while driving, corrupt politicians and David Caruso for being the worst actor ever.

I'd hunt down self-righteous vigilantes and help the cops put them in jail.
