Going on a tangent here, that's an interesting claim, and I think I disagree. I posit that vigilantism is merely an alternative vehicle to the legal system, and only outcomes can be just or unjust.

Let us not fool ourselves into thinking that the legal outcome is necessarily the just outcome.




I full heartedly agree that the courts are courts of law, not courts of justice or morality. However, mob justice isn't justice, either.
