I don't think vigilante justice is acceptable, but i do find it unacceptable that vigilantes get locked up while criminals go free.

I mean sure, but people are often wrong. Maybe some other dude is home, maybe it's the wrong house. Maybe someone is on a sex offender list because at some point they were 18 while their girlfriend was 17, Peed in public and someone saw it. Whatever the fuck.

If there's even a hint of doubt, I'd rather let someone guilty walk free than put an innocent person in jail.

Yes, but there are a lot of known criminals sleeping comfy in their lofts and mansions.
