    I think you are missing the point that if criminals were actually being imprisoned, it would be much less likely that the vigilantes would exist.

    Two men on a motorcycle with guns happens because there is almost no chance for justice. Even if an arrest were made and someone came up with the money to hire a prosecutor, it can take years before there is a judgment. If you can solve that problem first, you might have a chance at solving the second, but not before. I know you feel that people getting their own justice is a bad thing but feelings aren't going to get anywhere. Now, if you thought of a practical way that people could get justice without vigilantes, I'm willing to listen and I may well support your proposal.

    Have you thought of a practical way that the average Filipino in the street can receive justice? As I said, feeling will get you nowhere.

    I can't Remember if at all, where an innocent Bystander got hit, they normally know what they are doing

    This appears to be the war for drugs, or who gets to enjoy the 1000% profits. There's seldom a serious investigation, no witnesses, and no arrests. It's beginning to look more like Mexico rather than the successful approach in Portugal.
