Vigilantes cannot be considered heroes in our society. Their way of putting justice into their own hands by unmercifully killing people whom they think as “the cancer of the society”, is such an unfair act. As the popular saying goes, “Crime couldn’t be resolved by violence”, that is why we have our laws where the proper procedures of determining whether one is truly guilty or not.
This act of violence by the vigilante can be so dangerous for the civilians and other innocent people surrounding the person they think that deserve to die. There were already instances reported wherein the one they have killed was not really the one they intend to put an end in his life.
Another thing, if we are going to compare these vigilantes to our real heroes like Dr. Jose Rizal and our contemporary heroes like the OFW, these heroes sacrificed and forget bout’ themselves for the goodness of the majority. In addition, if they will be comparing themselves to Andres Bonifacio who used the war in order for them to fight for what they stand for, these vigilantes are operating in secret because maybe they are afraid that their identities will be revealed. Our known heroes in the same way are being sympathized by the people while these vigilantes are hated.
Moreover, if we are going to consider their motifs, for me until now I do still have doubts whether they are really killing for the sake of the country or for the sake of anyone else. As heard, there were some powerful personalities behind these vigilantes and most of these people are politicians who are afraid that their true colors will be revealed that is why they are seeking the help of this vigilantes to clean their mess for them.
If I were to describe these vigilantes, they are just like puppets of these powerful people who are taking advantage of these people who maybe are concerned for our society. In the same way they are like the NPA’s, MILF and other rebels that does not help the cause of our society but just adding up to its problems. Because of these killings, one aspect that could be greatly affected is our economic aspect. Businessmen may have doubts in investing in a place where violence is rampant, thus getting the opportunity for all the jobless to have work.
As a Catholic, I strongly disagree the way of the vigilante. Our body is sacred and no one has the right to put an end on this life, only our Creator. This stand by the church is being supported by the passages from the bible. It is stated in the law of the Catholics, the Ten Commandments, that killing is a heinous act and if it would be our response to gain justice it would be inappropriate. We also have our own stains in ourselves so we should not condemn them for having sins. Even if that person killed was truly a sinner, who are we to judge them? Are those vigilantes sinless?
