VIGILANTE: KRIMINAL DIN!

Actually, we had a debate about this topic and we are the affirmative group. Now, the negative group defines vigilantes as a hero for a reason that they kill freed ex-convicts and murderers. They gave a different definition of a vigilante and a criminal. Vigilantes are people who kill bad people while criminals are people who kill innocent people. That they are helping to lessen the crime rate in our country. They also emphasized that because of the crime rate of the Philippines, tourists are discouraged to visit in our place. And that they are taking the role of our police because the government is not doing something. And as member of the affirmative group, I would like to prove them wrong.
First of all, vigilantes was never been a hero. Why? First is, killing someone was never been good regardless of whatever reasons you have. When you kill, you are violating the law of our country so as the law of our God. Second is, you can’t draw a line between a vigilante and a criminal! Because killing is a crime and when you do a crime, you are a criminal. The records they are holding are questionable. The probability that vigilantes are killing the exact people are questionable too. They don’t have the right to kill people and besides, since those ex-convicts are already freed, it means they have already paid their debt. Third is, vigilantes aren’t helping to lessen the crime rate of our country, they only add. Fourth is, don’t they know that because of that vigilantes, tourists are scared to visit in our country because of the fear that they may also be killed. It isn’t impossible, vigilantes kill innocent people. They aren’t helping the government, in fact they are only making things worse. And if they are helping, why are they hiding? Why is it that the government consider them as pests in the society?
What are the effects of vigilante killings on the people? Even in the high lands, there are still families who lives there and who earns their living there. And because of these vigilante killings, people are scared that they may be the next target. So what they do is, they transfer in the lowlands. And what happens next? As what I’ve said, they left their real homes in the mountains and together with this is they also left their businesses and other livelihoods. In the lowlands life is getting harder because of the high priced goods. Life in the high lands is totally different in the low lands. So we see how vigilantes destroy things.
It’s for you to decide…..
