Vigilantes have gotten a bad reputation in the last few decades and are constantly slurred with comparison to Democrat lynch mobs. Truth is, they were, in large part, just men doing good in a lawless land.

My father told me a story about my grandfather being involved with a vigilante group in Nashville, Tn. in the early 1900's. Seems there was a man in the neighborhood who used to beat his wife black and blue whenever he got drunk. My grandfather and some of the other men got together one night, put hoods on and went to the guys house. They drug him out into the front yard and whipped him till he couldn't stand, then told him if he ever beat his wife again they'd hang him. Dad said he reformed after that and even started going to church.
