I can't stand when people or even animals who can't defend
   themselves get hurt - not just physically but even verbal or
   emotionally. Little kids, the elderly, animal cruelty - abuse is
   abuse. Even grown adults who get hurt - it's just not right and
   I think with adults, mental and emotional torture is still
   pretty bad because there are no scars - just he said/she said
   and in those cases, the better tale-teller wins - every time.
   But still - nothing worse than the abuse of innocents - that's
   probably the only time I sorta understand vigalante behavior
   (although there's no excuse for vigalante behavior unless the
   proper channels have completely failed) "
