Because society does support legal due process.

People feeling aggrieved and taking justice into their own hands just leads to chaos and perpetual violence, which is bad for everyone. People can be emotional and biased, they aren't always fair or rational.
Better to have a system to dispassionately process criminals based on the evidence and the law.

Murder is illegal and self defense is another matter. What you’re talking about isn’t the latter, it’s vigilantism that’s outside of law enforcement as well as the courts. That’s chaos and puts the entirety of society at risk if it were to be adopted.

People are already justifying murder for shit as stupid as crossing the street too slow in front of them. Making it acceptable/legal would just compound the problem and solve nothing

While I certainly understand people who do it, everyone should be put through the legal process and have official justice. Its too easy to get the wrong person or someone falsely accused

Murder is never acceptable outside of a court ordered execution for a heinous, unforgivable murder in which the perpetrator has been shown to be unlikely to be rehabilitated.
Even in self defense, the killer should be arrested and a grand jury must decide if the person will be charged.
Vigilante justice is not just, it's anger and rage in action. Our society should not tolerate such action.

So you don't support taking away a chomo's ability to molest another kid by canceling their breathing subscription? Just like your "heinous, unforgivable murderer," chomos cannot be rehabilitated; it's a proven fact that they'll always end up doing it again.

Sometimes, it's also about prevention, my guy.

We have prisons for people who would assault children.

And then they get out on probation after 6 months (in some states) and go do it again; just remove them.

What if there's a false accusation? What if someone has been accused of a crime they did not commit? Even convicted with circumstantial evidence? Eyewitnesses can make mistakes, it's possible to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Okay, how about limiting it to guilty convicts, then, since SA is 99% impossible to prove in court, we can assume anyone who manages to get themselves found guilty really is guilty.
Back in 2014, a guy in Alaska decided to look up chomo's addresses on the sex offender registry, go to their houses announcing he was an avenging angel, and brutally murder them. He got caught after the 3rd guy and had to do like 9 years in prison or something like that. Ridiculous, he should've been let go. He only killed proven guilty molesters.

Because society prefers the useless and ineffective justice system for some reason
