Vigilante Execution: Difference between revisions

** And another one happens to a [[Serial Killer]] couple in the two-parter "Assume Nothing"/"All for our Country", though for once it doesn't have any relation with this time Nick stupidly giving information about the case to an old college friend.

* One episode of ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' ran this one into the ground, with the mother of a vacationing college student killing the gang-wannabe who'd murdered her son as an initiation. That she was allowed anywhere near the man is particularly egregious, as both of the victim's other close relatives had ''already'' threatened or attacked the [[Red Herring]] suspect in the case.

* A variant in ''[[Noah's Arc]]'': {{spoiler|When one of the guys who gay bashes Noah gets off with a minimal sentence, Wade goes to beat them down (and judging by how badly he beats on the guy, he probably did intend to kill him)}}.

* ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' had this happen to a killer who hadn't even made it to trial; he was on the run from the law when he was tracked down and killed. As far as we know, the protagonists never found out that this happened.

== [[Video Games]] ==

* In ''[[Condemned]]'', SKX's MO, in a nutshell. He is ''exactly'' as inhumane as the killers themselves, to the point where he crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]].

* In [[Tales of Vesperia]], two high ranking nobles (both [[Complete Monster]]s) fall "victim" to this trope after [[Kick the Dog|kicking one too many dogs]] [[Karma Houdini|and getting away with it.]] One gets slashed across the chest and dumped into a river, while the other is led by sword point into a quicksand bog and buried alive. {{spoiler|Main character Yuri Lowell is the vigilante behind both kills, considered by many to be [[Moment of Awesome|CMOA's]] for him.}}

* The first episode of the [[Telltale Games]] series ''[[Law and Order]]'': ''Legacies'' has one - early in the "Order" segment, a Russian diplomat, whose claim of [[Diplomatic Immunity]] is still being determined, is gunned down in the courtroom by the father of the woman he raped and murdered, very narrowly missing Abbie Carmichael. The rest of the game is Michael Cutter's prosecution of the father.
