Line 175:
* Jack Ruby, who killed Lee Harvey Oswald to avenge his assassination of [[John F. Kennedy]]. On live television. He himself was arrested. The [[Who Shot JFK?|various conspiracy theories]] surrounding the assassination have meant that Ruby, naturally, has come under a lot of scrutiny, with many theorizing that he killed Oswald not to avenge the widow Kennedy and her family but to [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|silence him on behalf of]] [[Conspiracy Theory|the true perpetrators of the event.]]
* [[Serial Killer]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140611194159/http://www.truecrimereport.com/2009/10/serial_killer_vigilante_willia.php William Inmon] was a self-proclaimed vigilante. His arguments for this are unconvincing.
* Mainstream press such as the [[BBC]] have labeled Northern Irish internet activist [[Jim Browning]] a "vigilante" for his actions against [[Tech Support Scammer]]s, but Browning himself argued against being called as such, contending that while his methods of intervention are legally grey at best due to lack of legal authority to conduct network intrusions, his hacks versus scam call centres are done in a civil and professional manner. The most that Jim does as far as hacking goes is to infiltrate their networks and gather as much evidence as he can with respect to privacy and security, and intervene in a lawful manner if needed.
