Traditional The traditional view of vigilantism is that some people see the government as being ineffective in enforcing of the law to its fullest extent so they directly justify execution of violent acts — in place of reporting the incident to allow law enforcement to handle the matter — in order to bring about justice.[1]
From the view of vigilantes, If the delivered justice is not enough or is not delivered, the vigilante will correct the outcome with more punishment or deliver the punishment themselves.[2]
Also some vigilantes recognize moral laws being superior or a higher priority than governmental laws so their acts are based around "the ends justify the means" as a common theme.
