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) "
