You do it the exact same way that activist judges have decriminalized all sorts of crime.
You just ignore it when it happens. If police do arrest somebody that bodies a chomo, you just toss the case and let them out.

We could legalize it just for the killing of pedophiles.
But then you’d run into people blaming people of being a pedo just to take them out.
But some cases law or no law… a pedo is a walking dead man.

Vigilante justice is too subjective and arbitrary. For example most of the drive-by shootings and violence in the hood is vigilante justice.
Why not just advocate for tougher sentencing instead?

Wrong. It’s just beyond a reasonable doubt.

It's all well and good until the mob decides to kill someone who is actually innocent or worse the mob has been tricked to killing someone who has something that someone else wants they figured out how to manipulate the mob to killing for their personal gain.
It would be better to have swift justice, harsh and codified so that the person got their trial then paid quickly afterwards.

Vigilante justice can be legal if choreographed properly.

I agree in VERY specific cases. For example, we've read far too many stories where a parent discovers a pedo who's broken into their home (sometimes several times) and raped their kid and caught them in the act.
Frankly if I'm that parent I don't even call the police, I call Waste Management to pick up the corpse

This why we need the Mafia. They would take care of it when it was necessary. The people who lived in neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Queens, Howard Beach were able to leave their doors unlocked at night.

I read a statistic that 94% of sex offenders don't re-offend. Surprised me for sure. Of course that was across all SOs and not just pedos.

It’s only illegal if you get caught

Wouldn’t it just cascade? Like if you executed someone for your own version of vigilante justice couldn’t someone from that person’s life execute you. And so on and so forth until there remains only one.
Of course this would be the case. There is a reason we have a society, because the majority of us decide how the rest of us are going to behave and live. Its human nature. All of these folks wishing for vigilante justice and civil war and all manner of silly shite are merely emotionally unstable and immature adults who have lead a life of immeasurable ease and have concluded it is due to their wit and grit. Most of them couldn't go to Home Depot and buy a tomato plant in April and eat a tomato off the damned thing in July but dream of being self reliant and rugged individuals.

Not posting to the OP but simply because the OP was the OP.....
For all of the posters in this thread claiming that vigilante justice is called for due to the system failing and being a farce you really ought to take a look at the trend in crime, especially violent crime, in the US, and prison populations. Despite the irrational fears stoked by journalists and politicians who profit from ignorance and fear and mistrust both have been trending down significantly for about 20 years. When you look at who is committing most crimes it is indeed the same person doing so over and over again. Most of their crimes are committed before they are arrested and convicted of a serious crime but once that happens they tend to stay in prison a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG time and return to prison pretty damned quickly. While there are ample anecdotal examples to the contrary it is not as widespread as many irrationally believe and it is certainly not widespread enough to create an atmosphere where vigilante justice is called for on any sort of scale....that's an insane idea.
That said if someone harms someone close to you your handling that person as you see fit should not come down to a decision about the legality of your actions. If shooting the bastard who rapes your daughter being illegal is what is preventing you from doing so you weren't intent on doing so in the first place. For a myriad of reasons.

A lot of that is because many jurisdictions won't report or reclassify incidents as either not criminal or a lesser degree of crime. Also, there are large departments and cities who will no longer forward their crime statistics to the FBI data center.

With the rate that progressive judges release criminals like this (and worse), I wouldn't be shocked to see this type of "justice" happen more often in the future.
Didn’t one in Portland or Seattle just release one b/c the victim told him to stop stabbing me you nagger. Dude is just trying to survive and drops the N word and it equates to getting off an attempted murder charge.
If I’m the victim, vigilante justice doesn’t sound so bad…

Would it be vigilante justice if it were legal?
I agree with your point and there absolutely should be laws that protect people who do something most parents would do if they had the opportunity to do so. But I would want them to suffer.
As in, beat the piss out of them, chain the up in a shed. Don't give them no water and food for a few days then after that just give them the bare minimum to eat and drink. A piece of bread and a small cup of water. Every few weeks I will hose them down. Get them addicted to pain meds and then just stop giving it to them for a few days, then give it to them again and just keep doing that to them.
