hiya Jacques,
i'm gonna go against the majority here and say it can be very hard to distinguish good guys from bad guys. Usually because the bad guys are really good at disguising themselves into good guys. Many people never seem to realise this. If all bad guys looked like a bad guy, we wouldnt have a problem kicking them to the curb. If one has ever been down the road, and actually been prey, they come to realize this. IMO i think everyone becomes prey at one time or another. Just different faces/types of evil.
As for criminal recourse.... Gawd, NEVER go to the cops. Cops literally, rhetorically, and consistantly suck. i could cite incident after incident of them just being too lazy and not caring enough. Seriously folks, these days the cops would rather shoot our kitties out of the tree then save them. Remember folks, its all about the quota - whether its you or the bad guys filling it, the cops dun really care.
BEST WAY TO SPOT EM
i havent got a clue, except for my own methods. i watch the story line. Does it add up? i watch the lines of the story, do they add up? i watch between the lines of the story, does it add up? Basically, does the picture they paint of themselves consistant? Does any of their words conflict with any of their other words? Finally, do the things they dont say, their actions conflict or add up to what they say and do? Usually, their actual words are meaningless to me. i could care less if they like animals, or do this or that, or are like this or are like that. What do they do? Do the words add up to what they do? Of course, do the words add up together, what kind of picture do they WANT me to see?
i maybe abit jaded, but i never take anything at face value. Once i have actions, and words, and between the lines, i put the pieces together. Does my puzzle equal what they SAY their puzzle is, or is it different? (usually its different)
Of course, i always look at how they react to me. My most jaded view is, i always look for their motive in talking to me. What are they hoping to get, what do they want, whats the point/purpose. i look, i push, i pull i test.
And on top of all that, i keep my emotions out of it. i keep myself back. Way far back. i dont personally get involved, i dont invest myself. i dont show myself. You get really good when, you seem to invest yourself, or invest enough of yourself that they THINK you are invested. Which is a real bonus, because once the predators THINK you are invested, they tend to start moving in. The picture starts to become clearer. You start to see them for who they really are. You can see them start to use YOUR words to manipulate you, to play you, twist your mind.
they're are preds who are really good at being preds
they're are preds who are really very dumb
they're are preds who are just plain amatuers.
The best way to stop them, is to become one yourself. The more you deal with, the more you see, the easier it is to put the pieces to the puzzle together.
This is the little dance i call Poker for life. (finding out whats in the others persons hand, before they see yours)
Remember : Dont invest yourself.
AS for Vigilantism
Sure, i'd go after ppl i knew were screwed up. But as for people OTHER people say are screwed up, well then i'd have to figure out their motives and put the pieces of the puzzle together again.
people lie and people only want you to know the best things about them
