Saying that it's OK for random vigilantes to shoot at them means you've basically given up the idea of the rule of law.
I think there's a critical flaw in your logic. I think its the difference between theory and practice. The rule of law applies to little folks like you and I; and does not appear to apply to the oligarchy. Until the law applies to everyone equally, I'm more than happy to find satisfaction in the vigilantes. Too big to jail FTW...
