Vigilante justice has been growing in LATAM for some time now.

I once watched the results of an entire town turn out to thwart the kidnapping of a local elderly woman who was benefactor to the school and owned most of the local businesses, including the gas station (social center).

First indication was several young physically fit men running through the bush like striped-assed gazelles. Me and partner couldn't figure out what was going on until we saw the townspeople come over the hill. They were carrying flashlights - looked like a mob scene from a movie. Very funny to watch.

Most of it comes in economically depressed areas where there is little or no police presence. But I have also seen individual cases among the more well to do.
