You can still be a vigilante even if you don't attack the rioters and looters. He specifically went there to protect someone else's private property for free. That's vigilantism.
Just to be clear, I'm not expressing support or damnation of the vigilantism. America famously has a police problem and both sides of the political spectrum believe the police are inadequate for directly opposing reasons.
Hey, stupidass, you're saying the difference between a vigilante and a murderer is $10 an hour? Glad you're not in charge of the country. Make sure to keep your mouth shut during political conversations – you're incapable of having them.
That's literally the definition of Vigilante, when you take the law in your hands.
"a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate."
If you pay someone to protect you, they're protecting you or your property, it's a contract and they usually need a license to legally provide those services.
If you just up and decide to defend property, we created a word for it, it's vigilante; it's not political, it's the dictionary. How is he incapable when i'm having to teach you the dictionary.
