` :::I agree with Cerejota. Given their propensity for ratings-motivated sensationalism caution is necessary when adopting the language used by the media. The term ``vigilante`` is commonly loaded with negative baggage, including high degrees of unlawfulness and vengeance. Perhaps some more moderate language is appropriate for the main article, such as ``organised resistance`` or ``people who have banded together for mutual protection``. That said, www.thefreedictionary.com defines ``vigilante`` as: ``One who takes or advocates the taking of law enforcement into one's own hands.``, which does seem appropriate in the present context. Evidently, this issue is not clear-cut.   `
