Civil Disobedience Or Vigilantism?
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
5 pages in length. In assessing whether or not Samuel Mohammed is a vigilante or an individual practicing civil disobedience, one must first determine what – if anything – the authorities had done to rectify the situation. Granted, one can readily surmise that law enforcement officials were
well aware of the crack house and its detrimental impact upon surrounding neighborhoods. Why was the abandoned building not boarded up, condemned or otherwise outfitted to deter such undesirable activity long before Mohammed was compelled to set fire to the structure? Was there no other viable solution as a means by which to address the
escalating problem of the crack house? The writer discusses whether or not a man who purposely set fire to an abandoned crack house was acting out of civil disobedience or vigilantism. No bibliography.
