Vigilante justice only encourages people to be violent, it doesn't solve crime. It IS a crime. You don't fight fire with an atom bomb, you don't fight robbery with death.

This was in no way vigilante justice. It was an "active" threat. The hero acted to preserve the lives of other innocent people.
