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.
So in other words lets wait until the guy shoots someone and than ok to use force? What if it was you in the restaurant and you had every reason to believe he had a real gun?
