re: burning down a crack house...

Would it make a difference who owned the alleged crack house? How about if some factory worker bought it at a tax acution and planned on remodling it? Suppose our factory worker had been watching these ads on tv on how to make a fortune in real estate and decided to get into the game? What if he had just floated his first big loan and let contracts to do the work. He had just paid the architect and engineers, ordered the plumbing fixtures, and gotten his permits from the city. He is becoming a developer.

Now he is burned down by your born again vigilante. Does it make a difference he just lost his life savings in that fire? After all, no crack addicts were killed in the fire. So they just move on to the next vacant house to use. Or, is it serving a moral purpose if crack addicts were killed?

Your call. You are making the distinction on what is being burned down.
