REPOST After Charlie Kirk Assassination: Is Vigilante Justice Destroying America?
A man is gunned down in broad daylight—and instead of outrage, the crowd cheers. The crowd cheered for Unitedhealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's murder, and some cheered when Charlie Kirk was shot. Is this justice, or the slow unraveling of democracy?
In this episode of The Journalism of Everything Podcast, host Darisse Smith sits down with UCLA law professor Jon Michaels, co-author of Vigilante Nation, to explore the rise of vigilante justice in America. This is an important repost from earlier this year. From Daniel Penny’s subway chokehold to Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal, from Bernard Goetz in the 1980s to Texas’s SB8 abortion law, we ask the difficult question: When citizens take the law into their own hands, does democracy weaken—or is it already failing?
Together we examine:
Why the assassination of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO sparked celebration instead of condemnation.
How vigilante cases reveal fractures in America’s criminal justice system.
The difference between self-defense and state-sponsored vigilantism.
How laws and politics are shaping a dangerous culture of private enforcement.
This is a conversation about power, fear, and the future of democracy itself.
