in my opinion yes, but only as a last resort.
for instance if say someone attempted to **** someone you love, got arrested went to court and got off with no sentence whats so ever, even though he has attempted to **** this person 3 times before(and gone to court each time)
Then yes, i do feel its justifiable in extreme circumstances.
On a day to day basis, no. In certain scenarios, where what your doing is justified, then yes. But then "justified" is subjective, so, I dunno.

No, never. It's stupid.
If someone kills your loved one and you go kill them, I understand that, but it's not justifiable. Vigilantism is never excusable, but it can be understandable.
We have laws and law enforcement for a reason. They're not perfect, but if everyone went around doing whatever they wanted, the world would be anarchic and a much worse place to live.

Of course it is
Just because society has us believing that the only people with authority are cops dose not mean we should just stand idly by when the police aren't around.

If your knocking them out and dragging them to the police station with some evidence attached spider-manz stylez, then yes.
If you kill someone accidentally in defense of a loved one, then yes.
If it's just killing when it's not an accident and you want your personal idea of "Justice" to be fufilled, then no. That's not justifiable.
It really depends on the circumstances.
