This is another one of those gray areas. In this case, short of waiting to see what, if anything, this guy got for his attempted murder, there were few options left. I find it sad that local law enforcement would allow this behavior to persist for so long. I know that today, this guy would have been arrested for intimidation of a witness along with multiple other crimes but I'm not sure what the laws on the books were during this time.
I'm usually against vigilanti justice but in the obvious absence of assistance from local law enforcement when it was clearly needed, I would have to say I can't blame them for what they did.
