The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber

To what extent is it moral to take matters into your own hands?

1. Please post a well thought out response to this question including at least one citation from Francis Macomber to back up your claim. To "wow" your peers and I (aka, get an A), I encourage you to look at online news sources for instances of vigilantism to cite and include in your response.
Be sure to put the link(s) for your online news source on a separate line at the end of your paragraph.

2. Please respectfully comment on at least two other students posts as to whether or not you agree/disagree with an explanation as to why, again citing textual evidence.

***Don't forget to use your Last, then First name when posting. :)
This assignment is due Monday (9-30) at midnight.
