The Boondock Saints dilemma

I’m in a mood and we need to talk
In the boondock saints, 2 brothers send themselves on a religious journey to destroy all evil by putting the power of judge and jury in their own hands, murdering mob members, murderers, and adulterers.
Throughout the movie there is a constant argument going on in the media about whether or not the general public agrees with the murders, and whether or not it’s right to put that power into ones own hands.
So here’s the dilemma.
Can one man have the power to judge good and bad, and is it justifiable to act upon this in a similar manner?
Imagine you live in a crime infested city and there’s news reports everywhere about three men killing crime lords, mobsters, drug pushers, etc day after day over and over again. Would you be scared or would you support it?
