When they say, "Money stops nonsense", there is almost no lie there. And that includes the level of crimes in a place. So many bad things done are mainly for the sake of money, everybody want to fit in and they think having enough money will help them fit in right. Money is also the cause of crimes and other bad occurrences in our areas.
So if I had the money to become a crime-fighting vigilante, it would be great opportunity to take on. Even as money can cause havoc, I believe money can be the solution to those havoc too. All that changes is the usage of the money and the hand it is placed on when it leaves the earner's pocket.
I've got almost no strength physically and it's more than enough reason to want to give up on the opportunity to fight crimes but thinking of relying on corrupt authorities and hoping for things to get better by them, that's all the reason I need to take the law into my hands to be a hero.
Wealth and power is what makes the world go round, I believe I can attain a good level of security for the people of my community or area if money and power is not an issue for me to give. Being a vigilante, not with my physical appearance but with my money and power will be a great opportunity that I'd be willing to explore.
I've seen a lot of crime movies and it is quite exhilarating to see how the bad guys are put in their rightful place, creating peace for those they have been tormenting. Then there is the main guy (hero) who either works in the shadow or provide equipment or give info for others to do the job.
It's sad that our vigilante here are lacking in doing their actual job, I hear of some who even act as the villains disguised as vigilante. This has made the matter of security more of a personal thing than a public matter. So many of us know too well enough not to rely on their security skills.
I remember one time where people around burnt a thief alive when he was caught, the police didn't get involved as no one called. I don't think I want to be a part of this kind of creating security as it involves taking lives. If I had the money and power, I'd create a kind of fear in my area by employing young vigilantes trained for the job.
Setting up good Cctv devices at every corner of the streets, that is well controlled and watched 24/7 by security men who would do their job well if well paid. Having more street lights on at every bending corner or dark areas, is also a must and I believe it will reduce the movement of bad guys.
Playing the hero with my money and power from the shadows is what I'd gladly do. With good security, people will be able to create more opportunities for themselves without worrying about being attacked or cheated into losing their lives or property. It's better than to rely on the law.
