{{other uses}}Frontier justice (also called vigilante justice[1] or street justice) is extrajudicial punishment that is motivated by the nonexistence of law and order or dissatisfaction with justice.[2] The phrase can also be used to describe a prejudiced judge.[3] Lynching[2] and gunfighting are considered forms of frontier justice.[4]

Examples

United States

  • March 20 to April 15, 1882: Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday tracked and killed 4 cowboys said to be responsible for Morgan Earp's death, which would later become known as the Earp Vendetta Ride.[5]
  • Late 1800s: A group of self-appointed lawmen called "stranglers" lynched around sixty horse and cattle rustlers along southwest North Dakota's Little Missouri River.[1]

Brazil

  • April 1991: José Vicente Anunciação murdered a co-worker during a drunken knife-fight in Salvador, Bahia. Witnesses to the crime were not able to provide evidence in court. Anunciação was set free and then dragged from his bed at night by a mob of forty people who beat him to death with bricks and clubs. Previously, a mob of fifteen-hundred people stormed and set fire to the Paraná prison where Valdecir Ferreira and Altair Gomes were being held for the murder of a taxi-cab driver.[6]
