Vigilante justice is still justice, and murder is simply a legal concept that varies from state to state. In most states "sudden passion" is a mitigating factor that can reduce murder to manslaughter. Granted, it get's a little hard to argue sudden passion after about your 11th kill.
We can't trust individuals to deal out proper punishment for crimes. Individuals don't need proper evidence, nor do they discern things out rationally. No matter what crime the victim has committed, any respectable court would try them as a murderer. We can't just let people go around killing people, no matter how justified some would see it to be.
