The Idaho World responded to the Walla Walla Statesman's claim that vigilante violence was OK and that Idaho would benefit from 'a season of quiet' if citizens there would support local vigilante activity. In the 18 May 1866 printing of the Statesman, the World wrote: "It will enjoy 'a season of quiet' when the stranglers cease to outrage the community with their crimes--not till then."
It is really interesting to watch this conflict unfold between those who approve of vigilante activity and those who do not. I wonder if I would feel safe as a citizen.
