The state response (prosecution) to this matter is precisely the inverse of what it should have been. Not only did the state fail to perform its duties, but it then went on to accuse a Regular Citizen of criminality for doing what is expected of Him in the case of such a failure or absence of the state, both of which are true.

This is absolutely not a case of vigilanteism, it is a case of the absolute failure of the State - in all manners and every single manner possible at once - except for whatever the culmination of this absurd trial may yet amount to. Only the Judge and Jury remains to correct the multi-faceted failures of The State.
