Big Sky Debate is pleased to release its March/April 2009 NFL Lincoln Douglas
resources on the vigilante justice topic. The resolution, released
on February 1, 2009 by the National Forensics League, is:
Resolved: Vigilantism is justified when the government has failed to enforce the law.
The index for our resources is here and a list of briefs for this book appears below the fold. Despite our perception of limited division of ground on this topic, our staff found a number of arguments on both the affirmative and negative. Among the strongest: - AFF: The United States has a rich history of vigilante enforcement of the law and the concept was supported by our founders.
- AFF: Modern day interpretations, including border crossing guards, those protecting their homes and assisting in crime prevention are critical to decreasing crime.
- NEG: Vigilante justice increases violence.
- NEG: Vigilante justice risks diminishing civil rights.
- NEG: Vigilante groups today are riddled with racism and xenophobia.
Good luck this month! As always, our individua issues of NFL LD resources are just $15!
