Love the condescending question, of course that's not vigilantism. You also talked about community self defense.

>When government does not act it is up to the individual and community to protect themselves.

I was providing input on why someone called you a vigilante. Literally no one is saying people shouldn't defend themselves but when you say stuff like "When government does not act it is up to the individual and community to protect themselves." after saying "This why the second amendment exists" it isn't out of the realm of reality for someone to interpret that as you wanting more than 'individuals using "adequate self-defense"'. It is especially not out of the realm of reality considering the country we live in.

Didn’t Norfolk Southern cut their workforce and not update their brakes? Accidents happen but just explaining away this situation with that completely ignores the explicit decisions made by Norfolk Southern that increased the chance of this happening.

They have the option to ensure that the rails and the trains are operating as safely as possible which they did not do. There were many people who have been saying for years that an accident like this was inevitable because of actions rail companies were taking.
