  • Summary

  • Cain Velasquez’s alleged act of chasing down and shooting at Goularte for allegedly abusing his son, Cain Jr., seems like a clear case of vigilante justice. American legal history is replete with such cases. One of the most notorious is the case of Jody Plauche. Jody had a normal childhood in Louisiana until he started taking karate lessons from a man named Jeff Doucet. Doucet became obsessed with Jody, sexually assaulted him, and kidnapped him all the way to California. Fortunately, Jody was rescued, and Doucet was arrested. Days later, police transported Doucet back to Baton Rouge in handcuffs. Then, as live TV cameras followed Doucet through the airport terminal, Jody’s father rushed forward with a gun, and shot and killed his son’s abuser in cold blood. In the video footage, police officers are heard shouting, “Why, Gary? Why?!”
