With the staff cuts in police departments around the US , I'm suprised vigilantism hasn't come back yet. Had that conversation with someone the other day. Maybe it's coming, who knows...
Like all social changes, its happening slowly at first, and then all of a sudden it will be a thing. Not every detail of the never ending black on black crime wave makes the news. Most victims of black crime are black, and therefore the retaliation is just more black on black crime, and the media has shown they dont give a shit unless a cop or a white person is involved.
Unless and until folks are at the point of spiking remains at the entrances, I'm not even sure what the outward signs would be. As u/Apricorn notes, the highest armed violence is intra-racial thus in blue cities where the populace is already desensitized. On a very local level, people will start waking up to their own power
But the MSM would have a vested interest in NOT letting people know they have that power of self defense. Much like their non-existent reporting on Sri Lanka, it does then no good to remind honest people that they are indeed the majority.

Need some Charlie Bronsons in every city. Death Wish is more relevant now than ever
Would love to see Charles Bronson go ham on the pop up mob looters in the malls
Vigilantism is hard when you are being watched and tracked everywhere you go, with Big Brother's eyes at all angles.
Vigilantes always get more ire and effort to stop them than the criminals.
Oh, it is on the rise. It's a dirty little secret. They don't post the successful saves citizen make.
Love to seee some digs on that! Always love those dirty little secrets lol.
Nobody has the balls.
There's an assumption here...
If it were happening, who would report it?

There'd be plenty of motivation to make an example out of those who are caught though, yet we don't see that.
It hasn't come back because everyone knows that even the most cut and dry morally right vigilantism would be target #1 for the police to deal with.
