If we knew about terrorists within our borders, and those terrorists had threatened an attack within our borders, and no government agency would take action to stop them, would we, as citizens, be justified in killing them?

If we had proof of what they were doing and connections to other acts, we, as citizens do have the right to mobilize against them and draw them out. I answered "yes" to your poll becuase there was no "yes - but". What you're talking about is lynching, and that is not anything we can get away with. The best we can do, which isn't a bad idea really, is to draw them out on undisputable truth and set them up for arrest in some way.

It's a bitch living a in a free democratic republic with habeas corpus ain't it?
